Couldn't agree more. How my sisters and I loved those Callard & Bowser nougats in their silver paper wrapper. Nothing like them ever since.

Apples eg: Cox’s which have NOT been stored and are still really crispy. In fact apples and pears, but doubt they will ever come back

Used to love Cremola, think it might have been semolina but yellow. Eating Thortons toffee, bought by loose weight, when I wasn’t worried about fillings, if I ate it now it would probably pull all my teeth out. Flying Saucers were a favourite too.

Our local baker. He made lovely artisan bread, but he closed in Covid and never re-opened. So sad.
