Or just can't get for whatever reason.

Currently really fancying the ww chicken & wedges, it was in a nice tomato sauce but I also really miss the slimming world tomato and bean soup that came in a pouch.

I realise these are both diet foods and tomato based, maybe I should just go and make a tomato salad 😂

Also, Blue Raspberry Panda Pop
Milky Way Crispy Rolls - not discontinued but a nightmare to get near me
Mars Delight
Baking boys cupcakes
Worcestershire Sauce Walkers

In fact just sugar, all the real sugar in drinks and cereals. Now everything is no sugar and its shit!

Omg baking boys cupcakes... I am craving one now!!

I don't think they are discontinued but I really miss Brannigan's beef and mustard crisps. Never see them anywhere.

Opal fruits… when the lemon and lime were two separate flavours…. Before they became star burst and blackcurrant appeared.

Blackcurrant is inferior

Beanfeast bolognese. Every few months I email Batchelors to plead with them to bring it back but they refuse.

Definitely this

Heinz Mustard pickle. Disappeared during covid and a staple for summer bbq for burgers and sausages. M&S do something similar but not a patch on Heinz's Mustard pickle

Heinz Cream of Celery soup

We had an electric ring in the sixth form common room and I used to heat that up for lunch. Also the Heinz lentil, which is still around but has changed in taste a bit.

Loved this soup. Also Baxters did a celery and Stilton soup. Food of the gods no longer available.
I remember proper celery. It was white and not the green stuff we get nowadays due to not being left in the ground long enough. Read this in Delia Smiths cookery course.

Burger King Mushroom Double Swiss.

Potato triangle crisps. Most supermarkets did them in their ‘own range’ or big bag snacks, along with things like potato chipsticks and cheese puffs etc. Marks called them Deltas. Loved those bloody things!

I bloody loved a Delta!

Hula Hoop frozen chips.

I thought I was the only one to miss McDonalds root beer and cinnamon doughnuts. They don’t even do root beer in the States now 😢.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 21/08/2023 11:28

I wish M&S et al would see these threads and get these foods back...

Crikeyalmighty · 21/08/2023 11:59

@MissBridgetJones I can't understand M&S on that one- the demand is huge!!! Maybe we should do a mumsnet bring back deltas campaign

MissBridgetJones · 21/08/2023 12:02

@Crikeyalmighty I'm in!

Blossomandbee · 21/08/2023 12:32

Cheese moments
Ribena and Lucozade before they wrecked them with artificial sweeteners
A Cadbury Dairy Milk bar I had in the 90's that was bottom half milk chocolate and top half white chocolate. I can't remember what it was called or find any trace of it online but they only made it for a short while.

Marks and Spencer rice and mushroom salad. This was discontinued years ago. When I queried what had happened to it after not seeing it in store for several weeks,the assistant denied that they'd ever sold it!
Ross potato pancakes. Again discontinued years ago. A bit like a hash brown but in a small pancake shape. I used to love them with cheese melted on the top with a poached or fried egg.

Mine is the Cadbury secrets bars. I love them. We have topics, chewits all sorts from this list in the shops here in the South West

Blossomandbee · 21/08/2023 17:55

@sueelleker yes! Thank you 🙏

Oh yes, Topic (a hazelnut in every bite)

St Ivel Gold - nostalgia more than taste

A chocolate covered praline elephant wrapped in white/red plastic - might have been Côte d'Or. They used to be everywhere.

Mint crisp ice Lollies
mr men ice lollies
cider ice lollies
and there was one that was half mint and half chocolate…can’t remember it’s name.
proper limeade that actually tastes of something
Tizer ( not the new rubbish one)
panda pops

You can still get cider ice lollies, I'm eating one at the moment
Got them in Asda but pretty sure most supermarkets sell them

CutiePatooties · 21/08/2023 19:18

On the theme of diet food, ww desserts were fantastic! Don’t know why they discontinued these 😩
