Lost Xmas food

Xmas nostalgia has been bad this weekend - why will someone not bring back mignons morceaux, cheese moments, worcester sauce crisps, cream and cheesy niknaks and those massive KP bignuts

It really is not Xmas without them!

There still is Worcester sauce crisps? I'd like edible cheap chocolate back, not the claggy poor excuses, we have today. Oh and Asda's orange Irish cream.

Walkers have started doing Worcestershire sauce flavour again.

Don’t recognise any of those! I miss my mother’s stuffing though. And her bread sauce. And her Christmas cake! Having a family now I realise what a feat she managed, making it magical for us three kids, inviting several waifs and strays for dinner, cooking a fabulous meal (my father was fairly useless with domestic stuff). So it’s more people I miss, not things (my father passed years before her, and my DH passed just after my father). Christmas is still wonderful, but not the same.

B and M have packs of Walkers Worcestershire sauce crisps. They also have boxes of York Fruits. The Range does too. I've seen orange and lemon slices in a few places too.

Had to google these as didn't know what they were? Like hard garlic croutons?!

About 30ish years ago when I was about 10 I remember my aunt buying a white chocolate torte from M&S to be one of the Christmas puddings - it was silky smooth white chocolatey goodness and we never saw it ever again 😭
I wouldn’t eat it now but for years after we were bereft and it was top of the list of family Christmas chat as to whether or not we’d find it that year 😂

Proper Roses chocolates with jewel shiny wrappers that came in a tin.

York fruits are still around. Someone brought a box into work last week!

Everything coffee flavoured please. As a 90’s kid, I remember coffee creams in your tin of Roses, coffee flavour Matchmakers and a coffee Vienetta.

I heard M and S Big Mix Tin has a coffee choc in it

Sara Lee double chocolate gateaux! I was reminded of it in a nostalgia video. I love that stuff! Was always my choice if I got to pick the pudding.

Amazon have them in big bags, but they are quite pricey, but worth it if you like them.

They are selling Worcester sauce crisps in the co op at the min

It does, and I can confirm it’s delicious. It has a firm texture too.

The M&S Big Mix is the closest you can get to the traditional Roses/Quality Street now.

Cheesy nik naks are back! They were in Sainsbury’s last week

PinkArt · 07/12/2025 23:53

Mignon Morceaux for Christmas? Oh you were FANCY! They were strictly nibbles before A Dinner Party in our house and my sister and I would loiter so we could pinch some before bed.

HeyThereDelila · 07/12/2025 23:54

York Fruits still exist - the ones with the juice centre are called Newberry Fruits. My DGM always lamented their demise - then a few years ago I found them in an old fashioned sweet shop! They still exist @Defiantly41
