Pining for discontinued foods! (lighthearted) rant!

[summerchild82]

About 20 years ago when I was at Uni, I lived opposite a LIDL (back when you had to find a carboard box to carry your stuff around!). They used to do a Ristorante Frutti Di Mare frozen pizza (I think it was 2 in a box) and it still pisses me off that it was discontinued. It wasn't just prawns, it had mussels and other stuff (possibly olives) on it. I still think about the bastard things today and I just thought there must be others who have their long lost foods.

Others for me are Brannigans crisps and more recently, Fries To Go! Oh how I could demolish some Fries To Go right now!

What are yours? Join in my rant :)

M&S rosy noses
asdas old Marti mushrooms before Covid
blue dragon crispy noodles

Don't know if anyone's said it yet but....

Drifter bars

First post nails it! I so miss these 😔

I get a couple of packs most times I shop, have got some in the cupboard now, Maybe they don’t do them everywhere, I know some items availability varies around the country.

Findus Crispy Pancakes are still available, now branded Birds Eye.

"You catch ma Driffftt"

Maille Bearnaise sauce in a jar. I haven't found a replacement which is a patch on it.

Bloody lovely and responsible for every one of my fillings

Neapolitan Chocolates!
I'd forgotten all about them. A treat at Christmas or other special occasion. Loved them all, except the coffee ones.
We also had the "special" Terry's dark box at Christmas. Each year a different design box, with drawers and such. Had forgotten that as well.

I very much miss potato triangles. I found something with a similar texture in Norway a few years ago called Sætre Snackers but unfortunately I can't justify going there every year just to buy them...

Iceland do those cheese biscuits

Australia - Bring back Pollywaffles

OMG yes, I thought I was the only person who remembered those, the lemon one is firmly planted in my memory as the most amazing thing ever (it probably tasted like floor cleaner but my 80s taste buds thought it was the bomb).

I miss a pizza Iceland used to sell too - it had hotdog in the crust and was utter trash nutritionally but it was awesome for a Saturday night in front of a crappy movie. And the little frozen raspberry ripple mousse pots you could get from Bejams (Iceland before Iceland!) - you could eat them frozen or let them defrost and have them as mousse.

You must have been in hospital to taste it though! It was very much only seen on the side tables of hospital beds.

I was going to say Secret bars. Was devastated when they disappeared from the shelves as a kids. Still think about them.

Oh! And Laughing Cow cheese in cubes! Used to come in 3(?) different flavours

Banana bubbles- ‘the cereal that thinks it’s a milkshake’

M&S used to sell little jars of stir into grains sauce. I remember mango, lime and coconut flavour and it made plain quinoa bearable.

lidl are a pita for getting you all excited about a microwave rice flavour amongst other things then pooff! it's gone, never to be seen again.

Cadbury's from before Mondelez bought it and ruined it. They literally ruined the best, reasonably priced thing in my life.

Dr Oetker Pollo pizza. I loved that pizza. 😭

Loved a mushroom double Swiss. The main reason to go to Burger King.

Oh god yes! Disgusting atrocity it is now. Won’t ever buy a Cadbury’s product again while they own it.

Cabana bars
Quattro drink
Heinz sponge pudding in the tins
Biarritz chocolate boxes shaped like a blue triangle

Little cubes, slightly varying in colour, and trying to detect different tastes!

Knorr sizzle and stir tikka masala paste in the jar with a little pot of the tikka paste on top.
