13634. Halo - 2/3/2005 1:46:11 AM I hate it when stuff you like is discontinued, it's anoying in and of itself and, like Ms. No, it makes you wonder if you've been making the wrong choices all along. 13635. Halo - 2/3/2005 1:49:08 AM That post was motivated by my favourte curry paste being sudddenly discontinued, now all my recipes have to be rejigged.
Back to your regular programming. 13636. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 1:49:26 AM Hello, Halo! 13637. judithathome - 2/3/2005 1:49:43 AM Congrats, Wonk!!! 13638. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 1:51:07 AM Curry paste? Never heard that existed, I know curry powder, though. 13639. robertjayb - 2/3/2005 1:51:30 AM All hail the bringer of justice. Well done, wonkers2. 13640. judithathome - 2/3/2005 1:51:39 AM Halo, when something I love and have been using for a long time is discontinued, I feel they just don't know a good thing when they see it. It pisses me off that are so short sighted. I usually write a long letter, predicting doom for their company if they continue to make such bad decisions. 13641. arkymalarky - 2/3/2005 1:53:55 AM I felt that way when they quit making green Pixy Stix. After a couple of years I seem to have finally adjusted. And no, I'm not kidding.
Congrats Wonk! 13642. Halo - 2/3/2005 1:59:15 AM Hi Magoseph
Curry paste is the proper base for curries, tradionally it is made and stored in one's own kitchen from old family recipes.
I look on the supermarket shelvss at things in jars that haven't changed since the war, in fact I suspect they're the same jars - I'm in London after all. BUT, my nice curry paste has the dreaded label "discontinued". I bought the last 4 jars which will last me 6 months but it's the principle! 13643. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 2:05:33 AM Are you English, Halo? 13644. Halo - 2/3/2005 2:43:02 AM No, I am Australian born. 13645. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 3:04:59 AM Good night, Halo--please, come back soon! 13646. wonkers2 - 2/3/2005 7:30:07 AM Thanks, all. W2 13647. Macnas - 2/3/2005 11:46:29 AM Wonk, good on you. 13648. alistairconnor - 2/3/2005 1:13:06 PM Ah, a fellow euro-antipodean.
Welcome Halo.
Four jars of curry paste in six months? You've really gone native, haven't you. 13649. wonkers2 - 2/3/2005 3:53:42 PM Thanks, all. W2 13650. thoughtful - 2/3/2005 3:59:29 PM Congrats wonks...more power to you.
I've had a number of products discontinued once I found I loved them. Mocha java bars are still available at one grocery store, but I fear they will dry up soon. Used to love cheese-filled pastry puffs but they replaced them with something awful and hardly the same. Of course I've long since stopped eating pastry anyway. Hood ice cream made a reverse choc chip that was to die for...chocolate ice cream with white choc chips, but that ended almost as soon as it started. And when I used to eat yogurt, i loved the key lime...they stopped making that one too.
So it goes. 13651. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 4:29:20 PM I get the Yoplait Yogurt for a treat once in a while--Have you ever tasted it, thoughtful? 13652. thoughtful - 2/3/2005 4:56:46 PM Yeah, mags, I tried it quite awhile ago, but didn't like it at all. Of course now i'm off of yogurts anyway, unless it's plain, full fat, which is fairly hard to come by.
