Bad food you miss

[Sebastian Cobb]

That looks truly dreadful, although the ones I am thinking of were semi-homemade - think frozen veg mix, sultanas and chip shop curry sauce.  Come to think of it, maybe that's how they were made?

My Nan wouldn't dream of making curry without the all-important sultanas in, my Mum on the other hand was fond of adding sliced banana to her curry.  SToP GETTING CURRY WRoNG!

Banana can work, the Indian takeaway my parents go to serve their Persian chicken Biryani with a butterflied banana on the top and it is pretty nice.

I had one of them recently, the chippy/kebab shops had shut but tescos havent. Just tasted of tomato puree really.

I also bought 'fries to go' which are like microchips but every chip is wrapped in some metal stuff that gets hot. They were better than I anticipated.

Oh yes! They used to do these bastards at a (now defunct) skatepark I frequented as a pre-teen, and I fucking loved them.

Mumbo Gumbo bars : A sort of tropical fruit version of Wham Bars.
Super Mousse bars : Cadbury's version of Milky Way, but the same shape as Fry's Turkish Delight.
Hubba Bubba soda.
Egg Creams

Chip silo.

What's your stance on Cheese Moments? One has to draw the line somewhere.

As I've said many many times on this forum, I like Cheese Moments.  Granted, they're no Scampi Fries, but I'll still happily eat them.

[bgmnts]

Just the sight of turkish delight as a kid would make me wretch because - to use the cab terminology - it's aids-tier shit for cunts.

Nowadays I reckon I might like it though.

In a previous thread someone posted a makeshift recipe for the homemade Seventies curry.  It involved a currently-available supermarket tinned curry sauce (had to be the tin not the packet) and, well, sultanas.  Don't think it was Vesta.

Wasn't it raisins?

They'll do in a pinch, but anyone choosing them over Scampi Fries is a certifiable loon.

Every so often I have to talk myself out of buying a Fray Bentos.

Bought two for £2 at the weekend. A shocking lack of actual meat, but it's all about the pastry, eh lads?

Freekee Soda, Just remembered that

Micro Noodles, such a doddle, such a doddle, Micro Noodles.

[Sebastian Cobb]

If I lived in England I'd miss those Rustlers ribwich things but as it happens Scottish chippies do a battered version called a 'king rib' that's much better anyway.

[Twed]

McDonalds do a limited-availability version of that in the US that people go nuts for due to good marketing: https://mcriblocator.com/

[Sebastian Cobb]

They've done it over here before as well. It's ok, still not as good as a king rib though 'cos it's not battered.

[Pingers]

Tinned ravioli (on toast). Probably best left in the rosy reverie of childhood, that one.

The ultimate bad boy hangover filth Mian Wo.


Savoury doughnut but without the soft centre  just the crispy exterior, flavoured with salt  spring onions and sesame seeds  Zero nutritional value make you feel like a total nump within minutes of trying to digest it but for the ten seconds it takes to eat it you feel like you're getting everything you could possibly need. Like a rabid power wank over your mate's girlfriend's holiday snaps, you know it's wrong and it's not even so wrong it's right. It's just the only thing to touch the sides of the yawning chasm within your honking, black, claggy bitumen soul.

Pot Noodle. Mmmm.

[Gulftastic]

Pot Noodle. Mmmm.

They used to do ones called 'Posh Noodles'. They were lovely.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Obligatory mention of the short-lived Pot Mash, now they were fucking vile.

[Cuntbeaks]

Naked Noodles are the new standard and the large pots are perfect for fat cunts like me. The green Thai curry ones are superb.

[Cuntbeaks]

Heat up a tin of Heinz Spag Bol in a pot and when sufficiently warmed through wantonly fire a portion of chippy chips right into the pot along with it.

A one pot, hot shot that hits the spot.

Nah, it still tastes like someone has dipped a bar of soap in chocolate.


I quite miss some of the shitty stuff we got served in the galley during my Navy days (Navy chef was the hardest course you could do as it seemed that no cunt had ever passed it) cheesy hammy eggy, tank tracks (sort of a Rustler rib thing) and of course bacon with bone bits in it at breakfast. I don't eat meat anymore so I can't even recreate them for nostalgic purposes.

Serve with 9p Asda white sliced bread

9p?! When was this, 1991?

[Nice Relaxing Poo]

Pot Noodle. Mmmm.

I loathe those fucking things with every fibre of my being. The stench of them permeated every bedsit and student hall the length and breadth of the UK during the 80s and 90s.

Aw no I hate them. Bland and oddly healthy tasting which I don't want from a potted noodle dish

They're like the food equivalent of how having sex with a prostitute is, I imagine.

So naughty and filthy and bad for you but so good.

That was basically their ad campaign for a while wasn't it?

That all came flooding back to me.

So wrong but so right.
