MAW:I got Brains faggots with my Tesco delivery the other week
NotToOld: We went to a wedding a few years ago at the reception they came around with Canapes, I would swear it was Toast Toppers on small pieces of toast. Ham & cheese flavour.
What about frozen Savoury pancakes, with either a beef mince in gravy or cheese. My daughter and I used to love them.

I used to love toast toppers too 62Granny.
you can still buy the frozen savoury crispy pancakes in supermarkets but they're made by Bird's Eye now where as the original ones were Findus.

As a child I loved Koolose, a fizzy orangey flavoured powder that you mixed with water to make a delicious drink. It came in a jar wrapped in orange cellophane.
Also Clarnico peppermint creams. sad

Maw Iceland do them and there's 10% off on a Tuesday, must admit I prefer them to fresh ones which is DH's preference.

Wow! @ 62Granny and others… result!
I loved them AND they’re cheap as chips (or were …..)

Sorry, kitty! It's just me jumping in commiting the sin of Not Reading The Whole Thread again 😂

Does commiting have two tt?

Braine's Faggots?

You can still get these.

Think you might still be able to get Brain's Faggots, Maw. We saw some somewhere recently - DH got really excited. I, on the other hand, didn't.

Nibbits - little puffed potato pieces with tomato flavouring. Light and crispy and utterly more-ish.

Toast Toppers. Whatever happened to those?

Creamola was a favourite in our house.

As a child I loved Bird’s Instant Whip. Then they changed it to Angel Delight, totally different and sickly sweet.

Whatever happened to Chesswood creamed mushrooms? Also Biotex? Are there any once popular products that you miss?
