Some discontinued stuff I would love to return:

1.) Ham and cheese mini Cheddars

2.) Jaffa cakes with the lime filling

3.) And most of all Birds hot crunch pudding (banana for preference)

Anything you really miss? Food that were part of your childhood....

Heinz sponge puddings in tins. I didn't realise they'd gone until I went to buy some for my pre-Brexit food stash (laugh away, but I could have fed the neighbourhood for a month when lockdown came along) and only found titchy single portion puddings in plastic domes.
Chunky Jack flapjacks. I used to get then from Goodness Direct. They had some great varieties. Then they just disappeared.

ZiggyZowie · 08/02/2024 21:02

Minneolas

I think they were a cross between an orange and a grapefruit,they were really juicy and sweet
