My lovely Dad died some years ago, but every Christmas he was to be found in his favourite chair with a box of 'naps'

Marks and Spencers goats cheese cubes in a caramelised red onion dressing.

Seriously Strong Spreadable Chilli Cheese... Man I loved this stuff. I used to it eat it for breakfast everyday on a toasted bagel. I even drove 20 miles to a Tesco Extra to buy some.

Then I could never find it anywhere. I emailed Seriously Strong who assured me that it was available at 'large supermarkets'.

The quest continued. A few years later it was still on the Seriously Strong website, so I contacted them again and they thanked me for bringing it to their attention as it had been discontinued and thanks to my email, removed it from the website!

I still miss and look out for it. Never found anything equivalent. Sob.

Where have Aldi’s Goats Cheese Pearls gone?

Puffa puffa rice (a Kelloggs cereal)

And 10 Calorie Soups. I lived on those at uni. The onion one was lush.

CameFromAway · 04/02/2020 13:53

Cherry Garcia ice cream. Black cherry ice cream with dark chocolate slivers. So lush.

Theoretically it still exists at the 'scoop shops' for a cone but they don't sell in the the 500ml tubs in the UK. All time favourite flavour. I miss it.

Fry’s Orange Cream bars

Tidgy puds, little tiny mini Yorkshire puddings you have instead of chips, although now I’m an adult may not be such a treat. OR lemonade flavoured Cadbury crunchy

Frufoo yoghurt, with the little astronaut toy in the middle.

Mr Kipling apple and custard pies, also the apple/blackberry and custard version. They were so nice, the blob of custard inside was delicious.

And Aldi used to do a frozen prawn en croute thing that was AMAZING.

GameSetMatch · 04/02/2020 13:56

I just thought of another, Tesco nut roast from about 20years ago they assured me it would be back on the shelf after changing supplier but I’ve not seen it since.

Terry's Neapolitan chocolates

My brother has such cravings for these, have been trying to find him a substitute recently. I've failed.

Fairly recent, but I want Chocolate Philadelphia in the little square serving pots too. Two Malted Milk biscuits, one of those and a banana, DIY cheesecake kit!

Dita73 · 04/02/2020 13:59

Top Deck lager and lemon and lime shandy

Hadtoask · 04/02/2020 14:01

@BreatheAndFocus yes Bones! In a black packet. I used to get them from the fancy machine after swimming.

Zoflorabore · 04/02/2020 14:04

Without a doubt- Cadbury’s SPIRA

Howyoualldoworkme · 04/02/2020 14:04

BreatheAndFocus were they Old English Spangles? Loved them!

Bacon and tomato pot noodle. I know sounds awful but was so good when I was younger
