yea, not sure whether the op meant food you remember from the 80's that you can't get now or just food from the 80's

KP (i think) used to do tandoori flavoured crisps - jesus they were lovely.

Heinz Chicken & Mushroom Toast Toppers! My dad worked at Heinz in Park Royal, London so as a child I used to get tons of the stuff for free and it was godly until they ruined the recipe decades later. You can find tins in the odd european store here and there but they just aren't the same.
