I was really disappointed when Force wheatflakes was discontinued and there’s nothing new that’s comparable.

Sainsbury’s all butter frozen block short crust pastry, my own pastry gets stuck in the roof of your mouthgrin

Sainsburys frozen creamed spinach. Sold in a block; it was brilliant for a quick lunch with a poached egg.

Quaker Oat Krunchies
Kellogg's Puffa Puffa Rice

Sooo much

(Also M&S used to do a mixed grain pouch called super wheatberry - it was the perfect mix and none of the ones they do now are anywhere near as good)

Heinz Toast toppers

My my mum used to buy us Cheese Whiz in a jar. I think it was made by Kraft foods. Best cheese spread ever, and a lovely orange colour. Also an orange flavoured fizzy drink that you mixed into water I think it was called Koolose or something like that. It was a powder, in a jar, and utterly delicious.

Pork chops with the kidney attached. Perhaps we can get them back after Brexit.

Ayton sandwich biscuits, I think they might have been Scottish, my Mum used to buy them, , they we're lovely,

grannyinmypocket Tue 27-Feb-18 10:55:19

Were lovely!

lamb rissoles - findus i think. they had pearl barley in them as well as the lamb - delicious.
instant whip - went further than angel delight.
bournevita - loved it but couldn't get on with ovaltine.

A very long time ago - Haza tomato sauce. When I was little I couldn't eat a fried egg without it.

Superwhip synthetic ice cream.
Tasty Tatties. Frozen cubes of potato, peas and onions in a lovely coating.

Morrison's Honey Cornflakes (no nuts!)

ReadyMeals Tue 27-Feb-18 11:13:23

Bulmers organic cider ((I think it was called) only around for about a year and was about 10 years ago or so. Only about 3% alcohol which is how I like it so I can have 2 drinks. I don't want to have the no-alcohol stuff. It also had a lovely fresh taste

Nutty bars.... a huge finger of fudge with peanuts stuck all around it...

I don’t know why I crave it so much, it was discontinued so long ago and I’ve developed a peanut allergy since then so couldn’t have it anyway hmm grin

Fox's extra large and thick arrowroot biscuits

Speldnan Tue 27-Feb-18 11:18:28

Hollycat I used to eat those pork chops all the time in the 70s, didn’t really notice when the kidney disappeared but does anyone eat kidney and liver these days I wonder? I must say I don’t anymore

GabriellaG Tue 27-Feb-18 11:24:12

Wow!! I used to buy Force, the most recent time was in Tesco circa 1998.

missdeke Tue 27-Feb-18 11:26:15

Definitely miss Force wheatflakes. Brown & Polson custard ans Symingtons soups.

GabriellaG Tue 27-Feb-18 11:27:36

M&S kedgeree and Sainsbury's Jaffa cake ice cream in a tub. No cake but it had the same tasting orange sauce and dark choc swirls in a lush vanilla ice-cream.

Love liver and onions with mashed potatoes and veg. It’s the only time I would eat mash (apart from on the top of shepherds pie) with lots of lovely onion-y gravy.
Think that will have to go on this weeks shopping list!

St Ivel Gold spread - my daughter and I still reminisce longingly over that on hot toast

sue01 Tue 27-Feb-18 11:30:04

Whatever happened to Mutton ? I love it !

gmac Tue 27-Feb-18 11:31:41

Heinz Vegetable Salad in a tin. Haven't seen it for years and it was yummy.
