Food you love but can't get any more

Let me lead with the Waitrose pecorino and back dip. They've discontinued it and I have no idea why. I have been whingeing about it for two years now why would you discontinue such a popular product ?

I am just hoping the pork and iberico chorizo sausage rolls, also from waitrose, don't go the same way. It's been ages since I've seen them on the shelves.

Not only is it lockdown with nowt eke to think about but for, but I'm on a calorie controlled diet atm trying to get back in my dinner clothes before the weather warns up! All I can think about is eating.

What foods do you miss? Have they been discontinued? Can you only get them in a location you can't access? Are you trying to lose the lockdown lbs? Please make me feel better about being an obsessive foodie by joining me!

Chocolate nesquik still in tesco but only the large tubs rather than the smaller ones which is a bit annoying

EineReiseDurchDieZeit the nostalgia is very strong but not sure I could justify $50+ import tax for two of them!

Cannot get broccoli and Stilton soup anywhere...it really is my favourite soup.

@RUOKHon

I can’t find chocolate Nesquik anywhere lately. Has it just vanished or is it a Brexit thing?
Our local one stop sells it !

Prawn cocktail wotsits

Not sure of the make but DM used to buy “ Breakfast Slices” but haven’t seen them for years. They remind me of camping holidays as a kid. Also Instant Whip. I was never a big fan of Angel Delight but butterscotch Instant Whip was to die for!

Malted milk creams (like custard creams but with malted milk biscuits). They were amazing.

longhaulstress · 28/03/2021 18:51

Aldi's Aberdeen Angus steak and red wine crisps. They were so unbelievably good and haven't seen them for a couple of years now.

Homepride Garlic & Herb Potato bake - I absolutely adored this Sad

SplendidSuns1000 · 28/03/2021 18:53

Morrisons did a gorgeous mushroom pate but I've never found it again (searched in 5/6 stores) I'm a good cook but even I can't make it the same

We’d need a large tub in this house Blush

Good to know it’s still around. Have only tried Waitrose and Aldi, might make a special trip to Tesco!

Lucozade melon, Ben & Jerry's cinnamon bun.

M&S chicken tikka sandwich . I will miss it forever

bringonyourwreckingball · 28/03/2021 18:59

Mignon morceaux and Sara Lee pecan danish. Would pay good money to have those again

Ready salted Chipsticks

I hate the salt and vinegar ones :(

Wolfcub · 28/03/2021 19:01

Mint Ferrero rocher with a purely liquid mint centre.

Yes to the Sainsbury's coffee mousse too
Gino gianelli mint choc chip ice cream

Basically everything ocado have stopped selling from independent sellers, particularly pie makers/butchers, since they ent over to the M&S dark side

Entemmans carrot cake

Monster munch in proper sizes not these tiny things you get now

I feel I've missed out on malted milk sandwich creams

Mutton for making soup

Ski orange yoghurt

RedcurrantPuff · 28/03/2021 19:07

Sainsbury’s extra fine dice frozen veg

Great for soup and pasta sauces.

EternalOptimist7 · 28/03/2021 19:07

Another vote for recipe changes - creme eggs aren’t as nice as they were. Also M & S prawn mayo sandwiches. They used to be my absolute favourite & were always really well filled. But for some reason they changed & ended up being a bit limp & with a lot fewer prawns. I don’t bother now.

EternalOptimist7 · 28/03/2021 19:08

I haven’t seen Ski pear or pineapple yogurt for years. Particularly loved the pear flavour.
