I'm definitely a chocolate snob.
Heinz ketchup 'good stuff.' :harold:
All ketchup is shit to be fair, apart from some homemade ones, and even then.
I only buy Hellman's ketchup but I'd eat any of them if I got handed something with it on. I love sauces that much that I rarely eat ketchup though.
I used to know a lad always dosed his dinner with it. Christmas dinner and all.
I don't consider myself to be much a brand wanker, but I did always lol at my Trotskyist housemate and his Co-op toothpaste.
The fuck is this shit?Quote:

I wonder what the worst thing is when you go for the cheap shit. I reckon it might be ice cream, which is just foam below a certain price.
Tinned steak chunks.
Anyone watch that Joe Wicks Body Coach on channel 4 earlier? He's so David Brent, it's unbearable.
Chicken. I once tried an 'Everyday Value' Tesco chicken nugget, which apparently sell at sixty odd pence for twenty, and it must have been about ninety five percent feet.Quote:

Mechanically reclaimed is such a lovely phrase when applied to something you're supposed to eat.
Yeah I detailed it all in a thread about weird shit I do, which started off as me saying I talk to myself in a fictional language out loud.Quote:

Used to go and buy Sainsburys 2L lemonade and a stick of French bread as a kid. Good times.Quote:

I wouldn't say chocolate, the cheap stuff is just oil and sawdust. Some veg maybe, it always amuses me that a bag of slightly wonky carrots is cheaper, because it really matters once you've cut them up put in something.
:D No normal child buys a stick of French bread from a shop which also sells Swiss rolls and biscuits.Quote:

Is Heinz ketchup expensive over there or what? I thought it was just your average brand.
This thread needs more pictures of yummy food.
I can never tell when people are being ironic or sarkastic on here anymore. I don't get it but I'm guessing you're wooshing me somehow.Quote:

Why have I taken so long to "understand" omelettes? :drool: Just whipped one together by frying some thinly sliced raw potatoes and fresh salsiccia in rosemary, then adding a few tomatoes and the eggs. Goddamn.
Replace the potatoes, tomatoes, and whatever salsiccia is with bacon, mushrooms, and cheese and you're sorted.Quote:

Fuck mushrooms.
Went a bit fancy tonight.
Had a porterhouse steak, mini roasted potatoes, garlic cavolo nero and a mushroom and bone marrow sauce.
Was pretty fucking amazing.
Spanish omelettes are nice but I always feel a bit bloaty after them. I normally go with a potatoes+chorizo+spinach and red peppers if I am going to do one.Quote:

You still sound salty about it...
To be fair there's not mushroom for other emotions when something like that happens.
Shouldn't have to eggsplain yourself.
I do this pun literally every time we make pizzas (which is quite often).Quote:

You should keep doing it, a good pun get better with repetition and age.
There's a handful of corner shops around here that do surprisingly tasty sandwiches and wraps for almost worryingly low prices. It is hard to motivate myself to make sandwiches to take to work when I can get a chicken tikka wrap that is full to bursting for £1.40. God only knows what kind of chicken goes in them.
For that money you really should be calling it 'chicken'.
Reminds me of a snack van that pitched up near me, now gone/closed, which had its own take on the 'munchy box' featuring 'chicken bits' with a load of other shit for three quid. No chickens were harmed in the making of that product, I suspect.
Also deffo worth repeating that the M&S "New York Deli Style" pastrami on rye sandwich is by far the most delicious prepacked supermarket sandwich I've ever had, and probably the only poncy premium range supermarket sandwich worth the extra expense.
Nah mate this is the absolute daddy of supermarket sarnies:Quote:

Pre-packed sandwiches are all shit.
There's an Indian inspired chicken sandwich that Sainburys do which is stunning.
Tikka (IIRC), mango chutney, raita, onion bhaji and spinach on a nigella seed bread.
I was walking past Pret a Manger the other day and noticed they were selling two boiled eggs in a tub with some lettuce for three quid. That sandwich might be shit, I've only tried the 'pit beef' and 'ham hock' Finest sandwiches, but it's definitely more worth the price than that fucking disgrace.
I still don't eat veg bar the odd bit of onion and lettuce (not counting spuds), so my sandwich options are very limited and its probably why my skin is a nice hue of grey these days.
Pret is fucking awful. Genuinely think their sandwiches are worse than most mid-range supermarket offerings, let alone the finest/taste the difference lot.Quote:

The Pret cheese and ham toastie is absolutely gangsta. I think they must mix cocaine in with the mustard, it's that addictive.
My old work colleague is buying me a curry tonight. :cool:
Gonna get something mild so I don't shit myself tomorrow.
I'm gonna have a go at making my own lamb kofte tonight.
