Foods from my childhood that I miss!

[Frosty6611]

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

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

The really cheap, chocolate, rice crisps and raisin cakes in round cool trays that supermarkets used to sell.

And fuse bars.

Sara Lee pecan pie. Was always christmas breakfast with a glass of bucks fizz as a teenager/twenty something.

Also cadburys secret bars!

Pacers tasted of soap.

Prawn cocktail wotsits

Oh I've just remembered...54321 ( bite the chewy bit off & dip it in tea!), Green/white/red Xmas smarties, someone must remember Banjos & Blitz bars?, proper black forest gateau, Farmer Brown crisps, salt & shake crisps with the little sachet of salt, hideously unhealthy orange juice powder that you mixed with water! I'm so nostalgic!

Mr Kipling used to do fruit and custard pies, same as their mini apple pies but with a layer of custard between the pastry top and the fruit filling. They were lovely! Also on a custardy theme, squirty custard like squirty cream, in the aerosol cans. Delish.

I remember that Entenmann's tray bake, we used to have it occasionally after Sunday lunch as a special treat, it was gorgeous. Never found anything sold these days that matches up to it.

Those who miss Marble bars - is it not just the same as guylian seashells?

And....Spiras! And Texan bars, Gold nugget chewing gum in a little bag! Does anyone remember tiny classic vinyl albums that were made out of chewing gum?! I've still got my Roxy Music 'Avalon' one! I used to get one every Sunday when my dad got our soda syphon refills at the off license!

Bluesheep8 they were called Jamborees. I liked the green mint flavoured ones.

More from my teenage years really than childhood but i really miss this chocolate bar by Terry's. it was made of hexagonal pieces of chocolate with caramel and hazelnut, and they later release a version shaped like a mountain with white choc snow caps. I think it was called Moments or something but the exact name escapes me.

Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby- peanut butter pretzels in vanilla ice cream.

Terry's Pyramint. and Choc oranges which actually tasted nice and were bigger

Some crisps like Quavers called Crunchies if i recall correctly- there was cheese flavour and a bacon (or was it beef) flavour?

Oh and Tubes crisps. I think Walkers did them. i remember them from the 80s

Just remembered Cadbury's Mint Crisp, and Top Deck bars. I think they still do them in S Africa though.

Nice biscuits with orange or yellow icing on, spangles and iced gems

I remember some biscuits with icng on them in a stripe pattern- like neapolitan ice cream- vanilla, strawbery, chocolate and they were round biscuits with fluted edges. IFIRC they were known as Iced Shorties

@leanne9312 I need that recipe!!! 😂

Neopolitan chocolates. Very sophisticated 😏

YABU for not being able even to copy the name correctly from the packet.

Oh, Neapolitans! I loved those. A staple in my Christmas stocking as a teenager.
Remember those vile Weekend chocolates- yuck.

Powder ice cream? No idea. What is it?

Creamola foam has a pretty good looks-likey called Krakatoa Foam. I’ve only tried the raspberry flavour, and it was just like the childhood original.

I’m on my third tin. If you google it, you’ll find a few suppliers.

Fruit polos
Cherry Drops

TheOxymoron

wasn't that a cabana bar or something, coconut, caramel and cherries. so good from the 80s. I wish they'd bring it back

YES to the pp who mentioned Cadbury Tasters. Used to love those and would always get a bag from the vending machine at college

Yes to Neapolitan chocolates. So grown up!
And lemon puffs - Huntley & Palmers

Does anyone know if these still exist?

I used to love the sweet tabaco. it was some kind of shredded brown sweet in a packet
