I almost resurrected the infantile thread for this, but fuck it. It  can have its own thread.

QuoteA spokesperson for Lilly's replied to a few of the remarks about people being able to make it themselves at home, saying: "It isn't as enjoyable when you have to do the cooking and washing up yourself."

In the 90s I was mainly eating kebabs and Super Noodles.
I'd want A LOT for fifteen quid.

bgmnts

Surely you could buy most of that from supermarkets for half the price?

Oh sorry yeah its for lazy cunts people who don't want to do the washing up.

Buy some paper plates from the supermarket, job done.

How 'original' are these Turkey twizzlers?

Isn't most nostalgic reminiscing over food like this of the "thank the lord I don't get fed that shite any more" variety?

My friend and his girlfriend were round at mine once and we were all absolutely hanging out our arses and thought it would be a great idea to have a 90s kids' tea so went to Iceland and bought large quantities of alphabet spaghetti, turkey dinosaurs and potato smileys. It was appalling.

I got some spiral fries from lidl recently and they were shit. Very low on seasoning and they seemed to transition between soggy and solidified in a blink of an eye.

I think it was just that specific brand being complete shit though.

Christ Brexit Britain in action, imagine actually ordering one of these (I would eat this)

£15 worth of doner these days is barely a snack compared with what you could get for about a quid in the 90s.  And I doubt the quality has got any better.

Those Turkey Dinos look undercooked. They need to have a golden crumb.

Lightweights.  These days it's all about the 4ft parmo:

Not enough time to devote to this so quick summary :

Erm.. what's a Parmo? Even with a photo it's hard to discern what it is apart from 'comes with chips'.

There's a couple of South Indian resturants called Rishi's dotted across Scotland that do massive dosa for a family to share rather than having individual ones. The waiters carry it in on their shoulders like it's a rolled up carpet.

I was stumped too. It's got its own page on wikipedia.

QuoteThe parmo, or Teesside Parmesan,[1] is a dish originating in Middlesbrough, Teesside, and a popular item of take-away food in the Teesside area. It consists of a breaded cutlet of chicken or pork topped with a white béchamel sauce and cheese, usually cheddar cheese. The name of the dish is a reference to the dish chicken parmigiana, which is made with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.[2]

if it's really meant to be 90s, how come the presence of the beans hasn't made the price negative?

that's the proper 90s there. Beans War, motherfucker

QuoteKwik Save later suffered financial difficulties and went into administration in 2007.

The pathetic beans and paltry spaghetti hoops floating about in thin red juice in those shit plastic tubs is a truly emetic spectacle. Get it out of my sight. Giving me the right boke.

I remember beans being 2p a tin from Safeway for a bit. Must have been mid-90s too?

imitationleather

Also apparently the Turkey Twizzlers you can get these days don't hold a candle to the ones they had back then.

When I was in university and buying cheap shit beans to save cash I was always mildly perturbed that the ones with 'sausages' in them were cheaper than the ones without.

I always consider them a 2000's thing because I wasn't aware of them until that fat-tongued twat went on a crusade.

imitationleather

Same. I've never eaten one or even seen one in real life.

Wow that takes me back. There was a KwikSave that was the only shop near our practice room at that time, so I got to know some of their hateful products well. Insanely cheap peanuts that stripped the flesh from your mouth roof, such was the salt content. And something called an "Ashmount Bite-to-Eat" which I dimly recall was some savoury biscuits, cheese spread and ham-like matter all packaged together. Grimness.
