Foods you cannot buy anymore/anywhere

Upgrade · 1 Dec 2013 at 19:38

Just thought of an idea for a thread, since my parents just came back from Scotland.

They brought back me some empire biscuits, which I cannot seem to find or buy anywhere in England. I don't know if anyone is familiar with them, but they have icing on top of a biscuit, with jam in the middle. They're so nice.

Is there any type of food you can longer buy, but you wish you could? Or any food that you cannot seem to find in stores by you?

Another is curry twiglets. A good few years ago they came out with a curry flavour, which were so damn nice, but apparently they are now discontinued and only do the crappy original flavour now.

Empire Biscuits are still sold in most Morrisons

I used to like the Tyne Brand pies, a bit like the Frey Bentos pies, but a lot nicer. Shame you can't get them now.

Not surprised these have disappeared, never liked the taste of them.

That's because you're from Scotland

In stores here I can't seem to buy them. Google says they're particularly popular in Scotland, so I guess that's why.

Yeah, they were a bit crap. I still ate them though when I was a kid.

Wagon Wheels are still in production. If you want human flesh just go to most Blackpool kebab shops.

I remember when I was a kid we had Tiger Bread and a cereal called Puffa Puffa Rice. They were the best.

You can still get Wagon Wheels! They're just a lot smaller than they used to be.

I wish they still made the Cadbury Spira, and Cadbury Snaps (they were like Pringles, but chocolate - weren't around for very long about 4-5 years ago)

Wilkinsons sell them.

As stated though,they're MUCH smaller than they use to be!

I miss the Pot Noodle Rice,They were around for a while but stopped them due to the whole re-heating rice situation...they were quite nice though.

I thought Wagon Wheels had died a deserved and overdue death, too, only to arrive at work yesterday to find the snacks bowl ful of them.

Horse meat. It was everywhere a couple of years ago but you (probably) can't get it anywhere now.

Ahh yes, Snaps. I could eat a whole box no problem. Very very moreish.

Some people live in caves? Tiger bread and wagon wheels are sold in every supermarket :confused:

Sliver · 1 Dec 2013 at 19:54

So Wagon Wheels are still around. I am with many sads now.

What about that space dust ? Remember that ? You poured it on your tongue and it crackled and made your mouth feel funny.

Middle bacon.
