Sainsbugs have Foresight Pease Pudding online. 50p for 220g tin. Could you make it and freeze it or is it one of those home made things that aren't cost effective when energy costs etc are factored in?1

Nelliegrace said: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.

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

As far as I know, Mother's Pride (a sub-brand of the Hovis company) is now available only in Scotland.
Just to add: I too googled pease pudding and I will most definitely not be looking for it in the shops either0 -

Vimto in Tesco and Waitrose.
Steak and kidney pudding in Tesco (4 pack, frozen) and Waitrose (2 pack, expensive).1 -
Pease pudding - it tastes much nicer than it sounds. And looks. A lovely thick slather on a ham sandwich, you can't beat itAs I suspected, somebody has been adding soil to my garden. The plot thickens...1

Less a product that has vanished than an entire type that has been ruined. Both Waitrose and Morrisons used to sell 'premium' sausages with a high meat content (I suspect they might have come from the same source). A while ago both were reformulated with something called 'pea flour' as a substitute for breadcrumbs. A lot of other premium sausages have gone the same way.
Whether this was done for reasons of cost or (as I suspect) to appease all the misguided people who think 'gluten free' means 'better' I have no idea but it has resulted in the sausages having a really nasty, rubbery texture. It's now hard to find a good quality sausage that hasn't been similarly spoiled.
At least my local butcher hasn't followed suit - yet!2
