[upsidedownwalrus]

Noooo. Pichards in oil on toast with salt and vinegar on is teh ace.

Eyelids and assholes...

Don't get too bothered about fishes' scraggy bits tbh. Burgers are another matter.

You need the tomato sauce component imo

Indeed, noble Sir, indeed.

But, and it's the burning question facing society today, do you mash the pilchards before putting them on the toast, in order that the pilchards, salt, inegar and perhaps some tomato sauce will come together on toast, blended as a unit in one glorious whole?

I think we should be told.

 

[cesare]

Of course you have to mash em up! Seperate out the mini bits of vertebrae so they're just crunchy bits

 

[machine cat]

I actually quite like those

word. I know they're gross, but they're awesome when you're drunk and in need of something filthy to eat

 

[Fedayn]

Yep Fed, toast toppers

And Shippams potted paste

Not szo keen on the potted paste but loved Toast Toppers. They were, as I said as a kid, scrummy.

pilchards in tomato sauce on toast then grilled is well lush

oohhhhh haven't had that in years !

I sometimes ate them voluntarily for lunch.



Thing is, sandwiches are boring as fuck, sometimes you look for other stuff you can make cheaply and easily in the staff microwave or whatever...

The potted paste and also liver sausage were my sandwiches for school. I didn't mind defrosted potted paste but defrosted liver sausage sandwiches made me rawk. I did like toppers but vesta won out on that friday night thing.

In the Red Dwarf episode Demons and Angels, when they're on the Demon Ship, Kryten says "This ship is a shrine to everything that's low and base, everything that's rank and defiled." and then he opens the fridge, takes a disgusted look and goes "Toastie toppers."

Don't forget when Lister and Rimmer are marooned on an ice planet and they do a food inventory. It comes down to a choice between a tin of dog food and a Pot Noodle and Lister says:

'It's pretty obious what gets eaten last. I can't stand Pot Noodles.'

Nah... if you put your mind to it you can make awesome sarnies. Although being arsed to make them the night before is a pain in the arse. That's why tomorrow im having korean noodles for lunch

You've just reminded me how 'hilarious' Red Dwarf was.

My M&S does a couscous and bulgar wheat salad with sultanas and fresh herbs - you don't even have to add water, you just pop open the lid and eat it with a little plastic fork embedded inside.

I blush just to admit that one! It's like the last days of Rome!

When I stoop low, I stoop as low as Marks and Spencers.*

We clearly have different thresholds.

Omg I love vesta chow mein and I have made sure my children have been subjected as well. They sell it in tesco

Around this time of year, around the start of the academic year I always get a craving for beef and tomato pot noodle. It's a flash back to those student welcome packs.


And more recently while I had a dodgy wrist and couldn't cook properly I ate Smash, because I couldn't mash my own potatoes.

And more recently I discovered that Asda has started doing a veggie version of beans and sausage, which I hadn't eaten for years as I don't eat pork.

EWWWWW Smash!

 

[NotsoImpressed]

Findus minced beef & onion crispy pancakes. Oh yeah.

My favourite proper dirty childhood tea was beans on toast with big fuck off chunks of corned beef stirred into the beans (they have to be big, otherwise they break up). Serve on toast (buttered, obviously) and douse liberally with HP.

That sounds so nasty my ex would convince me to have the odd mash, beans and corn beef ‘hash’, mate that left me wanting to Luke!

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Some bump...

Thats what I thought it was. At least until I moved up North and found they make it with gravy here. Which is odd really. Why not just use proper beef mince for that?

years ago, my mum got me a vesta as a treat I was home from College, and she wanted to show her love

I never got to have it though my dad came in, "what's that fucking smell!" she tried to defend the Vesta, but his bellyaching was non stop


so it went in the bin
