What food did you have as a child that really just doesn't taste the same anymore??

I used to love breakfast muffins, brown bread and butter and an amazing shop bought cottage pie in a round foil tin which was super buttery and tasty. Also mcdonalds chicken nuggets. None of the above tastes anything like I remember, no matter where I buy it from or how much I spend on it! Is there anything you used to have that you still think about that you can't find? Or thought you'd lost forever that you have managed to track down??

Carrots- even the organic ones are tasteless :(
rice used to have a lovely aroma- not anymore

In true Mumsnet style, a reference for the porridge doesn't taste the same.

Interesting read, thank you.
