What were these things called?

[13aines]

More than ten years ago I remember really enjoying these little dark golden brown crunchy onion and garlic flavoured slice-of-bread-shaped (like cheap sliced white) crouton-y things. No idea what they were called. Googling hasn't turned up anything.

You used to find them with the crisps and snacks in the supermarket. They came in sharing peanuts sized bags, rather than individual serving sized bags, or sharing crisps sized bags.

I can't find them in the snack isles any more. Were they a figment of my imagination?! Does anyone else remember them, and know where you can still buy them?

Sounds like bruschetta

If it's that sort of thing, Tesco sell them. Typically they're on the deli counter next to the olives and cold cuts.

I instantly thought of Phileas Fogg Mignons Morceaux, which I used to love, but the packaging doesn't fit with your memory... Could there have been a smaller pack size version...

I think we're on the right track with mignons morceaux! I enjoyed them as a kid - in the late 90s early 00's I reckon.

I think I only ever had supermarket-own ones. I remember them being the shape of cheap white sliced bread, no bigger than a couple of postage stamps. Very crunchy, and salty, garlicy and oniony.

Yes, there definitely used to be small-size packets of these, used to eat them a lot!

Apparently these were a good substitute, but no longer available.

I will take a look! I suspect they're not deep fried and laden with salt and other flavourings any more...

You're right, they're baked!

I have had these over here in Austria and they are good, come in various flavours and sold near the crisps (Although the crisps here are not sold in small bags, just the big family/grab bag sizes which is weird!)



ETA - Beaten to it, I should have refreshed the page before replying... Anyway would recommend them they are pretty tasty

Definitely mignons morceaux, I used to love those.

I used to like them too! However, my favourites were the California Corn Chips followed closely by the pastrami flavoured Bagel Chips. Both were snacktastic, I could eat packets of them, I wish we could still get them today.
