Mona Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 The old lady next door in the 70’s used to make something she called flat bread I think was sweet shortcrust pastry rolled to about an inch thick with Sultanas and currants we used to eat it hot with lashings of best butter she also used to make some cheese creation loads of melted cheese with onions and tomatoes then just dip your bread in it oh god , now I’m hungry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 @Spider I got one of those 'romantic' meal deals for two from M&S once... The wine? Christ, it was like Nitromors. I'm sure the 'producer' area was simply 'EU'. They have the best booze selection at Booths. And had some belting luxury Whoopsies from there on a Friday night... Even regular shopping isn't that dear. Great deli counters an' all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beer selection at Booths is as good as you’ll get M&S food halls tend to have decent beer at decent prices But The barcodes never seem to scan for some reason Happened in more than one Have to watch some doddery old puffin key in barcode numbers for 10 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted August 27, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2021 Fucking pot noodles, supernoodles and their wank supermarket varients should be thrown in Rudy's volcano, they are that offensive to humanity. Try the world section for some decent spicy noodles, although for some reason (cough cough brexit) we are really low on stock. Best poverty food is Bovril on toast, far superior to marmite and great as a base for a good wedge of grilled cheddar if your giro stretches that far.

Flatten the excised tin out, an iron, a book and a towel works. Scan it in and copy and paste it to fill an A4 size sheet. Print off onto sticker paper and section them into individual-code stickers - then when in the shop remove the backing and stick however many you need on the trolley handle using only a small section of the sticker's corner. Then go and select what ale you want, pretending to read the bumph on the can, like a connoisseur - but you're really sticking one of your barcodes over the real barcode. Get sommat ambiguous like traditional lemonade or ginger beer to create your barcode. Don't get sommat like Pepsi or Coke - too recognisable and obviously different to ale. Sounds a faff, but £3+ cans for 60p, it's worth the initial hassle. Edited August 28, 2021 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't - Supernoodles are too glutinous for making fried noodles, they stick too easily, and are too dear as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pointing out the inventive can use peasant ingredients to create sommat more refined... I had some of those canned burgers in gravy a few years ago for the first time in about thirty years. I think I had them with Smash, again eating it for the first time in thirty years...I couldn't be arsed peeling real potatoes with my metal knife, boiling them for twenty minutes, then smashing them all to pieces - like a primitive species. I'd say they were disgusting and my palate had moved on - but I actually really enjoyed this meal. It was for my Sunday tea an' all. Should've got a Strawberry Angel Delight and some Dream Topping for my afters, but didn't think to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A can of pop will be the same weight as a can of ale - 330g and the can weight. Whoopsie barcodes aren't weight defined, as often stuff is whoopsie is because one or more things, say a yoghurt from a pack is missing. However sticking a bottle of wine through with a barcode that brings up 'Reduced Bakery' and you're likely to get rumbled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eat anything, but butterscotch is one of the few things I just never took to. They made some jet black jelly for our pudding at Primary School once and absolutely rammed it with butterscotch essence. Turned me off it for good.
