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?

Morrisons had some pot mash in the other day for £1 a pot. Not sure it was called pot mash or another brand name but it was definitely different flavoured smash in a pot![/quote]
I've just done my online Morrisons order and didn't find any when I searched. :(

Tesco own brand vegetarian Lincolnshire style sausages. DD's favourite food. Discontinued.
Bakers Oven - Jam Viennese. OMG the best and most addictive cake ever. So good.

Our big Sainsbury's sells PLJ (we make a special trip across town every so often since Tesco dropped it). H&B sell it too but more expensive.

Walkers Max Chilli and Lime. Gone after such a brief time. Apparently "not enough demand".

Weepingwillows12 · 26/01/2021 20:47

I miss sizzle and stir tikka masala sauce and a packet mix of lemongrass chicken. They were my student staples (treat food as jars were pricey). Really processed and unhealthy but every now and then I really fancy them even now 20 years on!

I am definitely more into savoury food than sweet so can't think of a single chocolate bar I miss.

illdoitlater · 26/01/2021 20:47

Heinz baked beans with vegetarian sausages, cartoonies and romantica. I'm sure there are loads more but these are the 3 I always miss!

Tangy Twiglets.

Tesco used to sell these boxes of tiny triangle crackers covered in a cheesy coating. Like the sort of cheesy coating you’d get with cheese Doritos or cheese Wotsits. I loved them. Can’t remember the brand name now though. It wasn’t a Tesco own brand.

And the lime flavoured Kettle Chips were great.

Thebookswereherfriends · 26/01/2021 20:54

I really miss toast toppers. We used to have them regularly when we were at my Dad’s. Really wish they would bring them back.

Muller Mississippi Mud Corner yoghurts

Iheartsheep · 26/01/2021 21:05

M&S used to do this packet mix of potato, onions and ham. My gran brought loads on holiday with us (her first trip abroad and clearly thought there was no shops) i think about them all the time but can't find anything similar
