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 mini wrapped bournville chocolates that fit into the dispenser.

and drifter bars.

I've no idea how accurate this is:

Fruit club bars
Trio bars

Callard and Bowser nougat. Divine.

It’s by Monin and I get it from Amazon!

Heniz toast toppers

Yes, it was called Snowflake (how original) and was a white flake coated in milk chocolate.

Lindt also did a pistachio bar, with squares filled with gree nfondant and a pistachio in each square. Like the raspberry, it's now just a bar with bits.

Galaxy chocolate Easter eggs my beloved. I am nothing without you.

Miss Cara Mac. Gold bar biscuits/Gold digestives have a similar taste. Obviously not as good as the bars

Not exactly discontinued but priced beyond my reach, are Cafe Noir biscuits. Last time I saw them in Tesco they were about £1.20 per packet, today I've seen them on Amazon at £5.46😮
Over a fiver for a packet of biscuits??? I liked them very very much, but not £5.46 worth of like!

Love spira bars

Birds Banana Crunch- the custard with crumbs on top.
Applause bars

Cremola foam drinks, think Sainsbury's did a baked potato flavour crisp (or was it M&S?), dark chocolate bounty bars,

Coconut boosts

Cabana chocolate bars. They were discontinued in the 90’s and were a yummy mix of coconut, caramel and cherry.

I also used to love Ben and Jerry’s Chubby Hubby ice cream back in the 90’s. It was vanilla malt ice cream, peanut fudge-covered pretzels, and both fudge and peanut butter swirls. I just checked and you can still get it in the US but not the UK. Sad times.

Drifter bars

"And anyway, even if she did have some sort of sexually transmitted dilemma, she's not going to be having it on channel 5" 😁

You're making me want to watch them all again already!

@Borborygmus thank you!

Mine are peperami noodles, bacon favour cheesestrings, chocolate cornflakes and the original dairylea lunchable pizza :) oh! And SunnyD

Nobody I know remembers these! The highlight of my Easter many moons ago. My grandma would buy me one in John Menzies with her newspaper. If it wasn't Easter, it would be a stick of barley sugar.

Princes tinned hot chicken curry.
They only do mild now. Breaks my little heart

I used to love those @Mykneesareshot - I do remember them!

My mum used to love Border eggs; they were wrapped in a tartan foil and had (I think) a chocolatey mousse filling.
