Is there a food you love that is no longer available?

Vesta Chow Mein. This was a noodle dish sold in dehydrated form in the UK. It was one of a 'meal in a box' range first sold around the late '60s. Inside the box were three sachets of dried ingredients, plus a little sachet of soy sauce. You put the contents of the meat and veg sauce (first sachet) in water, boiled it and cooked it for 5 minites, then in went the noodles (second sachet) and you simmered for 15 minutes. There was a third sachet with 'crispy noodles' which you fried; they puffed up and were delicious. These, together with the soy sauce, went on top when you served the meal.



First of all, they started to get more difficult to get hold of. Takeaways and frozen ready meals were displacing them. Then they changed the 'crispy noodles' to something different, which further diminished the appeal of the dish. Were they trying to justify discontinuing it? I can't find it actually in stock anywhere!

The chef's special at my local India restaurant, it was the nicest curry I've ever tasted and everyone loved it. He went to work at another restaurant miles away, other chefs have tried to copy it but none have come close.

Vitasia Tom Yum paste and Massaman paste. They were so great for curry.

Whole almond cream milk chocolate by Fin Carré. Probably the only chocolate that actually had peeled roasted almonds in it that I knew about. All the others have the peels. The chocolate itself was so creamy and delicious..

Now they probably discontinued my favorite rooibos tea. 😠 I guess I will have to visit some distant store to check if they still have it there and buy it all off.

A little loxal bakery closed down a few years ago. They used to sell ham and cheese sausage rolls with poppy seed coating.

Banana Planks from my childhood. Not sure if it's still around. I would love to come home from work and binge eat them lol

i really miss the sauce stuffed crust pizzas freschetta used to make. and the tabasco garlic version. and marathon bars

The Vegetarian Sub on wheat from Sub Shop in Columbia, Missouri. They closed year before last after 49 years. 😞
