Food or drink you wish was available but isn't.

[Rustydogtail]

I'm not talking about discontinued stuff more items that just have never been invented/available.

For me it would be a non carbonated original Coca-cola.

I usually just leave the top off for a few days to get the desired flatness but sometimes I'd just love to pop into a shop a grab an ice cold flat coke.

Weird, I know but that's the one food/drink I'd really wish was readily available.

There was a trend on Tik Tok recently of foods people wish were available and one was a lemon meringue version of Tunnock's Tea Cakes - I'd love that too.

What would be on your wish list?

Also boxes of chcoolates (like Milk Tray) with assorted fillings only covered in white chocolate! (Am allergic to dark chocolate and a bit so-so with milk chocolate unless it's very blond, but can eat white chocolate like anything). I miss a nice chocolate assortment!

Oh yes. They sound great.

A powder, like bouillon, but for bechemel sauce. So you can get the flavour of a bechemel sauce without all the faff. Even though it's not a huge faff but sometimes a shortcut would be good.

@StressyMcStressFace there is a French cordial which is mint flavour which you could have with soda water for a fizzy, minty drink. I first saw it when I was at school and my actually French French teacher brought it in.

They have this Bechamel powder in French supermarkets. The brand is Maizena if you ever visit or ask a friend to pick some up. It's very good!

Yes!

Off topic but I also want savoury scented candles. None of your blueberry cobbler- I want lasagne or shepherd's pie or chicken and stuffing.

And a savoury herbal tea. Not bouillon. Am infusion with herbs and veg. Tomato and basil, carrot and coriander, etc. I don't mean soup. Just tea.

A decent vegan cottage cheese alternative that had a similar nutrition profile. It's literally the only food item I have ever missed since going vegan in 2001!

There is a mint chill sprite i bought some the other week it was ok, quite refreshing but not massively minty.
also not sugar free but peppermint cordial mixed with sparkling water is nice.

Have you ever tried oatmeal or porridge with cheese added? An Italian friend adds Parmesan and it’s delicious. I imagine marmite could be stirred in there, if that’s your thing.

I'd love to find this too. I have not found one GF loaf that doesn't leave a weird aftertaste or upsets my tummy because of all the crap in them. I've had to give up completely.

I don't eat dairy either and really miss cheesecake.

I bought coriander chewing gum in China. I'm yet to try it though... 🙈

Wine with no calories and no hangover

I’d be happy with more ginger or cinnamon flavoured sweets. They do exist in other countries but apparently not here. Thailand is great for ginger stuff! We always bring a load back and eat it within a few days.

I’d like to be able to buy big pots of the fruit corner yoghurt.

Mmmmm......I could go for that too!

You can still buy sosmix

@Rustydogtail have you tried the cola syrup that is meant to be used soda streams ? It probably won't taste like cokecola but it might be ok.

I'd like icecream that's not cold.
I like the frozen texture , I love a good vanilla or mint ice cream but my teeth and head hate the cold

Sainsbury’s liver sausage from 80s-90s! Fried for breakfast was incredible

I'd like a coffee-flavoured Tunnocks anything! 😋

Non alcoholic wine that actually tastes like wine - not a sweet/artificial flavour

How can we invent all the tech we can but someone still can’t produce a beautiful tasting wine with zero alcohol?!

Alter Eco or Verse for the chocolate, but you might have to import!

Best I have found in UK
is Montezumas at 74%

Gingerbread or pumpkin spice flavoured porridge. Ready Brek used to do a gingerbread version but it was discontinued 😕

Oh yes, I agree! The only acceptable ones I've found are Kylie 0% white and pink, Tanquery Gin, and Whitley & Nell Rhubarb and ginger gin. I would love a 0% red which tastes and feels just like a full bodied red

@Moistcottonchafers thank you for that suggestion. Sadly I can't see the ingredients, though one site said it was wheat starch and palm fat, and we have a dairy allergy and gluten intolerance in the house. I would love a powder like a curry powder and you add an amount to hot (plant based) milk that thickens and tastes like bechemel sauce.

These are so pretty

I'm sure i could also just plough through some Kendall mint cake!

Thank you everyone for your lovely chalky minty suggestions 🩵

This should really be makeable, surely? Can you explain how you would like it to be different to bouillon? I want to try!!!
