Food you dont see anymore

[SMEE]

Which food from the past seem to have dissappeared into oblivion? Can be anything edible.

I would like to put forward Munros pies (the best pies in history, with the tastiest ever pastry). I also used to enjoy WM Lows curry pies which had a sticky sweet sauce on the top.

From sweeties..there was splicer, the multi flavoured chewy bar, cabanas (not dissimilar to bountys) and spangles

Do those packets of dried Vesta curries still exist - they were quite the thing at one time before Indian takeaways reached the North.

God knows what was in them, or most of the stuff from takeaways come to that.

Myrtle's pies (simply the best !), Edgar's steak pies, Stratton ice cream, Cremola foam, Callard & Bowser's creamline toffees.

Do you still get the Scotch mince pies with mashed potato and baked beans on top?  Never see them down here in southern Englandshire!

Sorry about the repeated reply, there was an " Ooops, Brain fart" just after I'd posted first reply and I wasn't sure if it had gone!  So thats 2 dozen pies I'll have to find room for!

I am surprised Smee has not mentioned one of his old employers ie The Telford Bakery,  :023:  which used to be next to Merkinch school, they made lovely morning rolls amoungest other things.

I miss Texan bars also, they gave your jaw one **** of a workout as did another sweet that does not seem to be around anymore," Football Chums" they had a really strange taste but you could get them for a half p from Cambell Allans van so I bought at least 2 at a time  :004:

Cremola foam is a great loss.

[Kingsmills]

Mutton ( as opposed to lamb) is a thing you just don't see anymore.

[Fanoffooty]

Cremola foam is a great loss.

 

  I totally agree , it was magic  :crazy07:

[PullMyFinger]

Nutty bars, peanut covered chewy toffee bar.

That's because in this hyperbolic age, all "sheep meat" tends to be called "lamb"!

You still can buy packets of fizzy Flying Saucers. I got them for my kids in TESCO inshes a month ago. What fun i had telling them they were toys. They were playing with them for 20 mins before i came clean. The look on their face was priceless wen i took one off them and ate it :015:

[RednBlackComeback]

10p mixtures

Wham bars

pacers

football chews....(loved them)

cola cubes?

[wyness_is_god]

Food you dont see anymore is usually anything i buy at a certain Sommerfield store in the North of Scotland :017:

Anything i seem to buy more than 3 times usually does'nt show up again for a long time or sometimes completley taken off the shelfs.

The way they stock up is absolutley shocking too, The amount of times i've gone in on a Friday Afternoon for food for the weekend, Lack of Bread, Lack of Milk, Most things close to or bordering the sell by date  :018: :018: :018: Even on a Monday the lack of stock can be terrible.

[Kingsmills]

Sounds very much like my local Co-op supermarket !

[RichieKass]

Ne1 remember TAB clear? came in a transparrent can and it was clear cola????
