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....

I nearly forgot heinz syrup sponge in a tin, loved all the other flavours too

Does that not still exist? I never look for it as I would be certain to eat the whole lot, and that wouldn't do. It was lovely!!

Dark chocolate Mars bars - they were a temporary thing - the nougat stuff was white.

Just remembered the name of the chewing gum, it was called Freshen Up.

I miss pacers,

Frys 5 Centre

Drifters

Flyte bar, tasted like original milky way.

Milky Way (original), the current one is vile.

Birds eye fritters

Bids eye Ketchups

Jus rol potato croquettes

Irn bru recipe from the 80s

Cadbury caramel when it was shiny chocolate and caramel was runny, like it was in the 80s advert with the squirrel. In fact all Cadbury to go back to 80s recipe.

Applause bars were nice

Dies anyone remember the tins of tip top they used to have poured over their jelly. I hated the stuff, completely ruined it?

reesewithoutaspoon · 08/02/2024 21:10

there was a post about toast toppers a few years back, giving a homemade recipe for the cheese and ham version.

reesewithoutaspoon · 08/02/2024 21:13

Old English Spangles, Detective Cheroots, an ice cream that Bejam sold that was yellow vanilla but had tiny chocolate crumbs mixed in, nothing like the Cadbury flake one available today.

Pink Panther chocolate bars, Bar 6, a single large biscuit that had wavy edges, chocolate on one side and possibly a shortbread which was imprinted with words and sprinkled in sugar and wrapped in cellophane, possibly called a Cheshunt biscuit?

Minii Hovis loaves that were rolls.

I think the biscuits were called Dundee biscuits, stacked 4 or 5 in a pack.

Frisps

You can still get frisps. I work in a school and dc sometimes have them in the playground- assuming from the shops available locally they are bought from Lidl or b&m.

Have seen drifters come up - those were amazing.

The thing I miss the most is that you could get big pots of the yogurt that comes with a muller fruit corner. It had a navy blue label and was called thick and creamy. Soo nice. Don't even think the corner yogurt is the same now but you can't get pots of it

reesewithoutaspoon · 08/02/2024 21:18

Birds eye chocolate lovely.

Good Life nut burgers - best.veggie.burger.ever.
Also non-rotten potatoes.

McDonald's old veggie burgers were good and Burger King spicy bean burgers were amazing. I'm not even vegetarian but would often have them. Now it's just fake meat!

They brought original opal fruits back a couple of years ago, but they were brick hard to chew. Definitely not as hard as that years ago

frazzle66 · 08/02/2024 21:27

Oh and drifters
