I was thinking about the M&S Spring Onion crisps a few days ago. Absolutely delicious but bad for the breath!

FelicityMorange · 26/03/2018 17:51

Oops sorry Purplerain - I should have refreshed the page before posting!

YES! Thank you! They were so short lived I was convinced I imagined them!

TempusEejit · 26/03/2018 17:55

@FelicityMorange thank god someone else remembers tiger tots! I think I posted about them on the last thread on retro food and a couple of people said no, they were called something else and I thought I must be going mad.

Oooh, and back when there were Safeway supermarkets, they did a gorgeous own-brand bean enchiladas ready meal. I used to nip out in my lunch hour to grab one and nuke it in my work kitchen microwave. Delish!

megletthesecond · 26/03/2018 22:14

M&S goats cheese and caramelised onions in olive oil. It was delicious in salads.
It's been gone for years but I still look folornly at the cheese shelves hoping to see it reappear.

Pepsi Twist with lemon. You can still get it some places abroad but never see it over here!

Also I have no idea what they were called but I remember having yoghurts as a child which were in a round UFO pot with like an alien sat in the middle! They were amazing

treaclesoda · 27/03/2018 03:32

M&S used to do these creamy desserts that were so lovely. They were in little pots, multipacks like yoghurt, but they tasted like mousse without the fluffiness.

Purplerain101 · 27/03/2018 05:55

@beardedlobster those were Frufoo yogurts
