I have never forgiven Greggs for drastically reducing their cake range. Pineapple creams went years ago, dairy scones and I’m sure they used to do turnovers with fresh cream in them as well.Striving to clear the mortgage before it finishes in Dec 2028 - amount currently owed - £26,322.671

I hate it when ingredients get changed, I am sure these were not in Cadbury’s Dairy Milk in the past.
Vegetable Fats (Palm, Shea), Emulsifiers (E442, E476), Flavourings.
I’m not buying that.
So the popular chocolate bar we knew is no longer available.2 -
Hunza apricots
They used to be available, dried, in healthfood shops. Haven't seen them for years0 -
I've seen steak & kidney pud on B&M website. Morrisons usually has offal. Try a local butcher, too.
Irish Spring is the American equivalent of Shield. I buy a pack of 24, which lasts DH a year.
Vimto.. no idea but if you want cheap Irn-Bru, B&M is cheapest.1 -
I know I'm stretching 'food' a bit but Stone's Special Reserve ginger wine disappeared from my local Waitrose 2 months ago, now discontinued, it cannot be found. This of course is in addition to the Crabbies green ginger wine which disappeared from supermarkets about 3 years ago. Aldi's Church's ginger wine is out of season (Christmas only).
I'm off to the next town this morning to try to pick up some Morrisons own label green ginger wine, which isn't bad.
Two things:
- standard grain whiskies need it for the 'Whisky Mac'
- Stone's standard ginger wine is ubiquitous and horrible

I used to like the "Birds appeal" or "Rise and Shine" powdered orange juice drink. Very tangy and refreshing.2

As kids we used to call s+k pudding snake and pygmy pudding
I've seen pease pudding in either B+M or Home Bargains. It's those wee round tubs that sandwich stuffs come in. Lovely in a ham sandwich. Yum.
I used to love beef Frisps. I'd give me eye teeth for a lovely big bag of them.I removed the shell from my racing snail, but now it's more sluggish than ever.1
