I would love to find some decent soft goat's cheese- the stuff I bought recently was all rind.

Aldi does a really nice rindless goats cheese.

Hated Caramac but loved Reilly's Chocolate Toffee Rolls and Macaroon Bars.
This thread reminded me of the beautiful gift boxes for chocolates. Gorgeous cottages on the lid with a matching ribbon.

Could have been Lees they make a selection of confectionery,fudge and tablet and chocolate meringues and macaroon bars and tea cakes
The sweet things I miss are Aston Sandwich biscuits and Oddfellow sweets and I loved Danish salami and a white Danish cheese whose name escapes me but I think it began with an H.I do know I haven’t seen it since the late 70s

The only Danish cheese I know beginning with H is Harvati. I don't see it nearly as much nowadays, mostly in speciality cheese shops.

I don't have one local to me but may make a special trip- thanks!

Square polo mints, which still had a hole in them, and strathaven toffee which tasted of burned tablet. Lovely!

Marks and Spencer used to have chocolate base cakes with a sort of marshmallow on top drizzled with Apricot jam, they were lovely, around in the 70's my mum's favourites.

Tunnock type marshmallow teacakes with jam in the middle are either Lees or Lyons.

I loved fox’s Bran biscuits. Sad they were discontinued. Anyone know of similar ?
Crunchy, great with cheese but also good on their own. Not sweet, a little like an unsweetened digestive

New berry Fruits but not exactly a food. They have started remaking them in the Netherlands but very expensive on Amazon. I did find them in stock at a reasonable price at a farm shop so I bought a box for Christmas. Gleefully anticipated eating them but disappointed. Yes they had a bit of juice in the middle but not contained in that hard surgery shell where you nibbled the outside jelly away and bit into it for the release of the juice.

Just popping in to say (for those craving Turkish delight) that I bought my son a box of Hotel Chocolat Turkish delight for Christmas and he said it was lovely. Not cheap, mind you, but it might be worth a try.

teeny tiny Hovis loaves! real English watercress in a great bunch, cut from flowing streams, Cottage loaves,

My son grows and sells watercress here in the UK. Would you like some?

Cafe Noir biscuits, love anything coffee flavoured, and these lovely biscuits with coffee icing hit the spot!

Raspberry Ruffle bars - Nan used to buy them for me! DH craves Panyam pickle - might that have been the curried one mentioned earlier?

Wasn’t it Panyan pickle?

Ooh ,it may have been that but I can’t remember, I only know we really liked it.

Oh yes, cottage loaves. They would be a price if baked now.

I remember these as they were my Mum’s delight, we would lick the coffee icing topping, savages that we were

I remember Barmouth biscuits and Lincoln, now heady.with palmoil which taints so much

Marks and Spencers baked cheesecake slices , which I think is like Russian Pashka . I have made it .
Duncan Walnut whips .
Fuller's walnut cake-4here is a recipe for this though I haven't tried to make it .
From the bakery -
an apple turnover filled with cream and a cake described as a cookie ,which had cream piped on the top .

They are baked now. My boss gave me one of his cottage loaves just before Christmas.
He's a great baker (and terribly good looking) so I rewarded him with a jar of my plum chutney.
Just a little encouragement keeps them keen.

Another one now.
Birds Eye did tiny pearl onions frozen and the packet contained small squares of frozen cream sauce which melted and thickened as it cooked.
They were delicious and we always had them with gammon instead of parsley sauce.
It would be easy to replicate I suppose but the onions were really small and would take hours and lots of patience to peel.

OMG I have hunted everywhere for those with no success. I love them.

Jamie Oliver gets them, different brand but the same tiny frozen onions. He must have a secret supply.

Shows. How bad my memory is! My daughter tells me it’s Samso (e).I just ordered some online
