FabSwingers.com forum: Discontinued foods you loved

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

A sad, melancholy thread, but what foodstuffs did you genuinely love and were heartbroken when they stopped them?

For me:

Marmite Gold. Why make it a limited edition? Why?!?!

Thorntons Eden chocolates

Cadbury Dairy Milk Silvery Creme bar. Stupid "Olympics" edition. Why finish just because the Olympics did?

A couple of years back,tescos sold Turkey thigh on the bone.it was delicious roasted,the only part of a turkey I like.they then stopped selling it.why?

They still sell Turkey drumsticks(full of sinew and practically inedible),so what happens to the thigh?

Bring back Turkey thigh I say.

Frys Turkish delight..

Not the dreadful Cadbury offering we get now.

I used to like Cabana bars.. Like a single bounty with cherries in.

And Nutty bars, fudge, jam coating, covered in peanuts!

When my husband and I were dating, he used to get me (and him) McDonalds breakfasts in bed, as I lived very near one.

Those were discontinued long ago, but I still have the memories!

Good times.

Heinz baked beans, before they started fiddling with the sauce recipe. Don't say they haven't because they have. The baked beans they sell today are not the same as they were 30 years ago.

The old fashioned sweet shop down here sells the proper midget gems and when I go in I get them put as many black ones in as they can. Was totally gutted when they put the blackcurrent ones in the Maynards packs.
