Foods you remember that seem to have dropped out of existence.

Or no one ever talks about them anymore.

I will offer chocolate covered cornflakes, which used to be in high street baker's windows every eater with confectionary eggs atop. A staple home economics recipe, I recall running home from school with a large tin, convinced that I was going to blow everyone's mind with my culinary genius.

And Spam. Like 'corned beef', but the pork version, also in a tin. That curious shape, reminded me of feeding the cat. My DH watches a lot of wild camping/van man stuff in Japan on youtube and it seems to be having a resurgence..

That tuna melt sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten.

So many memories!

We used to go to the Berni Inn opposite the Free Trade Hall in Manchester before concerts there. Happy days!

I remember eating that fizzy popping stuff called either space dust or moon dust in class with my friend. The teacher asked her a question, she opened her mouth and there was just a load of fizzing and popping. We used to have those sugar cigarettes and pretend to smoke them. Didn't they have a red/pink dot on one end?

I remember Neapolitan chocolates and ice cream too. My grandma always gave us the ice cream if we had our tea there. She would also buy Um bongo and Lilt for us and my grandpa who had a very sweet tooth.

To whoever it was who mentioned sorbets, Lidl's are excellent. They don't always have them in across the winter & early spring but they are back now.

Finally, we are going to visit our best man who lives abroad shortly. He is desperate for some Heinz tinned steamed puddings. Could someone please tell me if you can buy them in places like B&M. I would really appreciate it.

You can't buy Heinz tinned puddings anymore.

But you can get Popping Candy / Space dust

Ah, okay. Same coloured tin.

as an aside, my auntie boiled one many years ago and forgot to puncture the tin. Exploded all over the kitchen. Some was still on the ceiling a good ten years later 🤣

Butter flavour Ready Brek

Carmelle caramel pudding. They came in a packet, you mixed the powder with milk to make a vanilla type blancmange, then poured the caramel syrup on when it was set.
My mum didn’t really do puddings (Granda was diabetic) so this was a rare treat.

Also, Tivall vegetarian kievs. DH preferred these to any other brands but you can’t seem to get them any more.

Campino - hard boiled sweets in a red and white swirl.

I still make this! Known in our house as goldfish pie. You can mix in the evaporated milk with part of the melted jelly and juice for a creamy orange layer. Sounds horrible - isn't.

mr men yogurts. What I wouldn’t do for a Mr Bump’s chocolate yoghurt. Also loved mr messy’s raspberry yoghurt.

I can also no longer find banana yoghurt, which I love.

the stuffed marrows are bringing back bad memories - I swear my mother used to make it as a silent protest against having to do all the cooking and housework.

Findus Cheese and tomato lasagne . Divine and very missed

That reminds me - Tesco used to do a tex mex lasagne that was very good.

They sell brandy snaps and hastet in our local asda

Oh, yes. These were lovely!

Fiendish feet yoghurts! 

Rowntree's Cabana, the best thing there ever was.

Izal toilet roll and pink carbolic soap.
