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?

Not so much a new or different food, I just want food (I guess pre packaged stuff not ingredients) to be better quality. Everything is rank now, full of shite to keep profits up (while costs go up). Food just used to taste better.

Hard agree. Caffeine free Dr Pepper please - I love Dr Pepper but can't tolerate caffeine at all.

I'd like a red bull with no caffeine! I actually like the taste of it but don't want the caffeine!!

Pasta, bread and chocolate that were low in carbs and sugar but tasted the same

Sweetners that don’t have that horrible taste but taste more like sugar but without the calories!

Seabrook do little pots of crisps flavourings, I saw them in B&M yesterday.

Totally agree.

Chocolate is one of the worst. I’m a chocoholic and find most of my previous favourites taste like candle wax these days with virtually no cocoa solids in them at all. I find so many foods very disappointing.

Alcohol free dry cider, fruit cider that isn’t ridiculously sweet. I’m off alcohol for medical reasons and everything available is either sweet or horrible tasting, I ended up on sparkling water yesterday, boring

I am frequently too disabled to prepare food so I want:

Cheap, healthy, tasty long life meals in a tin/box/jar that's not ultra processed.

If I've been well enough and shopped, salad in a packet works but they take up loads of room in the fridge, and don't last long.

I want a large easter egg sized cream egg that is full of the fondant in regular cream eggs.

A soft drink which is zero calories, not caffeinated, and tastes decent without being horribly expensive. I’m on the low sugar vimto atm.

Thanks @EatingHealthy but sadly this review has sold it for me… 😆

Like you I can't stand the fruit ciders , have you tried Inches 0.0% I really like it , Stowford 0% press is ok too but taste a bit earthy to me

Calorie free spaghetti bolognese. I want to eat it until I am fit to burst without gaining any weight.

@TokyoTantrum if you are ever in Ireland try these: https://www.tesco.ie/shop/en-IE/products/250816211?srsltid=AU7gw4VB0tD0Ij6N8B5IIwuXch-87ISc0H29MGNICIgeOM8btE38bytp

Minty and very chalky. I think they are exactly what you are looking for!

I remember buying Canderel chocolate in the mid 90s thinking it was really healthy as it was sugar free! The calories weren’t that much different to normal chocolate!

The fruit gums now are nothing like the ones pictured from the 80s. They are really soft now

Another vote for Oreos without the filling!

Is cornflour glutenfree ? I make sauce by mixing cornflour into a paste then adding it to hot milk voila white sauce i then add whatever ingredient required like cheese or parsley

Sainburys used to do a very nice alcohol free cider, i drank it when i was pregnant, not sure if they still do it but it wasnt sweet.

Some are, but what I am looking for is something like instant gravy granules for when I am short of time feeling lazy 😬

I have just eaten a Eccles cake and decided that someone should make one with raspberry filling.
