I was remembering back when I was kid, my Nan would pick us up from school, and take us back to her house where we would have a small tea.

One thing we loved was tidgy puds and gravy. I was gutted when they stopped doing tidgy puds

Creamola foam is still available think it's made by a Scottish company . I've bought in some sweet shops or online . It's great with Vodka , I can highly recommend .😂

Really??? I had a look but all I found was an article about a can selling for £300... Is it still called creamola foam?

Those Heinz puddings in a tin that you had to warm up in boiling water. They were so nice. Also Vesta Beef Curry

Cadbury-Snow flake bar, and Milky Bar Chews. Managed to find some online and they don't taste the same!
Also Aero bubbly was white chocolate inside,
Isn't same as the one they've recently brought out.

Greggs flake cakes and iced ring doughnuts 😭.
Mine are all sugary things but I loved them.

Nestlé sterilised cream in a tin.

You can still get that! I have it when I'm doing laser carb and camping 😊😊😊

Worcester sauce twiglets. The crumbs at the end were amazing

bizzywiththefizzy · 14/12/2022 15:07

@Merrow Yes you can buy it on several online sweet shops .

PepsiMaxAholic · 14/12/2022 15:07

Coffee biscuits that had coffee flavour icing on them. There is another brand still making them but they taste very different.

You don't mean McVities Cafe Noir do you? - they've been going for years and you can still get them

StaceySolomonSwash · 14/12/2022 15:08

Rancheros. A bacon flavour crispy snack. Remember them from the 70s buying them from the school tuck shop.

Which I've just googled and found they're available in Ireland! 😊

rubydoobydoo · 14/12/2022 15:09

Sweet and Sour flavour Supernoodles - the best hangover cure ever.

Roundas - crispbake type things in breadcrumbs with sausage meat and baked beans in.

Tiredandtested2 · 14/12/2022 15:09

Secret bars (still remember the flavour)
flake selections
snowflakes
spiral bars
the thunder at crisps I used to buy from the school tuck shop has a kid.

Tiredandtested2 · 14/12/2022 15:09

Should say thundercat crisps

PolkaDotMankini · 14/12/2022 15:10

Sweet chilli flavour Thai Bites. The other brands are Not The Same.

TheGriffle · 14/12/2022 15:10

Burtons potato puffs crisps. All flavours were divine. They are the only foodstuffs I pine for from my childhood.

KateBalesCardi · 14/12/2022 15:10

Rowntree's Nutty bars and Vesta beef risotto 😢

Iamnotausername · 14/12/2022 15:10

Peartiser. Like Appletiser but with pears instead of apples.
I still glance at the appetiser shelf when I go past in the hopes that Schwepps realise the errors of their ways.

Iamnotausername · 14/12/2022 15:11

Marathons. I know they are Snickers but Marathons used to have proper big peanuts on top that stopped when they changed the name.

Jemimapuddleduk · 14/12/2022 15:11

Cheese moments, spam fritters, longley farm toffee yogurt, longley farm fromage frais, hedgehog crisps, mint crème eggs, pacers mints, little mousse pots that you got out of the freezer, neopolitan chocolates at Christmas, coffee walnut whips, tomato ketchup seabrook crisps.

Jemimapuddleduk · 14/12/2022 15:12

Frozen supermousse (you defrosted them before you ate them)

Yes! I can still taste the strawberry one, so good Sad
