Many years ago Marks & Spencer sold a cheese and apple sandwich. It was grated cheese mixed with some kind of mayonnaise and with chunks of apple. It was amazing. Then it stopped and it never returned.

Would I be unreasonable to email their head office to ask for them to reintroduce it?

There was a dark chocolate bar with pink peppercorns that I loved. I think the brand was French and something like Dolfin or Dauphin? I suddenly couldn't find it anywhere, even online. I've tried a few other brands but they've been nowhere near as good. One other I miss is the Go Ahead orange flavour biscuits. They still do apple and forest fruits but the orange ones were definitely the best.

Plain chocolate Bounty in the red wrapper! Can't find them anywhere!!

Terry’s Neapolitans. Used to get a box at Christmas with our stockings and I’m not sure if they really were as good as I remember or if it’s the nostalgia but I would love to see these make a comeback.

Mum used to get one box and we'd have one of each flavour right at the bottom of the Christmas stocking.Delicious and I loved the different coloured wrappers too.
More recently Lidl did a really super high cocoa milk chocolate called JD Gross (single origin?)Grenada, that has disappeared from the shelves this year. Sad to see it go

Walkers Builder's Breakfast flavour crisps. It was one of their special editions so wasn't around long, but everybody I knew who'd tried them thought they were amazing. You could actually taste the fried egg!

Pret chicken caeser sandwich - the baguettes aren't as tasty/too hard to eat
Galaxy nut anything

The egg tomato and salad cream sandwich is still going strong! I have one most weeks

Now I'm really jealous. Haven't seen these for at least 2 years or feels like it. Tbh our sandwich selection here in NI is quite dire now even in their biggest store which I get to occasionally

Another one for Toast Toppers.
My mum used to use them as a baked potato filing too - bake a couple of potatoes, hollow them out and mash the Toast Topper in with the hot potato. Fill the potato skins with the mixture and Bing back in the oven till crispy on top. Delicious!!
Also, Estee Lauder lipstick in Tiramisu shade. Sadly discontinued and I've never found a similar colour across any of the ranges I've tried.

M&S did a delicious milk chocolate bar with dried raspberries. The milk chocolate had a high cocoa content, it was verging on dark chocolate but not quite.

Yes and I’m sure Boots used to do one too. Was soooo nice - the little bit of celery to give it a healthy crunch.

M&S still do the cheese and celery sandwich .

I always get one when I’m in there

Lidl have stopped doing their passion fruit and orange gin. It was not sweet like other flavoured gins and just tasted of summer. Also Birdseye please bring back crispy cod balls

M&S need to get their team on this thread!

Years ago they did a prawn and egg sub. Sounds grim but was delicious. Then that disappeared so I swapped to their ham and egg sub (with some token lettuce). Then that one disappeared too!

Now when I pop in for a sandwich I spend just a fraction too long thinking how none of the current options compare!

I dream of the prawn and egg sub
It had this green herby dressing and lettuce
I ate it every week

I loved Mars delights! I miss them..they were best eaten out the fridge.

I also wish they would bring back ready salted chipsticks. They were amazing

Waitrose always has cheese and celery sandwiches in stock around here.

brannigans crisps. Absolute travesty they were ever discontinued…

Our m&s has cheese and celery and egg and tomato sandwiches
They are exactly the same as they always have been

WonderingWanda · 04/08/2025 06:54

Agree with Tyrozettes. Also the original Karvol capsules and night nurse nothing is quite as good. Truly Pink by Vera Wang.
