To be annoyed that the walnut from a walnut whip has vanished :(

...and is replaced with a blob of chocolate. Really bloody gutted. Seemingly they have been like this since August. I buy them from time to time but got gifted a pack of three from my dh who knows I love them and felt short changed. They are also no longer called a walnut whip!!! Just a whip!!! Seemingly its the price of walnuts. Cheap skates!

Nooooo! That’s awful. They are tiny as well. Sad Can they still be called Walnut Whips without the walnut though?

CakeNinja · 22/01/2018 19:28

Yabvu!! I always whip off the walnut from a walnut whip!
They seem like a random afterthought.
I do like walnuts, but they don’t seem a natural accompaniment to marshmallow and chocolate to me Confused

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 22/01/2018 19:28

There used to be a walnut on the inside as well; many years ago...

minniemummy0 · 22/01/2018 19:29

Get M&S walnut whips! They’re lovely!

PsychoPumpkin · 22/01/2018 19:29

Whaaaat? No!

Sweetpea55 · 22/01/2018 19:30

I'm really old and I can remember when they had a walnut inside as well as on the top

sausagerollsrock · 22/01/2018 19:30

Poundland have had some walnut whips in more recently. I’m guessing old stock. So stock up while you can!

Follyfoot · 22/01/2018 19:30

So glad that someone else remembers the walnut inside, thought I was going bonkers!

mrsharrison · 22/01/2018 19:30

Yes saw it today. If there's no walnut I'm not touching it. Saving money by eschewing the nut? Nestle have begun the slow death of the unique, the complex Walnut Whip!

Shockers · 22/01/2018 19:33

Everything is being dumbed down. Why can’t people who don’t like the walnut just remove it? Why should everyone miss out?

Or could it be because of nut allergies? But then we’d lose the Topic... and the Picnic!

Sad
Margomyhero · 22/01/2018 19:33

Why?

How can it still be called a walnut whip?

sirlee66 · 22/01/2018 19:33

You. what. WELL ITS NOT A BLOODY WALNUT WHIP THEN! ITS A SHITTY CHOCOLATE BLOB WHIP. THE ABSOLUTE FUCKERY OF IT!!

Apologies for my shouting. First they get rid of our galaxy truffles. Then they increase the price of a fredo. Now this.

C**ts

WhooooAmI24601 · 22/01/2018 19:33

That can't be true, I ate one at the weekend and there was definitely a walnut on the top.

I do remember the days when there was a walnut inside, too, and those were good times.

ReluctantlyRedundant101 · 22/01/2018 19:35

Any sort of chocolate with nuts in seem to be slowly disappearing
A walnut whip with no walnut is just a poxy moussy pyramid
YANBU

FuzzyCustard · 22/01/2018 19:35

I also remember the inside walnut, although "small walnut chip" would be a better description.

Buy a bag of walnuts to eat with the "whip"? (OK, I know it's not the same)

MrsLinManuelMiranda · 22/01/2018 19:35

This sounds like my idea of heaven, because I love the 'whip' part but don't like the walnuts. result!

FuzzyCustard · 22/01/2018 19:36

For nutty chocolate go to Lidl...their almond choc and hazelnut choc and both very nutty indeed.

Leeds2 · 22/01/2018 19:37

Excellent news!

mrsharrison · 22/01/2018 19:39

I'm old but don't remember the nut inside. I feel cheated.

SauvignonBlanche · 22/01/2018 19:41

No!! Shock

trumptown · 22/01/2018 19:42

I remember the walnut inside! It was stuck on the chocolate base, underneath all the marshmallow. I'd wondered if I had imagined it, glad to find out it was real.

KurriKurri · 22/01/2018 19:46

I remember the nut inside too (I'm ancient)
Surely they can't call it a walnut whip any more if there is no nut. Total craziness.
(My DD willl be pleased though she doesn;t like the walnut and always gives it to me)

neveradullmoment99 · 22/01/2018 19:47

I don't remember the walnuts inside. For anyone interested, it is called a whip instead of a walnut whip. I have my own bag of walnuts but wont always :( I am going to head to M&S.
Seemingly its down to a 20% increase in walnut prices boo!

The ‘whip’ inside now tastes like curdled cream Sad also agree that the M&S ones are now far superior
