Discontinued foods you still think about

[bmrising]

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

Symington maple & walnut table creams - a m&w blancmange, basically. It was gorgeous and my grandparents always had it for us when we stayed.

This thread makes regular appearances, why on earth have manufacturers not taken notice?!

Bring back Texan bars!

And passion fruit Bodyshop face wash! (Smells good enough to eat)

Ham & Cheese Toast Toppers can be bought online apparently

I miss:
• The first vegan prepackaged sandwich to be widely available in the UK outside health food shops - hummus, grated carrot, & I think cress (certainly greenery of that sort) on really nice granary bread.
• Sacla mushroom risotto - absolutely delicious & took no time at all 💔
• When I was a toddler M&S did bear-shaped biscuits with icing like that on party-rings. The bears were, to my toddler self, ENORMOUS (or, at least, about 3 party rings tall & .75 party-rings wide at the narrowest points rising to a width of about 1.5 party-rings across the middle - the bears were standing up, like gingerbread men, but made of deliciousness & icing not allergen & itching). The icing was similar to modern party-rings in hue, too, rather than the lurid artificial shades of bygone times.
• Technically they’re not gone, but effectively they are: I really miss having [easy] access to Tofutti Cuties in the UK. I think some Kosher supermarkets [sometimes] stock them; but as I’m almost housebound a considerable distance from my closest one & not only do I not keep Kosher my family converted several generations ago so if I could manage to get hold of some I’d feel like I was stealing them from Jewish children… 🫣😵‍💫🥺😢

@Moominprincess
Flying saucer sweets with white sherbet in instead of the awful fruit flavoured sherbet they replaced them with.
[Mercifully] I don’t think I’ve ever had ones with fruit-flavoured sherbet in 🤢 I usually get Sainsbury’s own-brand ones 😊

@ShoesoftheWorld
They’ve given them a makeover - unlike the new vegan cream of tomato soup I think it’s a cosmetic/label change rather than a content change, but I may be wrong.

@MaggieMayNotBe

I remember the Mister Men yoghurts from when I could still eat some dairy (I’ve now an anaphylactic allergy to even trace amounts). I liked the chocolate one best of all - Mr Uppity.

Golden Graham's cereal and the old haribos. I've just had a pack of starmix and they are crap.

Were those a box of 6 in orange, lemon and chocolate flavours, in a silver cake case?

Mr.Kipling strawberry sundae tarts. I miss them so much, best cakes ever.

Another vote for Brannigan’s crisp

M&S yogurt gums

Soda Folk root beer without Stevia

Cadburys Chunky (only out at Christmas)

Galaxy Caramel Swirls

@Togekiss Lidl do their own version of Snaps

Oh, I just thought of another; Danepak bacon grills.

Echo bars and The Fabulous Bakin' Boys cupcakes 🤤

There you are. Was just reading through to see if someone had said this.

Cadburys Icebreaker bars.
Can't seem to find Classic biscuits anymore.

I used to love the Bovril crisps, so much better than beef ones.

What is it with Marks and Spencer discontinuing everything I love? There is a very long list from me: onion and apple chips, red curry chips, cookie ice cream and cinnamon and pecan peanut butter to name a few. I am now convinced M&S hates me.

Red coconut 🥥 boosts 😋

Realising that others have been ill treated by Marks and Spencers. Why do they keep discontinuing things things we like???

I remember eating something which was like a hot semolina pudding base and a flavoured topping thing in the 1990's. Can't remember what it was called. Also Spira, Drifter dark chocolate Bounty bars, fruit polos

Also think it was Golden Wonder low fat.crisps were lovely and m & s baked potato and butter flavour crisps

Vice versas

Cadburys Icebreaker bars.

Used to love these!

Tubes (crisps)

@TooFondOfBooks - at least they still exist (though I tend to be disappointed by any ersatz meat products called 'plant-based' - no idea why, it's probably the same stuff as in days of yore).

I hate M&S too. I absolutely must have a Wensleydale and carrot chutney sandwich when I go back to the UK, and although they do still do them, they're getting harder and harder to find.
