M&S cheese and celery sandwich. I have never managed to recreate it perfectly.

ShoesoftheWorld · 23/10/2023 07:14

Heinz used to do baked beans with little vegetarian sausages in. Haven't seen those for years and years (don't live in the UK, but look every time I go).

Actually, vegetarian sausages that contain actual vegetables as opposed to being made of fake meat seem to be dying out.

Lord Toffingham caramel ice cream lolly

A Ginster’s pasty with squishy, tomato-ey bits of veg and pasta inside. Pasta in a pasty, ultimate double carb delight 😋

My most recent (and upsetting) one is M&S Bang Bang dip.

I'd only just discovered it and feel like I didn't have enough time with it in my life.

Another one - circa 10 years ago - are M&S chicken escalopes.

I have a non food one too. Vaseline used to do the best ever deodorant (cotton something or another) and this stopped about 15 years ago. I actually cannot find anything to support it ever existed but I'm sure I didn't imagine it.

I also haven't seen Fox's classic original biscuits bars for years (the ones in the blue pack)

@meatbaseddessert Tootie Frooties still exist? Where?!

Raindancer411 · 23/10/2023 07:22

Fruit polos
Fruit flavoured fry's creams (where it has the 5 different flavours in)
Spira, starts, secret... oh so many I miss that I had forgotten about...

slavetothekittens · 23/10/2023 07:22

Potato puffs
Taboo and Mirage
Boots own raspberry glucose drink ( shows age!)

BlackJumpsuit · 23/10/2023 07:25

This is the packaging of my childhood. Fondly remembered, along with Glees, Spangles and those Pink Panther bars.

One of my earliest memories (2?) is half inching a packet of Tooty Frooties from a shelf in a shop-I actually didn't know what I was doing was wrong until the heinous crime was discovered later in the car by my siblings 😂

I am a stuck record on these threads, but I make no apology for that.
Phileas Fogg's Mignon Morceaux.

I came on to say these too. So good. Probably not eaten them since the early 90s.

Sunpat cheese spread
Findus crisply pancakes
Galaxy swirls
Harvest choc chip cereal bars

I'm sure I saw those yoghurts were coming back.

Mint Echo biscuit

Sunbird24 · 23/10/2023 07:34

McDonalds mild mustard sauce. Used to always have that to dip my fries in back in the days when I could use my NUS card to get either a free cheeseburger or a free ice-cream…

lollipoprainbow · 23/10/2023 07:36

M and S redcurrant cheesecake

lollipoprainbow · 23/10/2023 07:36

Aztec - A Mars Bar copy from Cadbury but much much better.
Bounty Dark Chocolate - Recently withdrawn but I miss them already 😩

WHAT?? I’m heartbroken, I’ll never be able to sufficiently cure a hangover again without a Dark Chocolate Bounty 😞
Secret bars and Hot Lemon Crunch which have already been mentioned.
Boomy ice lollies, with the individual strawberry, lemon and orange. The texture of the lolly was so velvety.
M and S used to do a lovely soft cheese, prawn and smoked salmon sandwich filler - I’ve tried to recreate it but it’s just not the same.

Birds Eye Chocolate Lovely and Cabana bars

Thank you! I remember the chocolate lovely from my childhood but could never remember who made them so was unable to google them. They were the best!

Universalsnail · 23/10/2023 07:50

marble bars

reallyworriedjobhunter · 23/10/2023 07:57

Ice Magic chocolate sauce that sets hard on ice cream. I've tried the modern equivalents but they are just not the same.

Always about the toast toppers

The pizza flavour toast toppers!!! I miss that 1. I think pizza was limited edition

Neverendinghousework · 23/10/2023 08:03

M&S caramel cake, sold mid-late 90s, a caramel sponge with caramel buttercream, covered in a caramel coating (like caramac). I’m dribbling just thinking about it 🤤

Loubelle70 · 23/10/2023 08:03

Cheese flavour walkers crisps (early 90s)

DilemmaDelilah · 23/10/2023 08:06

@Peepshowcreepshow definitely Phileas Fogg Mignons Morceaux!
Fry's used to make a very dark and sticky chocolate spread which I loved
My grandmother used to buy honey cream biscuits, which were like Jammie dodgers but oval and had a creamy layer and a sticky honey flavoured layer. Delicious!
Cremola - not creamola foam. it was li!e a cross between custard and semolina, used to love that.
@vipersnest1 Asda do beef potato sticks that are very nice - not sure if they are similar to the M&S ones?

Start cereal.
Prawn and egg mayo sub rolls M&S.

I remember those sub rolls, so delicious. I used to alternate between those and the tuna pasta salad.

I'm still deeply in mourning for Topics, I'm at the disbelief stage. Why would they discontinue such an iconic bar?

Tooty Frooties. Why God? Why?
