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!

Morrisons sell their own brand ready salted chipsticks.

Oh why oh why did I catch up with this thread on a Sunday, now I’m hungry for chip sticks and unfathomably, angel delight 😳 but shops not open till 10 😜

For the Squashies fans...
I bought this just now 😄

And definitely do not see these around much any more...
Candy necklaces (and watches!)

Ooh @BigJanette , I saw those necklaces in a wee ice cream shop in Pitlochry recently.

I was a child in the 60s & 70s & remember that when flavoured yoghurt first became popular most brands/supermarkets had orange flavoured yoghurts. It was usually just orange or strawberry flavours as standard. I haven’t seen a lot of orange flavoured yoghurts lately. I’m sure some brands still make that flavour, but it’s certainly not as prevalent as it was then. Also nut-flavoured yoghurts. My favourites were hazelnut or Brazil nut, although I never understood why they put so much sugar in them.

M&S also used to do battered chicken fingers, as an early foray into ready-made food. They were the size of children’s fingers & the chicken was breast fillet. As a greedy little girl I loved them.

I remember Ski yoghurt in the 1970s. There was also a set yoghurt and I used to like it. The flavours were chocolate or strawberry, I think. I don't remember them having the slightly sour tang that natural yoghurt has, so they were probably heavily sweetened and thickened.

From the 1970s, I remember Slimcea and Nimble bread and Energen crispread being advertised on telly. The models were slim, female and glamorous.
I can't remember the year, but I remember diet drinks like 1-Cal being advertised.
It seemed to glamourise dieting and it was obviously geared towards women.

Coronation chicken and deviled eggs!

I do a variation on devilled eggs alot. Was a staple of my late 70s childhood and I often make a big batch and put in the fridge for snacking.

When feeling very luxe I top with caviar for parties etc.

@AnneKipankitoo ooh did you buy any?

@cheapskatemum and @EcruCardigan
We were probably eating 6 spoons of sugar per pot of Yoghurt 😅
I had forgotten about the nut flavours!
Those were the days.
But somehow, we seemed a lot healthier and people were definitely slimmer back then 🤔

Ski pineapple yoghurt was the only one I liked.

I still wish they'd bring them back.

@BigJanette , salt and sugar weren't considered bad for you back then.
I still don't think they are, but aspartame can FOTTOSOF. That stuff is vile.

I don't each much UPF, don't have a sweet tooth and rarely add salt to my food, so it's not an issue IYSWIM.

I did not @BigJanette . I was not a fan of them.

@Yerroblemom1923 There is a minor tourist industry in Fray Bentos (Town in Uruguay) with British people going to look at the original factory.

I love devilled eggs @HappySheldon - I think Americans make them more often that Brits. Mmm so good, might make some this weekend…..

We use the kedegree reciepe based on delia https://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/occasions/mothers-day/mothers-day-breakfast-and-brunch/kedgeree

I don’t think we got yoghurt every day though ? They were a treat

Still miss tootie fruities

St Ivel used to make yoghurt and this spread called Gold. The yoghurts had a “French” set version which were a bit starchy. I also remember Sainsbury’s own brand yoghurts having hazelnut and also toffee ones in the pack of 4.

One thing I really miss is M&S deltas - and they used to do a lovely gooseberry fool

And probably expensive,I remember getting ski yoghurt early 70s.

St Ivel Gold was disgusting. Mum said it was like engine grease.

Remember the advert for one of those breads, Nimble I think, with a hot air baboon.

Balloon … a hot air baboon does sound more memorable and fun @Bromptotoo

@AnneKipankitoo bloody spellcheck.

I'll leave it for posterity!!
