Does anyone crave something that's no longer available?

I miss a salsa that was made from a local mexican restaurant. We loved them so much, not a chain, a family restaurant. We ate there at least once a week for 30 years. They did get their salsa into one of our grocery stores.

It was a given that they would have a quart ready with chips for me to take home after our meal. I often had to just go and get more in the week. My son got addicted when he was in my belly and also was a big fan. With a teenage boy in the house, his friends coming by, it was a staple.

Like we all do, they aged, and it came time for retirement. Such a loss as there children did not take over.

I try every new salsa that comes into the market place. I found one eventually that was close. I bought it a case at a time, stored it under my bed, LOL. Then they too disappeared. I have three jars of new varieties in my fridge now. Still have not found one that deserves in purchase by the case.
 

Muffets. Shredded Wheat is passable but still not Muffets.

Vernors Ginger Ale. Sure, I could fly back to Ontario, buy a 12 pack and drink one can. I don’t even wait for it to be on sale. It’s a rather expensive treat.

Metal gas cans for your lawnmower! They lasted almost forever, and were easy to use. Mower cans now are almost all plastic, I just had one leak at the molded seams, and they have blasted “safety valves” that make them harder to use…Grrr!

There was a local Chinese buffet restaurant that had this hot mustard. It had a slightly chemical taste, but a good taste. When you ate it, it cleared your sinuses- ya knew you just ate mustard!!!!!!!! The new Chinese place doesn't have that mustard.

My local Chinese buffet has their super hot mustard in a big can with a ladle right next to the salad dressings. My brother thought it was a honey mustard dressing and poured it liberally on his salad and took a big bite. I think it actually hurt really bad, but. at the time, we couldn't quit laughing at him.

I know what you mean. You feel bad for laughing but... :rolleyes:

Kind of belongs in the same category as someone slipping on a banana peel.
