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

Magnum did a limited edition deadly sins ice cream collection. The gluttony one was so good! Gutted they didn't keep it.

Loads of things I didn't see for years but have come back - tangy toms, BN BN biscuits

Sun lollies. I know they do similar ones now but they aren't as good.

😮 thank you, I will be looking next time I go. I always see the Chow Mein ones but never the others.

Mint feast

Or not if your mother wanted to pass them off as ice cream

@MintyGreenDreams The old thinner chipsticks were lovely but an over-seasoned salt & vinegar packet could strip the roof of your mouth!

Splendips, even though I wouldn’t be able to eat them anymore!

Lee & Perrins sprinkle & spice. Loved it on chips

Cheese Snaps! Gone since the 90s though the frankly underwhelming Spicy Tomato flavour held on a bit longer.

Sweet peanuts. Hard, crunchy, salty and with peanuts in the middle. The ones you buy now are just shaped like peanuts and taste of poo.
I'll never get the same childhood joy of cutting my tongue and making it bleed when I eat one.

Someone bought the rights and now makes it again. Think they are Scottish (where else?) You can buy it on Amazon at stupid prices. I have not tried it, I think my teeth would walk out in protest these days 😁

Pacers sweets, Quattro fizzy drink and Birds Hot Crunch Puddings. Also Vesta Paella. Nomnomnom...

The Wonka chocolate bars with the crackling candy inside! Was gutted when they disappeared.

Also a yoghurt from the 90s when I was a kid which had a little plastic lid filled with hundreds and thousands to pour into the yoghurt.

Yes deltas they were lovely.

And Lyons Maid Favourite Centres ice lollies, especially the mint crisp one.

Kellogg’s hot oat krumbly…. Hated all cereal but LOVED this

Taz bars

I loved these! My 'posh' neighbours used to serve the cheese wafer cylinder things as nibbles when they invited people round for drinks in the 80s. I thought they were the height of sophistication. Sadly I have not been able to find anything remotely similar since. I also remember cheese/sour cream and chive dips that came in a sachet as a powder that you whisked with milk. I'm sure the fresh chilled dips that are sold in supermarkets now are far better quality but I often crave the 80s version.

Fiendish feet yoghurts (particularly the banana one!)
Cadbury’s Spira bars
the mixed flavour packs of Rollos

M&S sausage rolls with tomatoes.

Crispy cod bites. There was just something about the way they did the batter that was yummy.

Phileas Fogg snacks, especially 'Punjab Puri' and 'Mignons Morceaux'

'Smax' (biscuity snacks similar to 'Fish'n'Chips' but in a lovely indefinable flavour that was described as bacon but wasn't really).

When we were students we used to stick a Taz bar with banana in a Breville toastie.

I came here to lament the loss of Toast Topper but I see I'm late to the party there!

God, I miss it. The chicken and mushroom one was the cat's pyjamas.

Weekend box , I'd forgotten about them but I could taste them now!
Cadburys Contrast
Vesta Paella , height of exoticism
Going to the sweet shop - in general , not a supermarket to buy sweets
Choosing which variety of toffees you wanted , Badgers or Dairy Maid
If you hadn't got enough money for a quarter you could buy 2oz
Coconut mushrooms

Aztec bars! I really loved these but they stopped production years ago.

Proper toast toppers that don’t taste of baby bland.

Bitza Pizza crisps - food of the gods.

Pig crisps.

Jumbo cod fingers.

Highland toffee in those silver foils.

French bread pizza when they still tasted nice.
