Oh no, Caramacs are still alive and kicking - Sainsbury's, our local newsagent at least.
Or, in desperation, you can do what my DS does and buy them by the box from eBay! Always a welcome Mothering Sunday gift (or Easter, birthday, Christmas.....?)

Old English Spangles. They had flavour not just coloured sugar.

Vienna biscuits - expensive, so a very rare treat! - which were triangles of dark chocolate covered wafers. Ooh, I can still taste them now!

Things I enjoyed in my youth were all sweet! Bought cakes were a treat when my mother always baked ours. The bought ones include:
Kunzel cakes.
Fullers strawberry layer cake.
Lyons square individual fruit pies.
Cremola foam crystals.

Right, Casdon, a trip to B&M will be on our agenda soon. Thank you.

Casdon Wed 10-Mar-21 09:42:55

You can still get Caramac grandmajet, they sell it in B&M, still lovely!

I used to love some jar sweets called Toffee Crunch, they looked like little pillows. I even did some research online to see if they are still made, but sadly not.

BlueSapphire Now you've reminded me I’d love one of those. I haven’t seen them in ages, but you can evidently buy them online.
I can’t think of anything unavailable, but I suddenly had a longing for Iced Gems last week. Haven’t eaten them for a long time but I bought a six-pack.

grandmajet Wed 10-Mar-21 09:27:32

Can you still get Caramac anywhere? I used to love it. I want some now please!

BlueSapphire Wed 10-Mar-21 09:22:21

Ooh yes, those Cafe Noir biscuits with coffee icing on top. Don't see them anywhere these days.

Hildagard Wed 10-Mar-21 09:09:37

Morning, I don’t have any idea why, but I had a yearning for a Royal Scot biscuit yesterday! Anyone else have a longing for now unavailable food?
