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?

Tesco smoky hummus - I loved that stuff. I have tried other brands that say they are smoky, but they all seem to be very spicy too.

Nazirs curry paste. Discovered in Manchester but made many a favourable impression with curries in London a few years later.

Heinz toast toppers! Especially the amazing cheese and ham

MinnieJackson · 28/01/2021 03:46

Definitely marble bars
Sainsburys used to do crisps called potato triangles that I loved.
Kfc did a thing of popcorn chicken that you put a sachet of dry bbq powder in and shook.

My mum also used to get apricot slimming world bars and they were my fave.

Drifter bars

Fry's five centre chocolate. Basically similar to the Fry's chocolate bars still available but five different flavours in one bar. Including lime.

Milk tray bar. Milk tray chocolates fused together into a bar. Only if it could taste like original Cadbury chocolate though not the oily muck it is today.

Duggeehugs82 · 28/01/2021 07:44

Secrets chocolate bar i loved that!

Yankietart · 28/01/2021 08:55

I remember chocolate covered honeycomb bars in different flavours I remember strawberry and mint.

Magissa · 28/01/2021 09:34

@Yankietart Yes! I vaguely remember a green mint flavour honeycomb.

Pret's original tiny loaf cakes in lemon etc. Delicious.

When Pret first started they used to do a few really nice sandwiches which they changed which was one reason I didn't return to them.

EAT - they made the most lovely meat pies with gravy and mash - great work comfort food. Why did they close?!

Caffe Nero did a nice chocolate and pistachio (I think) cake (square) approx 3-4 years ago - gone now.

EAT closed, because it was taken over by Pret, they dissolved the brand and put Prets in their place.

littlepeaegg · 28/01/2021 09:55

Not sure if someone had said Cadbury's Snowflake 🥲🥲 god I loved them

littlepeaegg · 28/01/2021 09:57

Entermanns raspberry danish cake

jingscrivvens · 28/01/2021 12:41

Haliborange you can get heinz cream of tomato soup with a kick of chilli, not sure if it's the same but it tastes pretty good!

I miss the frozen wotsits that were like cheesy potato croquettes, the coating was bright orange! And Ice Magic and Secrets.

Justonedayatatime11 · 28/01/2021 14:06

I stand by what I said about this being a bad thread! Amazingly, none of this has palm oil in either

Proper cheesecake with sultanas. My dm made some once and it was lovely.

Unfortunately I ate more than my share so she smashed the rest into my face.

cardoon · 28/01/2021 19:14

@Justonedayatatime11 can you tell us where you got that lovely haul from?
