Food trends come and go, and nowhere is that more evident than in the lost dishes of the 80s and 90s. It was a time when dinner parties felt fancy if they involved vol-au-vents or pineapple and cheese on cocktail sticks, and when midweek meals came straight from the freezer aisle. And let's not forget the puddings - when anything French-sounding seemed impossibly elegant, tinned fruit felt exotic, and everything was adorned with a glacé cherry.
Many of these meals were staples of family dinners, school canteens, or were considered the height of sophistication at your local restaurant. While some of these dishes linger on today, tucked away in the backs of cupboards or appearing on the occasional nostalgic menu, their glory days have long passed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with 17 forgotten foods that once defined British dining in the 80s and 90s.
