Treats that are no longer available

I used to love American Cream Soda sherbet with a liquorice oar to dip in. Sherbet dabs don't last 2 seconds whereas the oars lasted ages

Grandma jet I have a friend who is a Caramac addict. Morrisons seems to be where she buys her stash.

Does anyone know a good old fashioned butterscotch like Keillers. I have tried many but they are nothing like it.

My husband loved Royal Scott biscuits.

Waitrose still sell Cafe Noir biscuits and they are just as good!

Niochorio

I used to love Four Boys chocolate bars ( just chocolate, not filled with anything). I think it was imprinted with pictures of boys heads on it. Not many people seem to remember it, am I imagining it?

My DH remembers Four Boys chocolate boys, but I don't. He's mentioned them before. So you haven't made it up!

My local newsagents sold Chocolate Covered Dates that were weighed out for you as were Liquorice Allsorts.

I used to buy frozen plaice in breadcrumbs filled with prawns in a white wine sauce. They seem to have stopped doing them although I look every time I shop there just in case. Not only were they delicious but it was a really easy meal with some frozen veg! I must write to Tesco and ask if they are still available anywhere. The last time I got them I really wished I'd filled my freezer up!

Does anyone remember sweets coming off ration for the Queen's Coronation in June 1953. I liked Refreshers ,Spangles and Aniseed balls.Sadly I became a diabetic (aged 10 )eight months later ,and that was the end of sweets. I do however indulge occasionally and still enjoy aniseed balls .

Gray Dunn's Hampden wafers! Loved them when I was wee.

When I was a child I was so addicted to Lyons square apricot fruit pies that my Mum took me to the GP as she was worried about my diet. I would love one now. I would also like to try another Aztec bar.

I used to save my pocket money and would buy Old Jamaica chocolate bar and would make it last for 2 or 3 days..They brought it back again recently but somehow it wasn't the same.

Does anyone remember the old penny lollies? One suck and you had plain ice on a stick!

Weekend chocolates and candies in a box. They were always my favourite choc box. The lime fondant ones were my favourite.

Lincoln biscuits, I can smell them now. Lovely

grandmajet. Caramac are still available!!

We have a shop specialising in old fashioned sweets but they are never as I remember them as a child. I loved flying saucers filled with sherbet, ropes of liquorice, Barrett’s sweet cigarettes, liquorice all sorts. The modern versions seem meaner and less flavoursome and, of course, you would never get sweet cigarettes now. Every Saturday, my modest pocket money would all be spent on these. A childhood filled with visits to the dentist!

My grandad used to have bags of raspberry ruffles, and Nuttals Mintos (not sure of spelling?) and I found a lovely little shop in Bath which sells all of those sorts of sweets - pear drops, pineapple chunks, sweet peanuts, rhubarb and custard sweets, etc. All sold loose from jars, and wrapped in a paper bag the way sweets used to be sold. . I so hope thus shop has survived the lockdown and a return visit will possible in the future. Its near the Abbey, if anyone on here is planning a visit to Bath one fine day.

Well it’s a treat that is only not available because of lockdown but I really miss Costa toast!

OK Sauce

Old Jamaica chocolate. Can still watch the advert in my mind’s eye. Tiffin chcolate bar with the little biscuits in. Potato puffs. Oh the grease ... LOL. Proper walnut whips. And yes. The bars of Milk Tray

But be wary if you have high blood pressure.

Sue Lindsey- Me too! In fact I was craving it so much I ordered a block of marzipan and a bar of plain chocolate with my last Sainsbury’s delivery- and made chocolate covered marzipan balls!

I can remember hating Ovaltine as a drink, but would eat it by the spoonful when no one was about. I even remember spending my whole pocket money on a tin to eat.
