Snacks

I have to search for savoury over sweet biscuits and snacks now being diabetic2 . I think Beth mentioned the newish Sunbites which I liked,prefer the plainer version but my Coop only stocks the chilli one,little and not often. Recently found the Eat Real company's Quinoa chips ,again a little but not to often,good different flavour and more expensive though comes in a largeish pack.....Quinoa is healthy ;-)

Once upon a time, many years ago, there were boxes of "Cocktail Biscuits" which were made I think by Huntley ands Palmers. They were very moreish and had a variety of flavours, cheese straws, celery, tomato,(my favourite), as well as cheese footballs and some plainer ones. They returned after the war ended and were around for a long time but then disappeared, I have tried to find or something similar for years but with no success. And no one as far as I can find out makes tomato and salted crisps.

Amazon also have this in packs of 6:

Crispy M&Ms. The ones in the blue bag. I've had chocolate and peanuts ones but not the crispy and they're a confectionary revelation! The bag went in an embarrassingly short amount of time. Well it did say 'treat' on the front!

This is mainly a moan about Cadburys.
Does anyone think the chocolate tastes different? Not the big blocks of Dairy Milk and While But etc, but items covered in the chocolate.

I've just ate a Cadbury Snack bar. It's two smaller shortbread type biscuits covered in chocolate (there's 2 biscuits in a packet and 6 packets in a pack. About £1) I love these but haven't had them for ages, but have had about 3 in the last month and none of them tasted like Cadbury, or the way they used to taste.

And I got a bag of the Cadbury mini fingers (the resealable bag with smaller half size fingers) and that was the same. It tasted like a cheapo version.
In Home Bargains they do a bag of finger biscuits for 79p and theyre actually Cadbury fingers but the ones that didn't make it to the final, broken ones, or little bits of chocolate missed by the machine. These are usually brilliant, taste of Cadbury but much cheaper (79p for 350g! Proper Fingers are about £1 for 115g) but again the last few bags have tasted 'off', which is why I brought the official Cadbury ones yesterday but as I say these just don't taste like Cadbury.

I wish they'd just leave things as they are.

I agree: a lot of my favourite chocolate products don't taste the same these days. At first I thought it was because I was ageing and my taste buds were changing. But in fact, I try these days not to gobble my food, but to savour it. So some things I now perceive as even tastier than I used to think they were!

There's no doubt that they have 'degraded' the quality of chocolate. Maybe they thought that we were so greedy and stupid, we wouldn't notice!
