Foods from my childhood that I miss!

[Frosty6611]

AIBU to miss this Sara Lee Chocolate Gataeu SO MUCH?!

Also miss Cadbury Marble :-( :-( :-(

Thanks, Ineedmorecake - I will look!

Ready salted chipsticks are in Poundland I'm happy to report ☺

Actual ready salted chipsticks, not the thin pretentenders, the lovely fluffy maize salty goodness?

Off to Poundland at the weekend!

So excited can’t spell pretenders!

The cracknell chocolates that used to be in a tin of Quality Street.

Bacon Tuc.

Sainsburys used to do own brand scampi fried in a massive bag.

OH!! OH I've just remembered something I used to eat TONS of and you can't seem to get them anywhere now. Does anyone remember Garlic Mini Breads?? They came in a bag like crisps do and they were small, crouton-like things that were circular, very crunchy and had a really strong garlic flavour. They were absolutely epic.

Fries*

@MrsRubyMonday crinkle mini cheddars are in farm foods

Yes! Garlic mini breads! I was craving those with DC3 and couldn't find them anywhere, had to content myself with croutons.

@HollyGibney bacon grill is still about we sometimes have it!

I've just googled and apparently they were discontinued from everywhere. I really need them

Those garlic bread things were Phileas Fogg weren't they?

You can still get Romantica vampirethriller and glumgloworm !

Not a sentence I ever thought I'd type..

Phileas Fogg yes, but Sainsburys and Coop used to do them as well.

I think they were Treacle Crunch Creams.

The biscuit Viennetta.

The Phileas Fogg version of mini garlic breads was callled mignons morceaux if I remember correctly. They had a much nicer texture than any other brand.

Smiths' Fivers - 5 different types of savoury/crispy things in one bag. I am the only person in the world who remembers them

That Sara Lee chocolate cake.
Not ashamed to say i think about it all the time
Also Polo citrus sharp sweets.

Mint wispas

United biscuit bars

Sausage and tomato flavour crisps

Um bongo juice drink

Findus crispy pancakes

Turkey burgers/ twizzlers

Lincoln and Abbey crunch biscuits

Those vanilla and raspberry mousse type things

Artic roll

Pop tarts

Honey nut loops

Corona cherryade

I think growing up in the eighties, the food I and my siblings ate as a child offered v little nutritional value at all.
We ate fruit/ veg, but also all of the crap, but lovely tasting food above as well.

No parent would dream.of serving up any of the above food to their children today, unless it was a party or one off treat.

Spiras

Little tubs of mousse that had cardboard lids and came in a long plastic bag. You kept them in the freezer. Think they were raspberry flavour

Ginger thin biscuits - remind me of my Nan and Grandad

Crispy pancakes

Pop tarts

@London28 think our mums had the same shopping list!

That's the ones, Screaming. I miss them so much.

London and Trying - most of both your lists are still readily available.

Same here London, I think a lot of it was dished up out of novelty value - "look at what I found at Presto today!" - and we ate it up so our parents bought more of it.

I remember blue Kia-Ora, also Ribena ToothKind which tasted oddly minty.

In the noughties Tesco used to sell this amazing massive tray bake, it was heavenly

I think Entemanns must be an american company - they sell those exact traybakes at my local store here in US.

Secret bars and jolly ranchers!
