Dairy Milk with minty bits through it. It's still available in Ireland so i get my fix from the ethnic isle in Tesco and Morrisons.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 25/03/2018 12:24

Apparently, they're from a supermarket in Chinatown.

I miss Cadbury Marble... I could easily have eaten a million lol

LibbyLongtree · 25/03/2018 12:25

M&S lemon and sultana cheesecake.

Anyone remember a breakfast cereal called something like crackling bran. Had a coconuty taste as a recall. Lovely.

Romantica ice cream cake

We used to have it whenever we had visitors for Sunday lunch

I found it in Ireland about twelve years ago and it was still just as good but not seen it in the uk since the 90s

Costco bagels

Spartak · 25/03/2018 12:36

Hot banana crunch - I think it was made by Birds and they did a chocolate flavour as well.

Secret chocolate bars.

Fatarseflanagan09 · 25/03/2018 12:36

Frys chocolate cream with different flavoured fondant in each piece.

Pecanpickles · 25/03/2018 12:37

@dolly &purplerain You might find astros in South African food shops. I look every time I come across one and I find astros there 75% of the time!

Melon and passion fruit individual youghurts - Sainsburys own brand in 70s

TooManyPaws · 25/03/2018 12:37

Crunchies with the exploding candy. They were only a short-term thing but I loved them.

Pecanpickles · 25/03/2018 12:37

I miss cadbury praline flakes

kateandme · 25/03/2018 12:38

on amazon you can get hello panda.a japenese snack biscuit which is their version of cartoonies.

lazarusb · 25/03/2018 12:38

Craze bars - like a soft peanut chew. Gorgeous.
Banjo bars - I'd give my right arm for one of those now!

DH was craving Toffos last year - I found some online and got a box imported for him as a Christmas gift. he loves them.

ItWentInMyEye · 25/03/2018 12:38

The Pioneer supermarket in town used to sell garlic bread crisps, they were like little baguette rounds but rock hard and super garlicky. I've searched years for something similar Sad

possumgoddess · 25/03/2018 12:39

Oh so many!!!!!I

Yes to the Phileas Fogg mignon morceaux and the Sainsburys cream cheese and celery sandwiches, but lots more!

What about Frys chocolate spread? It was almost black and really sticky. And does anyone remember those oval honey cream biscuits? I don't know what they were called ( I was only tiny) but they were like jammy Dodgers but oval and with a honey and cream filling rather than jam and cream. And Cremola - which was a bright yellow milk pudding like a cross between custard and semolina pudding. Yummy.

Pecanpickles · 25/03/2018 12:40

@lana omg yes mars delights were the BEST #weep

TheFaerieQueene · 25/03/2018 12:41

Tomatoes that have flavour. Probably not quite what the OP was taking about - but I can’t think of anything that bugs me more.
