Food You Don't See Now
I love Rum Babas and Rum Truffles - haven't seen any in cake shops for ages - when I was pregnant with my daughter I had to eat a bag of truffles a day.
The solution is I suppose I could make them myself. Is there any food you yearn for that you can't find in shops now? Or even foreign food you'd like to be able to buy locally? |

For some reason the other week I had a nostalgic feel for a turkey escolape with cheese.
Used to have them all the time when I was a kid. I couldn't find them in any supermarket. They had basic breaded chicken/turkey but none with the cheese (or cheese & bacon/ham) under the breading. ![]() I know it's not a push to add a cheese sauce on top or even buy a parmo but it was the original that I was looking for. |

Not seen malt extract for a while. Used to get given a spoonful every day when I was a kid.

Tudor crisps. They had some great flavours in their range.
Also Tubes. Like a combination of Squares and Hula Hoops. |

Tudor were the best pickled onion.
I tried Seabrooks. They are lousy although better than the Canadian Ham. Cresta. It's frothy man. |

Creamola foam. Now that was frothy
![]() It made a comeback a few years ago. It might have just been in Scotland. Never seen it around here since I was a kid. |

I used to like carnation cream/milk in a tin - I tried what I thought was the same thing recently but it was thin and not sticky and sweet - it was also white whereas the other was a lovely goldeny colour.

There is evaporated milk and condensed.
Condensed is what you want. Campbell's used to do something called Omelette Mate. It was various omelette fillings in a tin. It was lovely. |

Luncheon meat. Not that I'd want to eat it now but it was everywhere in the 70s.

It's still available up here. I had some Ye Olde Oak stuff out of a tin ages ago and was physically sick minutes later. |

Fresh sliced or in a tin?

Whan I was a child someone opened a sweet shop in their front room here up north (they used to have them in the entrances to pubs sometimes) - they sold bags of different coloured sugary citrus flavoured kay-lie - or white powdered stuff that you'd dip liquorice in and which made your eyes water. Also liquorice wooden sticks which you chewed on until they went stringy - ahh happy days sitting on a wall in the sun reading the Beano and eating sweets! |

I don't know. My mother never bought it but other people seemed to offer it out all the time.
