Discontinued foods you still think about

[bmrising]

Mine is McDonald's Breakfast Wrap & the Chicken Legend 🥲 still think about those a lot!

Isn't that a Spira?

McCain Pizza Rollas

Sainsbury’s cream cheese with horseradish was bloody lush!
Also old English spangles.

Mcdonalds used to do a steak and cheese wrap that was delicious but short lived.

Marble chocolate bars, I loved them so much!

M&S Fondant Fancies when they were made just for them. I think there were only 6 in a box, pink or yellow icing and the most delicious buttery cream on top. They were absolutely delicious. Replaced a few years ago by nasty little morsels that look exactly like Mr Kipling’s. Very sad about that.

And Texan Bars….I loved those. Giving my age away a bit there!

@Poppydieu you can still get Cranks wholemeal bread from some Waitrose branches. My very old Father loves it, and I bring it up from London to the north when I visit. But I also know where you can sometimes get it in the Midlands if you are there. My Mother says it's like Discworld battle bread (Pratchett fans will get that!).

The original M&S Percy Pigs, when they still contained pig - absolutely ruined since it's all gone vegan. I posted on AIBU about it years ago & was roundly told I was being unreasonable apparently
In fact lots of sweets have been ruined by removing the gelatine - such a shame. RIP Fruit Gums.
Original Cadbury TimeOuts - the current ones are crap.
Spira's & Secrets too.
Sainsbury's did a fab Jumbalya jar sauce about 10 years ago which was so good - not authenticate at all but still so easy & tasty.
Frozen tubs of chocolate mousse.
Sara Lee chocolate gateaux - actually ate a vegan chocolate cake this year that tasted almost exactly the same!
Original Vienetta when there was significantly more chocolate in it, proper sheets & ripples.
Refreshers - wtf happened to them? Now they just taste of tasteless sherbet.
Walkers Sensations Caramelised Onion & Balsamic Vinegar crisps - they could shred the roof of your mouth but where so good - then they reformulated them & they aren't the same, the balance is completely off.
Cadbury chocolate - the addition of Shea Butter was the final death knell for me.
Back in the 90s, Safeway I think, did a lovely Mediterranean Roast Vegetable Plait which was so good.

@curliegirlie Nooo.... completely different! Spira's we're just chocolate in a spiral form; whereas TimeOuts were half a flake sandwiched between wafer & covered in chocolate.

Squeez orange juice from a can that you had to dilute. It was amazing.

Oh I am reading back now and Ricicles were my absolute favourite. No idea why they went. And the McRIb yum. Also pyramint.

Not sure if jamaican ginger cake has been discontinued but it cannot be gotten in any of my local stores since covid hit.

Those tinned Heinz steamed chocolate puddings.. had them as a child for a ‘posh’ pudding on a Sunday!

Flyte bars - they were like a double milky way for adults.

Yoplait yoghurts that were 'still' i cannot think of the word. Not a mousse but a heavy non liquidy yoghurt. It will come to me.

Jersey creams.

Years and years ago Asda used to do a chocolate that had rice crispies in, it was so nice I still remember it 🥲 although never been able to find any evidence that it ever existed since!

Thorntons dark chocolate ginger bars. All you can get now are lumps of glacé ginger covered in chocolate, but these had a lovely ganache centre and a knobbly outside

I loved the golden syrup one in tins.

Nibb its Wheelz. (these were puffed potato like things , we always had them in the pub when waiting around for parents)

Oh yes….Pyramint…loved those.

I hadn’t realised that it was making things vegan that had changed them so much. I was given Jelly Tots recently…..used to absolutely love them….they were rubbish and I was so disappointed. At least now I know why!

A marks and Spencer cauliflower bowl with tofu, pomegranate and lots of other stuff, so good. Also something called crown pilot crackers, I would love to have a box to dig into again.

M&S used to do a delicious pack of rice and veg cutlets, sorely missed. And their roast vegetable sandwich.

Flapjacks from Superdrug
My mum used to always buy them for us when we went into town in the 90's. The cherry and coconut one was soo good. I don't think I've ever found anything similar.

Thank you for reminding me about Pyramint - delicious!

Also a shout-out to the OG of pre-packed sandwiches - the M&S chicken tikka with the raita dressing. Sadly missed.

Ross's Potato crunchies
Sainsbo's Prawn and coriander spring rolls
Sainsbo's chicken makhani
M+S caramel cake
Cabana bars (bounty with caramel and glace cherries in)
And am struggling to get Britvic 55 atm

Homepride chicken in peppercorn sauce. I have no idea why they discontinued it!

I don't think Jelly Tots ever contained gelatine. Fruit Pastilles and many others did, but not Jelly Tots.
