Anyone remember 'Piglets' crunchy potato snacks? Dunno why, but just reading the latest replies on here reminded me of them - they weren't very good! Nothing like mild curry Ringos anyhow....

I was going to nominate Brannigan's Beef and Mustard crisps, but when Googling for a pic it turns out that you can still get them thumbup



The Lamb and mint ones were good too.
The greatest crisps of all time.

Packet tomato soup. Not the instant cup a soup stuff but the radioactive stuff you could see in space. It was an integral part of a favourite recipe from student days. No one seems to do it anymore.

Then there was the spaghetti bolognaise pizza. Another fluorescent concoction. Who sold that?

Finally Marks and Sparks used to do a triangular potato based biscuity snack. In aqua green bags. God knows I bought enough to ensure they had enough sales.

Then there was a short period when you could buy a nameless product that was a poor imitation of something my mother used to make. Imagine a Scotch egg but filled with baked beans instead of the boiled egg. Also coated with radioactive bread crumbs visible in space and deep fried.

There's a shop in Brighton that sells all sorts of foreign sweets, Tab included.
Cybercandy

http://www.cybercandy.co.uk/

They've got two shops in London too.

Oh, and my local Tesco has an 'American' foods section now. American candy bars, Lucky Charms, US Pop Tart flavours, Cherry Pepsi, A1 Steak Sauce, Hamburger Helper, et al.

I know this is replying to your answer from aaaaages ago but, my mate Eddie who used to brew at a Firkin pub started his own brewery a while back and brews his own version of 'Dogbolter'. It is bloody great too: http://www.ramsgatebrewery.co.uk/dogbolter.html

The bacon & bean ones were my favourite crisps! Loved them. I've posted on here about them before, hardly any of my friends remember them!

I used to love 'Funny feet', really creamy ice-cream, article here on its comeback: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2408352/19...

I think you may have remembered Piglets flavour a bit wrong (well it was a long time ago hehe) they were Smoky bacon or Pickled onion. I never really enjoyed them, because they were so fragile you always ended up with half a bag of bits, funny I can still imagine crunching on those funny little hollow things....

What about these:
