I miss restaurants with REAL food. Not things like chicken with stripes painted on to make it look grilled. It doesn't look grilled. It looks fake. Not mystery meat. Not stuff out of a can. Not stuff that was delivered by a Sysco truck.

I miss Kellogg's Mueslix Cereal. I can't find them in the stores anymore, although it is still available online.

Post's Great Grains cereal is good, but I liked to get Mueslix sometimes as an alternative.

Back in the 70's and 80's, you used to be able to buy these 9 inch cream pies with the graham cracker crust. They came in chocolate, vanilla, and coconut. I can't remember the brand name. It was not Sara Lee, although their cream pies aren't available anymore either. Rather, it was the cheaper version. The pie was thinner. I think the bakery that used to make them went out of business.

Come to think of it, it's hard to find those frozen fruit and pumpkin pies as well.

I saw these once at a Costco, if that helps.

Old London Cheese Waffles are now sold under the Wise Cheese Waffles brand. Both were owned buy Borden so they merged the brands.
The Wise brand is not sold here on the West Coast, where I live. But if I'm ever back East, I'll be sure to stock up! Thanks, jlawrence.
