Food 'they' don't make any more

[Joseph K]

What food do you wish was still available? I used the word 'they' in inverted commas because it's a nebulous concept... though in practice probably means supermarkets...

1) Honey nut bran flakes. These were great - sugary for sure, but with that healthy bran.

2) Cheesy loaf of bread. This was really nice - from Sainsbury's back in the day, I recall. Must have been about 20 years ago, I recall, since I had ham sandwiches with this bread, so was before I went veggie.

3) A kind of Cadbury's variety of chocolate biscuit which was more stiff than your usual biscuit - and tastier, for that matter. Very tasty indeed, wish I could remember what it was called, exactly. Last remember having these 10 years' ago.

Waitrose used to have baked beans in a tomato sauce that also had apple juice in it. They were fantastic.

Really! That sounds odd - but I'll take your word for it that it was nice.

Back in the mid 80s. It was just a base for the sauce. You couldn’t taste the apple, but they were definitely my favourite ever beans, and I really like baked beans!
So much so in fact, that I spent one summer working as a kitchen porter in the cafe at Longleat, where beans were a non negotiable menu item.
I did actually go off them for a short while, but got over it.


Be interested to find out what the chocolate biscuit was JK. And surely there must be a decent cheesy loaf around ?

I really like the Co-op onion small baguettes. Which they still make, so is off topic I guess.

I like baked beans too. Had them for tea with pizza and garlic bread.

The biscuits were Cadbury's. Actually - to tell the truth, I haven't actually checked to make sure they're no longer available! I just assumed...

I've seen rolls with cheese on top of them. But you're right - there should be some bakery somewhere, perhaps in a large city, where they make a cheesy loaf.

A local baker here does a Cheese and Marmite loaf - I love it! He has also recently started doing marmite flavoured cheese straws occasionally, also delicious .

Do you mean Angel Delight? Still available in Aldi, I discovered the other day.

Cremola - a rice based custard-like desert. Really scrumptious.

Fru-Grains. An expensive cereal that was sold in health food shops and later in some supermarkets.

No they are not the same thing.
