When I was a kid, I practically lived on tuna pot pies. however they do not exist anymore. You can get chicken and beef but no tuna. I did eat a occasional beef pie when I was young with the beef chunks having a close resemblance to tire rubber.. Anyone else not being able to get a food that they loved as a kid.
Food no longer available

Calf's liver.
Only liver I have seen recently has been packaged stuff, not part of the regular butcher/meat department.
Of course, maybe nobody cares.

My mother loved liver fried with onions and made us eat it when we were kids. I had a beef processed a while back if you were closer I would sure donate you the liver.Calf's liver.

Not had liver in 50 years and not looking for it.
As far as food no longer around try to find a can of purple hull peas. I prefer my garden peas but sometimes when the crop is light or we run out we resort to canned. I have not seen a can around here in 4-5 years.
No more fat free sour cream either. Our local Wal Mart no longer has green peas I asked and was told they do not carry them any longer. Well Dollar General does.
When I saw the headline I thought you were local. There's a minor "blow" out in the Gulf and the media/.gov message is "We're all going to die!" Appalach' Bay fixing to lose some shellfish I imagine. Joe
Miracle Whip - when they replaced the sugar with high fructose corn syrup the taste and texture changed so much that they should have changed the name. I'd rather pay more for the same product than have it changed into something else to save a few cents on the selling price.
Fritos ain't the same either...

I still like the turkey pot pies. I do not eat liver.

Many companies, especially those bought out by someone else, are using cheaper ingredients in an effort to make more money. They are making their product not as tasty as the original. Once I figure this out I quit buying that product. I still eat turkey pot pies. I will not eat liver as long as steak can still be had.

Have eaten brains, heart, liver and stomach.
Rice bug and baby squid in Thailand.
Lingua Taco in San Antonio. You would think that a guy who knows 30 words of Spanish and 29 words of Latin would know what Lingua is!
As a kid, probably the worse, Head Cheese.
Almost forgot. Sweet Breads in San Francisco.
They have to call then Sweet Breads! Called by their real names makes them hard to eat!
Sweetbreads are a culinary term for the thymus and pancreas glands of young animals, such as calves, lambs.

My mother was a liver junkie. She once , while deer hunting, sent my brother back up the hill to where he had killed his deer, in the pouring rain, because he hadn't brought the liver with him. She wasn't gonna let him in the truck without that liver. I ate a freeze-dried meal in a bag that night.
My mom made delicious liver with onion gravy and mashed potatoes.
My sister wouldn't eat it. She said it tasted offal.

I miss my mom's fried chicken the most. By the way, pot pies don't really have any, oh never mind.
The late, great, shouldazagged would have sent you to your room for that one, except he would have been rendered speechless.
Beef liver I do not care for it. Maybe I never had it cooked properly. I however love liver from a deer. If someone gets a deer supper is liver and onions!!
Haven't seen candy cigarettes or bubblegum cigars since forever
It took guts to say that to her mother.
I miss 'frosted jellies' candy - essentially candy fake fruit slices with thin, smooth, white sugar coating.

Fried chicken livers- gizzards, yes but not livers. There was small family owned diner that had the best ever when I was about 20.
So; you are elk hunting in the mountains and you've scored. After you finished field dressing, washed off the blood smell, and changed clothes, you build a hot, hot campfire and let it burn down to deep coals. Take a cast iron skillet and drop in just enough vegetable to coat the bottom and let it start to warm on the edge of the coals.
Next, take the elk liver you saved while field dressing and skin the membrane off, cutting around the gland/duct freely and deeply to avoid spilling bile into the liver itself. Prepare flour, salt, and ground black pepper and spread it on a cooking sheet. Slice the liver into thin straps so that none is more than 1 inch thick and two inches wide. Roll the slices in the flour mix, then place them in the warmed skillet - move it into the coals for higher heat. Fry the slices until very light brown on all sides.
Next, take pre-made green chile stew made with green chiles, fragmented ground beef or pork, diced potatoes, onion, garlic, and tomatillas. Generously ladle the stew over all of the liver slices, then cover the skillet with the cast iron lid and move the skillet to the edge of the coals. In 5 or 10 minutes, uncover the liver and serve.
Don't be shocked if hunters you never saw come streaming out of the woods, drawn by the aroma, looking sad and hungry.

Forget the tuna pot pie...
Try finding a large can of tuna fish (IN OIL)! Sure you might find some small cans the size of tobacco chew but who wants to stand there opening 15 cans to make tuna fish salad.
The markets dedicate as much shelf space for canned tuna as they do for ranch dressing. And then people stand there scratching their heads wondering which to buy.
And sorry for the drift but what rocket scientist decided because tomatoes are a fruit canned tomato sauce belongs in the canned fruit aisle?

I'm working in Georgia and Armenia now, and the big cans with tuna (chunk or flake) packed in oil are common. And much cheaper.

"Google" them. You can buy them on-line, although for the life of me I don't know why you would want to!
In my hunting camps the heart & liver never made it home. Add a little bacon or onions to the slices and it soon was eaten with Gusto.
