Lost Xmas food

[lookluv]

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!

Oh, mignon morceaux! And pretty much everything else that Phileas Fogg produced. Brand now owned by KP, apparently.

Elizabeth Shaw Mini Mint Creams. Similar in appearance to a Minstrel but just dark chocolate with a strong mint filling. My late Mum loved those.

Agree with all the comments about Roses, the chocolate is wierd and where the hell are the Noisette Whirls?

Coffee anything please but does anyone remember the Chocolate Coffee Beans with the liquid filling? Like tiny liqueurs with the sugar crust and a coffee liquid inside

Saw the Tunis cake in Tesco and. momentarily, thought about buying it but remembered that I didn't much like it.

And I buy the Orange and Lemon jelly slices on Amazon, DSD's favourite. Likewise Marzipan Fruits for a cousin, the brand is Walnut Tree. He's a Vegetarian so sometimes I get him their Marzipan Vegetables.

Not for xmas but I love/d scampi and lemon niknaks!

Thornton's continental casket. Cake shaped nougat with two layers filled with chocolates. My nan always gave us one 😭

I loved mignon morceaux when I was a kid!

I miss Twilights. The neapolitans too

Google the Fortnum and Mason hampers. They have one for almost 3k!

I feel your pain. These were magnificent.

You want these. Heaven.

Nutcracker - I think it was Terry's ?
Two halves , milk chocolate with a soft caramel. About the size of a walnut

Can get Worcester sauce walkers in food warehouse/Iceland

Yes I get these every year to compensate!!

🤣

Beef and mustard branigans
pop from the pop van

Do you remember the advert? Sung to the tune of Bermuda Triangle "In the blue triiiiaaannnngle"

M&s crisps were so flavoursome back then. Barbecue Beef & Onion, Salt & Vinegar so strong they'd make you sweat, prawn cocktail puffs, cheese tasters.

Also, Viennetta was totally different. The ice cream was dense, so was the chocolate, it was thick and crisp. I tried one recently and it was so... limp and frothy.

They’re definitely still knocking about - the Smiths ones are in B&M

Ohhhh I’d love some Mignons Morceaux right now!! What do we have to do to persuade KP snacks to relaunch them? I’d 100% contribute to a crowdfunder!

Amazing ! Thank you. I need a trip to M&S then!

YES Bloody lovely. I have mentioned it before and not many knew what i was on about

Yep Im old

Same

I had the tin of big mix but we’ve already eaten it so now I just have a tin 😁 I got all the coffee creams as no one else likes them, so that was a win. They do boxes as well so I’m going to get some and refill. Loads better than the sad sacks of palm oil and flavouring masquerading as Roses and Quality Street. I too miss Mingles and also lament the thin and delicious After Eight and will make do with whatever is in the box I bought that says it is After Eights but is probably an abomination.

Terrys are missing a trick with this. They could bring it back at Christmas times and have it in the shape of a Nutcracker soldier.

@Hemax1 Lakeland (the kitchen shop) also have marzipan fruits - on their website anyway.
They've also got free delivery on for the rest of today, if you're quick!

Off to look …. Thank you !

These were my Grandad's favourites and we had to include a box for his present every Christmas, so much so that we placed a box in his coffin with him. I miss Neopolitans, but miss my Grandad even more and would probably pay an extortionate amount of money at Christmas just for the memory of him💔
