My first offering is ...........

Pulled Pork.

A year ago ( maybe 2) it was everywhere. You could buy a franchise just majoring in this, it was in restaurants, street food, even spawned pulled chicken and pulled beef.

Now! It’s well off the radar.

What else was hot, now not?

Go back as far as you like.

Potato puffs, a sort of crisp for those who don't remember.

But pulled pork is in every supermarket I go to.

Pulled pork (and roast pork in a bun) was a big thing being served by vendors at public events and festivals, 2020 has put the kibosh on those so that may go some way to explaining their disappearance.

Chicken in a basket.

As a child my diet had a high paper napkin content due to the quantity stuck to the same.

and Mississippi mud pie.

Or is it because pulled pork is no longer deemed trendy or even ethical as everywhere has switched to vegan pulled jackfruit and other such cobblers?

Puffs were amazing and really should be brought back, as should piglet crisps along with cheese snaps.

Sunny Delight. That brightly coloured, overly sweet chemical cocktail that was everywhere in the late 90's.
Horrid stuff.

This pizza from asda.



It was my favourite and my go-to pizza. But for some reason they stopped selling them. For a long time many others did the same, no meat-feast stonebakked pizza... you'd get pepperoni, or american hot.
