Food you miss

[hazelnutpraline]

I really miss the Phileas Fogg snacks from around the 90s, particularly Punjab Puri and Mignon Morceaux… god they were good. Also Frisps if anyone remembers them. And NikNaks before they went dry and biscuity. Anyone else?

@Thatsplentyjack, omg I remember the frozen strawberry mousse! Haven’t thought about that for years. I wonder if anywhere still does something similar?

Cheesy Moments, Wickers prawn cocktail crisps, toffee and mallow eggs, Pacers, Spira bars.

Phileas Fogg Tortilla chips
Mini bagel bites (little bagel pizzas)
Cream eclairs, custard doughnuts, custard slices (vegan and gf now)

@BIWI, respect for the orginal Time Out development!

I miss Toast Toppers, too.
And Pizza Toast, which was my chosen replacement.
Munchies
Mintolas
Drifters
Proper hard Sports Mixtures
And Orange Ice Cream, which doesn't seem to exist any more

And 'Fools'. Raspberry Fool, Strawberry Fool, etc.

Cremola foam... a little tub of powder you made up into a foamy drink

And old English spangles ... always missed.

Pataks Oven bake Biryani Sauce
Meenas Jalfrezi curry sauce
Geetas Madras curry sauce
Mars Delights
Spiras
Cadbury’s Snowflakes
Aldis Blood Orange and Blackcurrant Cider

I’m so sad rn

Heinz toast toppers. The mushroom one was best, but I loved them all. Best snack of the1980s and 90s. My favourite.I was so sad when they discontinued them.

@TeethingBabyHelp these are the hello panda ones, b&m usually have them too

I want horlicks tablets back, and Heinz baked bean pizza to burn the roof of my mouth!

@TrevorFountain you can still get munchies! Asda have them

Punjab puri and spiras.

Leave the country for a couple of decades and it changed beyond recognition.

As PP mentioned, Spiras and Phileas Fogg items.

Plus coconut Boosts.

And: there used to be these crisps which were in the shape of pigs, 3D. I loved those. And Burton's Potato Puffs (10p!)

peanut M and Ms are on the go still too. I ate a packet last week

Yes, they're still around reddevil but the reason plumpy is missing them is because they aren't on the suitable for vegetarian list (like the Haribo which contain gelatin)
the M&M have colourings that may be animal derived .

Lord Toffingham ice creams

Actually, loads of ice creams that weren't Walls. There was another big brand - Lion's Maid was it?

Gino Ginelli rum & raisin ice cream.

Do you sense a threme here?

Mumbai Madness soup.

New Covent Garden Tuscan bean soup.

Gypsy creme biscuits. Cafe au lait biscuits.

Fruit corner yogurts - orchard fruits, kiwi and lime, pineapple.

Pork chops on the bone and sometimes with kidney too.

I also miss Crest toothpaste, Woodleigh green apple shampoo, Revlon Flex shampoo and conditioner, Benetton Colours perfume and all manner of lovely things that were discontinued.

@TeethingBabyHelp

Cartoonies. Nobody ever remembers them but they were little bags of biscuits; sort of glossy with a cartoon character on with chocolate in the middle

I'm pregnant and craving them BADLY. But you can't get them anymore. My body doesn't accept this and I think about them daily at the moment

I'm pretty sure my corner shop sells something similar 🤔

Cream cheese nik naks- the ones in the yellow packets

Birdseye fritters

@TeethingBabyHelp I recently got cartoonies in Aldi!

I REMEMBER THESE!! You can get very similar ones in b&m in boxes with little cartoon pandas on

Here's the pic I was trying to add

@reddevilunited I know but they are not vegetarian! Sweets are a minefield.
Even copies of M&Ms in Aldi, Lidl etc aren't vegetarian

It's a travesty for sure. I think about them often 😭😂

And: there used to be these crisps which were in the shape of pigs, 3D. I loved those

I'd completely forgotten about these they were delicious!

There used to be ready meals called Steam Cuisine which you put in the microwave. I miss those and also M & S until recently did a really nice small steak pie which has now been discontinued.

Timeouts that is. Quote fail!

Spiras and also fizzy jerks!
