What discontinued food do you miss?

Where has all the Puffed Wheat gone?

Royal Scot biscuits!

That's right Jacq10. I remember the brown glaze on top. Those cookies were also nice plain and split and spread with jam. Homemade rasp jam is wonderful!

Alexa - remember your cream cookies very well! My mother always had them ordered from the baker's van that came round and as an extra treat she would open them up and put in a spoonfull of homemade rasp jam. Heaven! They had a shiny top on them which I think was a syrup glaze.

I 'd rather buy a small tin of salmon and mashit up with black pepper and salad cream. Very nice on a toasted half roll.
There is very little food I actively dislike. Tripe I hate the look of all those holes.

The sudden disappearance of gypsy creams haunts me when I'm searching the biscuit shelves and I wonder why? Why?

My favourite biscuits were gypsy creams and royal Scot. Nothing else quite like them.

Yes they were Alexa that's them! I may have to go and track one down when the weather improves.

Ha Daddima, you must have one of these new fangled phones that takes photos!

alexa, we still get the pineapple cakes! In our local co-op, the shelves were plundered, but if you look at the secon shelf from the bottom, you’ll see some left!

KatyK I remember those pineapple cream cakes . They were pineapple chunks and cream piled onto a short crust pastry weren't they?

I miss gypsy creams biscuits and barmouth biscuits.
I miss Creamola Foam.

There used to be a teabread thing called a cookie, when I lived in Scotland as a child. They were sometimes stuffed with whipped cream and called cream cookies. Like brioche buns but a lot lighter in texture.

Diggingdoris, cornflour is what blancmange is and its easy to find. You just add a flavouring to the cornflour.

SueDoku I don't know whether you noticed my earlier post about Ice Magic? I recently discovered a very similar product made by Askeys, called 'Crackin'. I bought the chocolate one and I seem to remember there was also a caramel flavoured one too.

I don't know if it is discontinued but I haven't been able to find it - Royal (I think the brand is) lemon meringue pie filling. When I've tried to do it myself, the texture isn't right and the mixture is too sour.

And I think Instant Whip must have been discontinued too. I used to love it as a child. (I've just noticed someone else has mentioned it)

I used to love those pineapple cream cakes. I think I would find them very sickly now. I also loved fish paste sandwiches. In fact I bought a jar of fish paste the other day and have just had fish paste on toast. Very nostalgic.

Didn't think this thread was of interest to me until this morning. Decided that porridge was good comfort food this morning and while it was cooking remembered have top of the milk on my porridge as a child. On a day like today that would be good.

Old Jamaica chocolate.

I think Lyons did a fruit pie in pineapple , which was lovely. I had them for my school packed lunch with Sandwich spread sandwiches. perfect

Nice to have brought back memories of food in yesteryear! Now I’m wondering which sweets do you miss? I used to love hazelnut creams ..... I think I used to buy them from Maynards ...... little pink fondants with a hazelnut on top .... lush! You can’t even get them from those resurrected sweet sites.

As a child I used to love the square Lyons individual fruit pies in apple, blackcurrant or apricot. They were replaced by round ones which were never the same.

Not discontinued, but why do supermarkets sell most pork and bacon without the rind, which for me is the tastiest part. Thank goodness I have a local butcher!

Grannybuy, two of us have mentioned coffee crisp

Aztec bars, Oh yes Coconut with cherries if I remember rightly

So many favourites mentioned here..! Willow500 the chocolate bar was called Trio - I used to love to try to lever the layers apart with my tongue without breaking them
Instant whip..! My regular real-time treat as a child - and Ice Magic, the chocolate that went hard when squeezed onto ice-cream... My MIL used to buy it for when the DGC went to tea at her house, it was their special treat from her...
