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..

Sterilised cream in tins. Wonderful stuff.

Ice magic brings me back!! 🍨
My grandma used to serve tongue. I ate it for years before making the link 🤢

Arctic roll was my absolute favourite

Highland Toffee in a foil boat that you could never extract it all from.

Jumbo Cod Fingers

Proper French Bread Pizza

BitzaPizza crisps (with holes !)

American Green Soda in big glass bottles

Mr Men Yoghurts

Drifter chocolate bars

Football crisps

Pic n Mix Salad bars in Asda, Morrisons etc

Good Times !!

Yes!! They tasted chocolatey and papery. Once you'd finished pretending to smoke with them...

Cadbury Snaps.

My all time favourite chocolate. I still pray they come back at some point.

Ice magic 😋 . The alternative I’ve found is not the same

I’ve never come across anyone else who remembers these! My mum regularly reminisces about them, but I was starting to believe they were a joint hallucination.

And fish and chip shaped/flavoured crisps in bags with newspaper print

Not a foodstuff that you buy but I was reminiscing the other day about Berni Inn's in the seventies. We used to go for a family meal there occasionally. It was all red decor, curtains etc and always dimly lit. There was a choice of about three or four mains and afterwards we would have like a black coffee in a wine glass with a layer of cream floating on the top ! It seemed so sophisticated fir us kids at the time ! Would love to visit a Berni Inn again !

Sarah Lee used to do a chocolate Danish dessert you cooked in the oven. My memory is probably inflating how glorious it tasted.

Has anyone mentioned the tins of vegetable salad from Heinz? I loved that and am gutted I can’t find it anymore - making my own never tastes the same!

Birdseye potato fritters! They were like little discs of mash coated in batter that you then put under the grill. If I could petition for any food to come back it would be them

Pineapple creams, from a bakery, little pastry tarts, with yellow icing and green sprinkles on top… anyone?

I got some of those a while ago in one of the cheapy shops (Ireland)

Creamola Foam!

@HelebethH

Royal Scot biscuits!!! Those were to die for!

I was also going to mention tinned cream. Nestle I think. Also Carnation tinned milk. Meat paste. Cling peaches (just tinned peaches so not sure what the cling bit meant). Heinz Russian salad in a tin. And tinned potato salad. I've just taken a trip around my Nana's larder 🤣

I used to love those miniature Hovis brown loaves that were bread roll sized.

The sunny d that turned you orange!🤣

YES, bring back the bloody stock concentrate bottles. What is wrong with people discontinuing those? Now I have packets of half opened gelatinous stock rattling around every time I just want a tiny bit more stock instead. One day they're going to join up together and form some kind of stock alien creature in my cupboard, and it'll be all Knorr's fault.

Coffee creams - like custard creams but with a delicious coffee-ish flavour.

Also: Kraft Singles - loved the taste.

Loved pineapple creams! They were a real treat in the 80s😀

Chelsea buns

Our butcher makes/sells wonderful brawn, haslet, gala pie etc.
Not sure why people think these massively common things have "disappeared"!
