Oxo Crisps. Discontinuing these was a national disgrace.1

Chicken rissoles from the 1970's. Can't remember the brand but they were delicious and probably full of banned flavourings. Preceded by a bag of Burton's Potato Puffs then washed down with a glass of luminous green Cresta.0

The old RACS store in Eltham High Street used to have a deli, where they sold process cheese that used to be cut from a big block.
Bloody loved that stuff and I'd pay good money to have some again with a homemade Scotch Egg.

I know, it still exists but not as we know it .....
I used to enjoy a Fray Bentos Steak and Kidney Pie. A couple of years ago, presumably so that they could continue to be sold in the Pound Shops, they effectively took out pretty much all the meat, leaving just the pastry and some gravy with a few indeterminate bits floating around - gross.2 -

Pot Light, & Pot Rice, from the Pot Noodle family. They were an early-mid 90s thing.
I loved those. Very sad when they disappeared.
I used to enjoy settling down with one, whilst watching Quantum Leap on a Tuesday night. (Bizarre ritual, funny old memory)1 -

I remember having something called pizza pockets as a kid. Think they went straight into the microwave and was done within a few minutes.
I don't think the skin at the top of my mouth has ever grown back after biting into them lava pouches.8 -
Loved the strawberry Mivvi!Baldybonce said:Mivi ice lolly
Another one gone is the Tongue Twister ice lolly(ice cream lolly), basically a neapolitan on a stick. Better than the Twister of today.0 -

There was a short lived lolly that was lemonade with cola in a Mickey Mouse shape. Sort of sorbet-like texture.Stefco said:

Are Cheese Footballs not as good as they used to be as well? Or perhaps I'm just more discerning/less drunk these days. (I see they are made by KP not Peek Freans.)CharltonKerry said:The proper Cheeselets, not the terrible modern treelets or whatever they call the fake intruders0 -

St Ivel Lactic Cheese - a soft cheese with a salty acidic bite, which came wrapped in foil inside a distinctive dark blue box with white printing . Delicious on toast or water biscuits.
