That's because you're from Scotland

In stores here I can't seem to buy them. Google says they're particularly popular in Scotland, so I guess that's why.

I'll get some in the post then

Puffa Puffa Rice.

That cereal was amazing! Also, Frys five centres. Most other things I can think of that I really miss is stuff that I used to get in Germany. In particular Jagerschnitzel...... oh how I miss it.

Middle bacon.

They still sell that in tesco and I'm sure in a lot of other places as well.

I remember Puffa Puffa Rice from when I was a kid.

What about McDonald's pizza. Anyone else remember those?

Does anyone remember "Pyramint" from the late 1980s? Same idea as Cadbury's crème egg but obviously pyramid-shaped and with mint inside.

There was also Matchmakers, not seem them for 20-odd years, but I saw them the other day in Sainsbury's in their Christmas/seasonal aisle.

Then you have Cadbury's Whisper Gold. They were exclusive to 1996, disappeared, then came back a few years ago, again for a year only I think. Not sure if they're around now.

Texan bar, damn chewy & didn't half give your jaw a workout.

Anyone remember gino ginellie pizzas? The base was kinda multi layered if you know what i mean.
Oh and pizza wiches, triangle of chicken with pizza sauce and cheese on top in breadcrums.

Texan Bar.. Loved these chewy bars as kid

There was a dry spell with Cheeselets, then they came back but they're sort of disgusting now. So I guess my answer is good Cheeselets.

You could just make the pizza yourself.

You could say that for a lot of things though, but it wouldn't taste the same. Baked bean pizza (they did more than just cheese toppings) is not really something I'd probably eat now, but as a 20 something in the 90s who had moved out it was a common meal.

I could make a Calzone but it wouldn't taste like the one I had in Milan in 1997 after I watched the Italian Grand Prix.
