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 :)

The only real boost imo

Oh, and fruit Club bars!

I came on to say this. Particularly the cheese and tomato ones.

smiths Ready salted chipsticks
Drifter
echo bars

Beef flavoured square crisps - available around mid 2000s. Best flavour of crisps ever. Absolutely gutted when they stopped making them

M&S used to do Kitchen Sink biscuits, I miss them so much.

I remember the brand name but can't place the snacks! Semolina - well, horses for courses I guess, I'm pretty sure many would be horrified at my seafood pizza!!

Spicy tomato snaps! 😭

Iceland sell a multipack of the scampi and bacon fries but not the cheese ones sadly.

God, I could go for a Secret Bar. Or a Sprira. I don’t know why having chocolate in different shapes makes it taste better but it just does.

Not sure if this counts as discontinued but I wish they would bring back the old Feast ice creams with proper chocolate in the middle. I bought some recently on a whim and whatever that is in the middle isn’t chocolate. You used to to be able to eat all the ice cream and still have solid chocolate in the middle, now it’s just chocolate flavour mush.

Just wow. The world was a happier place when I didn't know about that lasagna!

Brannigan’s crisps. Think they did ham and mustard flavour

These! But specifically the M&S version, which were called Deltas. I adored them.

Spira! Another one sadly missed.

Mint Feasts with the chocolate centre were the best. Modern life really is rubbish 😔

Milo chocolate bars are amazing. I wish they would do them here. Nothing I've found matches up to it 🙁

The Aldi version (fiesta) are decent. Properly solid middle that you have to bite into

Toffee and mallow eggs 😭

Definitely Phileas Fogg snacks. And Nobby’s Nuts.

I went vegan a couple of years ago but missed a few things. For a while Squeaky Bean did a Spanish style Tortilla and fake smoked salmon. Now discontinued.

I miss chunky Aero and how it used to taste. The Aero in the flat shape is nowhere near the same.

The old Cadbury's dairy milk.

Cote d’Or Zero chocolate bar. It came in a silver wrapper.
Whoever imported them into Ireland, where I live, stopped. Sadly.

Instant Whip, so much nicer than Angel Delight.

Sara Lee chocolate gateaux. I LOVED it, could eat one right now.

Proper Ribena and old school panda cherryade.
cannot get anything that doesn’t taste fake anymore!

Mint feasts, 1980 cherryade panda pops, Start cereal, golden grahams.
