What do you still buy that you're convinced no one else still does?

[SomewhereInbetween1]

Title may have been a slight exaggeration, but is there anything you continue to purchase ( be it groceries, cleaning products, home bits etc) that is maybe seen as outdated, useless, old fashioned or just generally unliked by the masses , that you continue to buy?

Mine is Fisherman's Friend. I love them but have never found anyone else who still buys them!

Butterscotch Angel Delight + Banana Angel Delight

Banoffee Angel Delight.

You're welcome

Shake n vac

Lemon puff biscuits

Colmans mustard powder

Flaked rice

Add some Irish cream liqueur into the Camp Coffee Iced Coffee. You'll thank me for it.

Did anyone mention fig rolls? My dds go mad for them.

Chocolate limes

Joke! Satan's own confectionery 🤢

Some things belong in the history books!

I love chocolate limes!

Things i still regularly buy are

Pears bar soap
Shake n vac
Eurycil powdered toothpaste
Camp coffee
Angel delight
potted beef
Lunch tongue (bloody love it)
Fox's Brandy snaps
Lemon puffs
Abernathy biscuits
And last week I rediscovered viscount mint biscuits
Heinz sandwich spread

As a guide leader I regularly buy Brasso

I'm a sucker for old school beauty products that are still classics
Astral cream
Rose water from boots
Coty purespun powder
And I always wear guerlian shalimar (first production in 1920)
I'm in my early 40s but love it.

I wish m and s would redo the camellia range

@fatimashortbread Come again? Mushroom ketchup!!

I buy -

Vesta meals ( chow mein)
Salmon paste spread
Crumpets
Viennetta ice cream

xx

Yes, condensed soup to make tuna pasta bake

Goblin meat pies

Yes mushroom ketchup I use it for that umami flavour in a lot of dishes. It's made by the Worcestershire sauce people - they also make anchovy sauce (for cooking)

I'm having a late night snack of Toast (made on my eye level grill) with..ta-da!The Gentleman's Relish, otherwise known as Patum Peperium The 1828, Recipe or just plain anchovy paste if you must, accompanied by a glass of port. Were I a man I'd probably be in my Gentleman's Club, being served by an old retainer wearing white gloves - and I'd be complaining about my gout

And I've got mushrooom ketchup in my cupboard.

Home pride curry sauce. That was my first taste of curry. And my mums recipe for Bol was tinned mince tinned mixed veg and a jar of Dolomio sauce! (Might try it again!) pure comfort food

Love this thread. Will be searching for pudding rice and Vesta Curry tomorrow.

We use box washing powder, hankies, soda crystals, and bar soap. I use green Fairy soap to handwash. With a bit of soda in the water it works better than Vanish on stains.

Didn't know there were so many Fishermen's Friends fans. I like the aniseed ones best.

Heinz Sandwich Spread. Loved it as a child in the 80s, and found it again recently . Still tasty.

I also have in my cupboards:

semolina, suet, dried peas (with the tablets; just used my last pack up on pea and ham soup), tinned rice pudding, Fray Bentos pies, dried pulse/bean soup mixes, etc..

Also, thought of more:
Angel Delight
pop tarts (occasionally)
Guerlain Samsara, which I'm struggling to find now
fig rolls
garibaldi biscuits
tumble dryer sheets
Fry's peppermint cream
walnut whip
Use pearl barley lots
Faggots
Liver
Powder puff with loose dusting powder
Powder compressed onto thin leaves of paper
Wham bar
Birds custard powder
Shake n vac
Tinned corned beef.

I'm sure there's plenty more but I'm knackered.

There are aniseed flavoured fisherman's friends?
💗

Horlicks anyone ?

Heinz tinned Spag Bol on toast reminds me of childhood and Ravioli.

Always washing powder here and soap

Proper butter always

Buttybach where do you get your Abernathy biscuits, i havent seen them for ages

Sosmix. Dh loves it.

I love fig rolls! I once had a twitter exchange with a seminal indie bands singer that centred around Fig rolls, and it was one of the crowning moments of my life!
