Forgotten Foods

[Moctezuma]

I've been tinking lately with the significant improvements in reefers (refrigerated shipping containers) the number of tinned foods you actually see is really low now. Stuff like this:

 

 

I reckon if you opened a can of vegtables now in front of a kid they'd hold their nose at it and shout yuck.Are there any other food stuffs that are now out of circulation you can remember (nice tasting or otherwise)?

What did that taste like?

 

Was it akin to those 'grandpap's coming to bum you' Worthers originals?

pacers - green and white mint chew

 

Quattro - fizzy drink a bit like Lilt

Mint,blackcurrant, pineapple, banana and strawberry flavoured toffee

[Total Longo]

[The Golden Eel]

Pretty sure you can still get those ravioli things 

 

[Paulie Dangerously]

Toppers cereal.  Like mini shredded wheat with icing on 

[Teasmaid]

Nibbits Wheelz. Wheel shaped crisps that came in a massive bag, and cost 10p in the kwikky. Them were't days.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Is fucking right.

Still can - and do - get Heinz Ravioli. Lovely hangover food.

My brother was reminiscing about potted beef a while back, a tea-time staple from our past. He nearly wept when I bought him a jar

[Stouffer]

Micalena's macaroni cheese microwave meals; used to get them from Morrisons.

[Trumo]

Gino Ginelli ice cream.

[Atticus Finch]

I remember when Vesta curry & rice came out in the 70's thought it was all very exotic at the time, no one would eat that dehydrated sawdust now

[Tony Moanero]

Smiths Crisps Bovril Flavour

 

Mackintosh's Golden Cup

 

Fry's Five Centres

 

Monster Munch Sizzling Bacon

 

Burton's Potato Puffs

 

Hubba Bubba soda

 

Wall's Jumbo Jelly

 

My great aunt's homemade fruit cake.

 

Sweets and biscuits that were twice the size of the 21st century version. Yorkie, Wagon Wheels and Club biscuits, amongst others, are a disgrace.

Free Roland Rat stickers! Winner!

[Original202]

Triiiio, Triiiio. I want a Trio and I want one now!

 

And a Wispa bite and a Cadburys Fuse.

Burton's Potato Puffs

 

They used to sell those for 5p a bag in the tuck shop (just a table with Burton's Potato Puffs and pack-of-3 Jaffa Cakes) back in junior school.

I once overheard a crusty lad I know trying to pull some bird in the pub back to his van in the middle of nowhere by telling her he had a shitload of drugs and a Fray Bentos steak and kidney pudding.

 

[Moctezuma]

I thought Fray Bentos was still around or did all that horse stuff torpedo them?

[cloggypop]

They still sell them over here in specialist delicatessens.
