I love a bit of French Mustard, not Dijon or any fancy stuff, but the brown stuff.
Love it on my steak and in a Diane sauce.
But it's increasingly harder to find.
I have looked in Morrisons Tesco Asda Sainsburys none there.
Was in Waitrose in Kenilworth today and voila it was there so I stocked up on it.
So I will have to drive to Kenilworth every time I need some.
Also, not that I ever bought it, but Colmans used to do a German Mustard, you don't see that anymore.
Is there anything that you find hard to get hold of that used to be prominent?

Thought of another one.
Heinz steamed pudding in a tin.
Lob them in a pan of boiling water for 20 minutes, job done.
Used to love the Golden Syrup one.

Spicy pickled onions.

They've stopped making them sadly, used to like them myself

From time to time the German supermarkets get the sweeter German style mustard in

Half litre bottles of milk. I don't use very much and the litre bottles go off before I've used even half.

It's a fucking PINT!, not a half litre!

Has been since 2016.

Litre! Woke nonsense!

Gold tops.

My brothers and I always used to fight over the cream.

Tesco used to have a bigger range of burger relish. There used to be delicious tomato one but it disappeared about 5 years ago.

Eggs in packs bigger than 6

Just add milk and butter cheese cake mix. Used to love them as a kid.

Frozen omellets from Asda only a quid for two,an excellent primer with beans on toast for a pre-match feast.

We ran out of Colman's in the moho last week, so bought this in France (Alsace). Yeah, I know, it's German style, but pretty decent.
Oddly the company address is on Mahatma-Ghandi Strasse, Darmstadt. Is that the German equivalent of Del-boy's Nelson Mandela House?

Blue Band margerine, the second-biggest seller at one time and especially popular with people of Germanic descent like me.

Colt 45 or any American-style malt liquor for that matter.

I once asked a girl on the deli-counter if she had any pork scratchings and she looked at me as if I'd made an indecent proposal.

Tenuously linked. I’ve sworn blind recently that there used to be a cheese and onion popcorn sold late 90s/very early 00s but my wife and friends think I’m talking out my arse. It was in a blue packet and sold alongside crisps. Does anyone else remember this?

Toast toppers. Vomit in a tin thinking about it now.

ProfessorbyGrace · Oct 14, 2023

Tab Clear, around 1992 or 1993. Saying that, I think it was only ever a seasonal novelty, as I never saw it again.

I drank that stuff like a thirsty cave-kid.

Tommo1993 · Oct 14, 2023

Fucking trolleys and baskets

Never seen them but they’d make it more interesting, I guess.

It was clear Coca Cola, just a pretty pointless gimmick

Watneys party 7 …. You knew the party was on when you arrived with one of those under your arm and made your way to the kitchen where all the men gathered

RedSalmon · Oct 14, 2023

Sausage rolls in a tin, or have I imagined that?

RedSalmon · Oct 14, 2023

Asda used to do a duck and cherry pate, loved it.

I was certain you'd imagined that. Sounds mad.

However a 30 second internet search brought this up.

What were they like?
