Discontinued safe food

Aimée

Hi,

I have a certain food that I eat every day for breakfast and have done for about 10 years. However, recently it has been discontinued and I have had multiple meltdowns and panic attacks over this because I don’t eat many foods and have never found any good equivalents. I have managed to find some chocolate brioche rolls that I can eat for breakfast instead but I don’t feel comfortable taking these away with me on holiday for example, or eating them in public. I also simply miss the taste and texture of my old safe food. Rather than looking for practical solutions (such as finding the food to buy online), I’d love to hear advice on how to deal with changes to foods or other changes to routines because for me this causes immense emotional distress that can last for months or years. I’d like to know that I’m not alone in feeling this way.

    It’s so sad and upsetting when foods that we’re used to are discontinued, especially when they bring us comfort and are easy to eat/keep!

    I agree, and i can think of several personal examples.

    1. M & S, Peri peri chicken curry.
    2. Waitrose, Garic chicken Masala. 
    3. Morrisons, mushroom soups with pasta.
    4. Polish Knorr, Beef noodle soup, mad cow disease stopped their import.
    5. Osem,  Barley and mushroom soups.
