Indeed. DH lives for Pretzel Flipz. B&M sell them amongst other places.

I had a sample of Cherry Garcia from Ocado before Christmas as well, it was a lower fat version but still lovely.

Cherry Garcia still exists, doesn't it?

I'd like Romany biscuits back.

Banana flavoured drifters!

And prawn wotsits, I'd forgotten about them @Thorilicious. I bought them a lot after school

APatchyTomCat · 04/02/2020 12:41

I used to work somewhere that served these little vegebakes. About the size of a burger, crispy breadcrumbs with green beans, carrots and onion in a cheese sauce. Omg, deep fried they were divine.

Nothing from the supermarket comes close, so if anyone knows how I can buy them (came from a caterer in a plain blue plastic bag for the freezer) I will be forever in their debt.

There was an amazing lemon pudding thing in the late 80s or 90s... I remember it being a yoghurty texture with a crunchy topping, in a little plastic pot, and you microwaved it. It was gorgeous. I can’t even remember what it was called!

ImportantWater · 04/02/2020 12:49

Tesco chicken curry in a tin, whatever recipe they were using in the late 80s, early 90s. It had raisins in. I would love to taste that again, full of additives though it no doubt was. Tesco still does a chicken curry but it’s completely different.

ImportantWater · 04/02/2020 12:51

Also the pots of mousse you used to get in the early 1980s that had a kind of fruit syrup at the bottom. The plastic pots were bumpy at the bottom so you couldn’t get all the syrup out with a spooon.
