I recently found out the name of something which was discontinued years ago and I still mourn.

Terrys Moments - Hexagonal chocolate with a caramel filling inside

Orange Chewits I swear are gone too.

Anything else missed?

Spira. I still look out for it wistfully occasionally.

And Quavers when they didn't have onion powder in..

Nestle double cream chocolate bar. I never saw it anywhere but the school vending machine, pre Jamie Oliver.

Cadbury Snaps. Anyone remember them?

OrigamiParrot · 26/01/2021 16:17

@bumpdownthestairs I did not know this - thought they’d fully disappeared from UK shores! Thank you Smile

Prawn cocktail Wotsits

John West tuna in BBQ sauce. Have tried adding sauce to tuna but just not the same.

Heinz Toast Toppers. I wish I was clever enough to invent a recipe for a home made version.

Proper Cadbury's chocolate before they messed with it. I can't eat the stuff now.

There used to be I think a Sara Lee bar (oven) that had cinnamon in it. Delish.

M&S also did once a nice Cappucino sort of roll cake - gone.

M&S also discontinued their Chocolate Tiffin the bar-stewards!

There was a cereal, I think in the 90s that was like crumbled up weetabix. I think it was possible Tesco branded. It wasn't proper flakes, like cornflakes, it was smaller. I absolutely loved that.

Yes to yellow starburst - why replace them with the blackcurrant monstrosity?!

Findus Crispy Pancakes.
Especially the cheese and the chicken curry ones.
The ones they do now have got mozzarella in them so have completely the wrong texture.

BK Mushroom Double Swiss. It always crops up in "What food/dring do you miss?" threads, so I assume they'd sell pretty well if they were reintroduced.

M&S syllabubs: sherry-flavoured whipped cream, set with carageen on a bit of sponge.

Marks and Spencer spring onion crisps were magic Sad

Corn Pops cereal and Start Cereal - both covered in sugar so no wonder I liked them so much as a kid!
