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!

After Eight sticks, had them the last few years. Can’t find any this year, and don’t like normal After Eights.

Sadly, I can’t find that for you, but I can give you closure.

(Article says Nestle stopped production last year.)

That does explain it, thank you for confirming. Christmas won’t be the same!

...grumbles...

I get what you're saying about the alternatives to Mignons Morceau BUT I want the teeny tiny nubbly end bit which was like a little rock of garlicky crunchiness.

Marks and Spencer big mix are far better than any other chocolate. They do tins as well as boxes.

St Delia of Norwich (patron saint of Advent and Yuletide) has a recipe for buttered brazils in her original Christmas book, I can post it if anyone’s interested.

I am mourning the passing of Twiglets and am ready to join any protest against the current abominations.

I’m interested @Elmrosie!!

I've been looking for these too! Oh well at least I know not to keep looking 😂

Thanks @FFSToEverythingSince2020

Hopefully this is OK to post. The recipe isn’t on her website, I guess she thinks there’s isn’t much call for it these days. Interesting to see metric being provided as an afterthought!

Lidl for both.

I'm not entirely convinced the M&S big mix tin thing actually exists, our local ones have the peppermint bark and some ungodly concoction involving cold popcorn, but the chocolate selection tins are nowhere to be seen.

The M&S tins do exist. I bought some but back in early November and then I had to hunt the shelves every couple of days until I found them.

York fruits - jelly sweets with a weird hard capsule of fruity liquid in the middle
jelly orange & lemon slices
Weekend chocolate boxes
Tunis cake and Dundee cake

They have the jelly orange and lemon slices still in some pound land shops
