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!

Id forgotten about those, would be lovely to be able to still buy them

Bath olivers....wasn't they grouty's favourites, and fletch as well...

Frogmella was child 1, the one whose cough interfered with smoking. 2 was Spudulika, "It's exotic", 3was cannot reeves slob.

Danish Blue Cheese.
My Grandad used to eat it and I thought my palate could tolerate it as I was older and liked some other blue cheeses. No! I tried. Not successful.
I don’t see it any more.

You used to be able to get Hovis biscuits too. I loved those!

Edit: Okay, apparently you still can!

Feast ice creams made in different flavours. I remember a coconut, a mint one. Think they did another flavour. Which was probably toffee

You still get feast lollies but with a lot of things from childhood they end up a disappointment now.
Oh and they're bloody tiny.

DH was looking for Danish Blue just a couple of weeks ago and couldn't find any in the shops he went to.

Sainsbury's do Danish Blue, I love it :)

I find the opposite; everywhere I go it's wall-to-wall Danish Blue, but it's much harder to find Roquefort and even more difficult to get Picos de Europa

I used to go to a cafe with my mum when young and always had a coke float.
Remember eating brawn and tongue sandwiches.
Loved toast toppers(always burned the roof of your mouth)
Pop tarts
vesta chow mein and curries
Mum regularly made savoury mince and mash
Corned beef hash
Liver and onions
Ham and egg salads
But she made a dish with egg tinned tomatoes and milk that was cooked in the oven and eaten with toast.
Also used to take my boiled eggs out the shell chop and mix with butter
Loved that and did it for all my children

@ForQuirkyFawn ah you can still get those here in Bath at the very posh artisan cheese shop

@TessTickle0 I still sometimes have a boiled egg like that.

For those that have mentioned Bath Oliver’s - if you come to Bath - the last time I went into very posh Paxton and whitfields here they had them - will sneak a look this weekend

Wham bars! Took forever to eat

I have seen them in B&M and Home Bargains. 65p for one bar! It was 10p in the early 90s. Plus fewer of those green and yellow blobby bits.

Love me a wham bar back then.
Anyone remember the Highland toffee bars?
Red wrapper I think.

Coo candy early 70s Ne Scotland
It was thick had to be broken into bits by cracking it of the mantle piece.

Anyone remember the sweet "cigarettes" ?

They had a red tip & came in a pack just like fags.

Yes! We used to pretend to smoke them. There was plenty of inspiration; I think nearly all our parents smoked.
Also, no one else ever remembers these, but I can remember candy cigars; thicker than the pink and white cigs, although not as thick as actual cigars, really really cheap powdery ‘chocolate’ flavour and they were wrapped in purple printed paper. I loved them.

Rum 'n' raisin ice cream

Rum 'n' raisin ice cream brought a little smile to my face😀

They are back. I spotted them in Asda the other day so checked and they are indeed back.

Ooh! I love rum and raisin ice cream @elephantoverthehill .
I used to get it in Pitlochry. I pick Edradour Whisky flavour now.

@AnneKipankitoo Whisky icecream sounds like a nice treat 😋

Ice cream used to be sold in blocks wrapped in card, rather than the tubs we get now. I haven't had raspberry ripple ice cream for a long time. Not the modern version from the supermarket, or the lovely one my sister makes, I'm thinking of the old fashioned block that the ice cream man sold. We used to have a some nearly every week in the summer, after Sunday tea at my grandma's house, when the ice cream van came round.

That reminds me, I haven't had a 99 from an ice cream van for a long time. There's a van that parks by a local school in the afternoon. If this hot weather holds I think I'll walk up there today and buy one. I bet they're not 99p any more.
