Another vote for the Midland pork scratchings, though Mr Porky's Finest are also very good. I liked the Snaffling Pig Colman's mustard cracklings but haven't seen them in a while.

I had a pack of the Snaffling Pig pork scratchings yesterday and thought they were, franky, awful. Zero flavour, it was like eating doorknobs.

Yes, I don't like the Snaffling Pig ones. The packet says "perfectly salted" = incredibly over-salted.

Creme eggs have been in the shops since Christmas. Chreaster.

Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia. Chocolate ice cream with cherries and chocolate pieces. Only 550 calories for the tub and it only cost £1.50. Don't even care how cold it is.

sick of the amount of cherries in a packet of tangfastics, frankly.

Swap you the cherries for the orange ones.

Incredibly under-salted in my pack. Zero flavour.

Now being sold in packs of five, in a box that looks like it should hold six.

Ah what do I care, I hate Creme Eggs, they taste of paint.

Imagine buying this when you live with two other people. What a bastardly number to put in a pack!

Blue Jam

Yeah, foodstuffs should not be packaged in prime multiples. Except perhaps Yakults, it's nice to have exactly a week's worth of those.

Not just me then. I thought I just kept getting unlucky til I realised the bastards were laughing at me, openly. Had a similar thing with the pink Pinballs but I reckon that actually was just the universe despising me.

I wanted chicken burgers for lunch yesterday but teccos didn't have them so I got these:


tasted mostly of pepper.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Why didn't anyone tell me paint was tasty

Stoneage Dinosaurs

They're doing a spicy version of the best pringles (sour cream and onion). They taste exactly the same as sour cream and onion pringles but with a very slight chilli spiciness. Might as well have just eaten sour cream and onion pringles with some chilli flakes sprinkled on them. Alternatively I might as well have just eaten SOMETHIBG ELSE

Creme eggs times five, oh it's creme eggs times five
No one in my life thinks I should be alive
I've pushed away my kids and my wife me does despise
but when I go to tesco I buy creme eggs times five

If the filling is still being produced in the old, run down chemical works outside Dumfries, then that's no surprise at all. They do produce one of the ingredients of paint in the off season.

I tried Asda's own sour cream and onion Pringles knockoff. I think they might be nicer than the real thing.

Is that a euphemism?

Course it is. You never "deep-fried" a creme egg?...



Or nine?

Who would have thought potato skin would be the most appealing sounding item of a buffet.

Garry Bushell had his phone cut off around the same time. I feel your sentiments.

They are incredible. I like Creme Eggs. I love Galaxy Caramel eggs. But I think the Oreo egg might top the lot.
