Food you don’t often see anymore

[BigJanette]

What dishes did you used to eat, but don’t really see around anymore?

I’ve just remembered a M&S ready meal I ate quite regularly in my student days (this would’ve been in the mid 90s) but haven’t seen since.
Smoked haddock kedgeree.
Anyone else remember it?
I used to make it every so often, but haven’t done in years.
I think it’s time to remedy that and get it back on the menu.

Any easy recipes welcome!

Knew I had seen a pic somewhere

Agree.
Brown sauce, garibaldis and everything else is still around

I loved Brains Faggotts! 😀

Birds Eye hot crunch pudding (lived on this as a student)
Lea and Perrin Chilli and Garlic sauce.
the little blob of jam in the middle of rice pudding.
Home made rice pudding
chocolate sponge with mint custard.

I’d like to try this - do you add water?

Yeah..there is a nice one in Loughborough market place!

One of the puddings I remember from childhood was rice cremola. I think it was based on ground rice but very creamy, mum used to cook it with milk and served it with butter. Haven't seen it for years. Can you still get tinned mandarin oranges and tinned cream? My great gran used to serve them at tea time....
I also remember the Findus crispy pancakes, very upf I guess but I did have a soft spot for them. Saturday lunch treat, most of the food I remember from childhood was home cooked but that was an exception.

I'm partial to a Spam sandwich, with fresh tomatoes and HP sauce ( brown sauce). Just the job, now & again! 😋 I've got a can in the fridge at the minute!

And pipes. They are virtually impossible to find!

My mum always used to save the dripping after cooking beef and give it to us on toast sprinkled with salt. Weirdly one of the only things I missed when I became vegetarian at 13 (the other being fish finger butties).

Eh? How can that have disappeared, we still have sausages, flour, eggs, milk and even water 😂😂

Do you have any independent retro sweets shops near you, you can buy then by the weight in the ones I've been too

For whoever was looking for Cumberland Sausage!!

You must be going to the wrong places OP! It’s always on the menu in pubs etc. where I live (West Wales). My husband always chooses it!!

I saw it advertised at Farm Foods, can't really remember the brand, maybe Young's or Findus.

Oh I love these I stopped buying the frozen ones because they were the size of a fish flake, they look a bit more substantial.

Pan-yan pickle - I remember and miss that lovely gingery flavour to this day 😋

My Dad loved Pan Yan pickle, he refused to acknowledge any other pickles existed so despite my Mum buying Branston pickle all pickles were called Pan Yan pickle in our house.

Boil in the bag fish

My sister phoned me up last night to ask if I could remember how my mum made rissoles. Haven't had those for years, does anyone still make them?

We had a Spud u Like in our town. I mostly remember them because that’s what Kathy Burke’s character’s baby (in Harry Enfield and Chums) was going to be called but pronounced Spud-oo-lickay to make it posh

I'm Scottish, and in the early 60s my parents ate potted head (I never found out more!) with mashed potatoes and veg, usually tinned peas. They were bought from the butcher in small tin moulds that were returned later. And tripe.
Instant whip. Individual meat pies in a hard white pastry case. In the early 70s whilst flat-sharing, Vesta dried curry, the height of sophistication!

@Hangingonthere we used to call it potted meat I have never heard it being called potted head 😳 My late Mil used to make it.

She said it was in the nineties. Prices have soared since then.

Oh not disappeared. Just going by the OP title ‘food you don’t seen often anymore’
