Old foods that you loved that no longer exist.

[Soubriquet]

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

Symingtons Table Cream.

Very, very sad about that one.

100% the same for me

My husband would say old style Cheeselets. He's never quite forgiven them for changing it to a healthier? version. I can't even remember what the old ones were like now.

Cox's Orange Pippins are the ones to look for - they taste of proper apples.

Cadbury's cream eggs without the palm oil

Anything without palm oil.

Club biscuits when they had a wider range, especially the dark chocolate one with a green wrapper and picture of a golf ball

The hazelnut cracknell and peanut cracknell Quality Street.

How very DARE they discontinue the sweets of the gods.

I think about them so much at this time of year. Mind you, Quality Street doesn't taste the same now and Roses are properly grim too. Is it the palm oil?

The hot chocolate one was lush.

Phileas Fogg snacks - the original ones with the little garlic bread and puris. I want them back :(

I found the Aldi dissolving vitamin c in the berry flavour tastes just like it! Kinda. If you use your imagination 😂

I remember those, and miss them too. I think the supermarkets own brands ones were just called potato triangles or something. They were really nice, and were good for dips as well.

Amazin' Raisin Bars, Texan bars, Cabanna bars and mint cracknell. Any fizzy drinks without sweetener in them

Toast Toppers here, too!

And the Fabulous Baker Boys range of cakes, all of them. So moist and were nut free so my DS could eat them.

Ryvita - yes , I know it’s still available but it bears no resemblance to the original 1970/ 80 s one. That tasted of rye, it stayed crisp, it was oddly ‘healthy’ looking and tasting; now Ryvita makes recycled cardboard look appetising.

I've just donated the last of the last packet I shall ever buy to the birds, and they aren’t showing much interest.

Heinz vegetable salad

Cheese Findus pancakes

I was just coming back to say these! Mignons Morceaux were the garlic ones 😋

I wonder if anyone would remember these kids yoghurts.

They were strawberry flavoured and came in the shape of a flying saucer. In the middle was a toy.

There was a dessert called Romantica. Was absolutely divine.

Supermousse.

Findus French Bread Pizza

Which were originally Walter's Potato Puffs.
Best crispy snack in the world ever.
I liked the plain ones best.

Greggs Egg custard tarts.
When they reduced the menu due to covid, they never brought them back 😪

I've tried egg custards from everywhere else, even local bakeries and none compare.

Eiffel Tower lemonade crystals sold in an embossed glass tube (like a toilet roll inner) You mixed them up with hot water then allowed to cool. Absolutely delicious
Breakfast biscuits good with cheese. Sold loose from a big biscuit tin. I thought I'd dreamed them up, until I saw an image on a jigsaw puzzle.
Vesta ready meals - chow mein with real crispy noodles - student exotica in the 60s
Kunzel cakes - a lovely cake case made of chocolate and filled with flavoured sickly mousses and bits of cake sponge. There was a campaign to reintroduce them in the 70's and I believe Waitrose did them for a while but really they were too sickly for our modern tastes.
Lucky numbers chocolate selection - sold loose, as indeed were Quality street
Spangles
Frys 5 centre - loved them. Mint is OK though
Black magic with a real variety of centres - coffee creme, montilmar, butterscotch, hazel nut cluster,
Matinee mixture - made from a marzipan type product. Pastel shades and many fancy shapes. Again bought loose by the ounze/quarter.

I'm hoping someone will pop up to say they still exist and you can buy them at 'x' but it's Boasters biscuits for me - I think about them far more than I reasonable should given I've not had one in more than 10 years.

Milky Way crispy rolls as well.
