Newberry or Meltis fruits?

Can you remember ]] they used to be as cheap as chips

Try b&m - £1

Good grief! They are extortionate!

Can you remember these too? they used to be as cheap as chips

My Grandad always had a box of York Fruits like these

I'm sure I saw something similar to Newberry Fruits last week in Lidl. I didn't take a lot of notice but Newberry Fruits flitted through my mind at the time. It would be worth having a look there, Kittylester.

I think you will have to travel back to 1973.

Oh yes, Terry’s Neapolitans. Wonderful!

This has reminded me that Father Christmas used to bring me a box of those kittylester!

Really, I should have woken up and told him I preferred Terry's Neapolitans ?

I wish they`d bring back Terry`s Neapolitans, they were yummy.

I never liked them

I loved newberry fruits that crunchy liquidy fruity bit ummm my favourites but not seen them for years why do they stop these popular things
We always had them at Christmas

I used to love those jellies too, along with the crystalized fruits that were in a wooden box.
There's not even any decent chocolate as once was, like Terry's of York with their 1769 ? chocs of days gone by. Boxes with little drawers in them and the chocs were delicious as well.

I recently bought some at the food bit of garden centre thinking they would be the real deal - they weren't!

I haven't stockpiled them. Awful things. To each their own.

I bought some in Home Bargains but they didn’t have the essential crunchy bit in the middle. Looked exactly like the original. Disappointed

My mother loved these, Kitty and insisted they were part of her Christmas.
I'm sure I saw them in Home Bargains recently.

Have never heard of Batgers Chinese figs, they sound very intriguing. Meltis/Newberry fruits were my Nan's favourite but I loved Clarnico peppermint creams.

Oh, I remember Batgers Chines figs, along with crystallized fruits. Haven't seen them for years.

Have they gone the same way as Batger’s Chinese Figs? Both the Figs and Newberry Fruits, used to be among my ‘ must haves’ at Christmas.

Oh, that brings back the memories - they were my dad's absolute favourites at Christmas!

Thank you everyone!! You have confirmed my suspicions!!

Off to investigate the German ones.

I loved them as a child, so did my father, they were an occasional treat.

They are still made but in Germany. Amazon have them but they are a tad expensive. Still it is Christmas and could make a nice present. Santa please note they are one of my favourites too.

My mum loved these too and the York fruits don’t have the melty centre.

They have been discontinued unfortunately. My Dad loved them, so did I. I think the only ones you can get now (including on Amazon) are the ones with the jelly centres.
