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 😂

Nunch if you were in Ireland, I think they were Star Bars here.

@megletthesecond you mentioned M&S goats cheese tartlets with caramelised onions thanks, I will be sad all day. 😀

They were a thing of beauty.

Brannigans, Roast beef and mustard crips
Ice magic the chocolate sauce stuff you poured on ice cream in the 80,s and it hardened.

Cauldron used to do an amazing chickpea and red pepper vegetarian pate which I adored (I’m a vegetarian). It just disappeared about 10 years ago. So unjust! I tried to recreate it myself but just couldn’t get it right.

Ditto Quorn peppered beef slices. Hate all other Quorn products but that was so good! Just why did they stop it!

There was also a box of Moroccan tea bags that Lipton did (little triangular silky bags - cinnamon and mint) which was my all time favourite tea, and I used to drink by the gallon and again they just stopped it! Never found any other tea like that.

Phileas Fogg"s Mignon Morceaux. There have been some who have tried, but nothing since has properly replicated them.

Does anybody remember Cadburys Pops?
They were in a purple box smaller than maltezers and tasted like the crispy M&M's?
Haven't seen them since probably late 90's and can't find any mention online but I know they existed!

We had the tear and share last week from Aldi, they sell out a lot but it hasn't been discontinued.

Really? I haven't seen them in my local one for years. This is why I love threads like these, I'll have to go on a quest around all the aldi's in the city 😁

Packet Lincoln Thick Pea Soup ☹️

GigiAnnna · 20/08/2023 11:33

The old Greggs vegetable pasties before they changed them. They were stodgy, spicy and delicious and changed them to a gross cheese sauce based one that smelt like sick. Don't think they do either now though. I worked there as a teen and the quality used to be so much better than it is now.

MinnieTruck · 20/08/2023 11:33

Walkers crisps the bbq flavour. I still buy them via American candy websites but it’s not the same as going to a shop and paying 50p for them!

Knorr used to make a packet soup, Austrian herb or something similar. I've craved it for over a decade!
Nuts about Caramel, too.
