Have the percy pigs changed over the last few years? They seem less squishy nowadays.

They still do pikelets - my local M&S doesn't have them but the large store in town does.

They used to do a yogurt and fruit thing in a red and white packet and the yogurt was so delish it was like cream.

Garlic and herb crisps in a light blue packet.

I liked the mini cheese rolls (like sausage rolls, but filled with cheesy stuff instead of meat). It's all 'breadless' fecking sandwiches nowadays. (Errr, you mean salad?)

orangina · 07/02/2008 14:39

ooh, i used to love a rum baba.....
(it has been SOME time since i saw those on the shelves....)

Cremolafoam · 07/02/2008 14:40

I used to love their gooseberry fools. Haven't been able to find those for years now...

GrapefruitMoon · 07/02/2008 14:48

They used to do a family sized chicken pie (creamy sauce not gravy) which all mine loved (no mean feat with my fussy eaters...) but don't seem to do it anymore....

MaryAnnSingleton · 07/02/2008 14:50

Not M&S but why don't Waitrose do their prawn cottage cheese anymore - it was really,really lovely

FrannyandZooey · 07/02/2008 14:50

yes the cheese and celery sandwich is a favourite chez Franny also

I miss the giant couscous with butternut squash that has vanished, plus they never seem to have the banana smoothies any more, and they are the only ones I like

PestoMonster · 07/02/2008 14:52

Asda do that prawn cottage cheese. It is really lovely

Whizzz · 07/02/2008 14:55

Licourice Mints !! Like licourice allsorts but with the coloured bits replaced by minty white bits. They were DEVINE

MaryAnnSingleton · 07/02/2008 14:57

and why don't M&S do their sports bras (the £12) ones the same way as before - they're flimsier now

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 07/02/2008 17:38

Someone should email this thread to M&S. People power has had discontinued items brought back before now.

pootleflump · 07/02/2008 18:52

Ooh I loved that chicken pie too- GrapefruitMoon. I've had it fairly recently in the individual size though.
