Rot shop !

[Keef]

Ha ha, great post Mrs Woof!

[Jeremy]

I love it when Sainsburys have a beer bargain bin. Individual cans and bottles of Carlsberg, Fosters, etc which have been separated from the multi-packs. Labels have come off the bottles, cans are dented, and a quarter of the contents might even be curiously missing. But they're only 20p each, so I can't help filling the trolley. It's like I revert to studenthood.

[HonaloochieB]

I was going to put forward sweetcorn eaten from the tin with each layer liberally coated in salad cream as a rot snack.

But then I realised the sweetcorn was Green Giant and the salad cream was Heinz so it's probably not really 'rotty' enough is it?

[Keef]

I remembered this thread when I was in tesco express the other night, and felt shamed. I ended up buying some posh pate and cranberry sauce rather than my pukka pie!

[bigbadwolf]

Don't lie to us Keef. I bet you had some tinned Sardines in tomato sauce spread on some mighty white didn't you! Probably washed down with some White lightning from costcutter followed by a poor mans spliff.

[Keef]

I can't even go along with that as a joke, being that I hate all things sardine (well fish in general actually). Oh, and is a poor mans spliff a butt rolly? If so, I haven't been reduced to that since I lived in Liverpool!

[bigbadwolf]

No Keef. A poor mans spliff is a scud containing a penny pinching sprinkle of hash, as you well know. Lit with your last match or off the stove.

Oh no, just go with the "Rot" vs "Toff" I ere toward the shameful pukka pie, was it in the discounted section with a yellow label?

[bigbadwolf]

Yeah, and I don't think keef paid for it either.

[Moos]

I'm classy. I eat peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon, not with my fingers.

[bigbadwolf]

I bet it's the pikey lidl stuff though eh Moos.

Keef are you out of your bloody mind. You're paying ?6.58 for 4 pint size cans of beer!

Go to the Spar opposite fozzy hill swimming pools and you can get yourself 8 500ml cans of either Holsten, Kronenburg or Fosters for ?6.50!

Jesus Christ Keef, pull your bloody finger out!

Oh and just so you know. Keno's opposite fozzy hill Police station on Dartmouth road is open till about 6 a.m but the prices are a bit steep to say the least.

But you'd expect to pay a little extra for the atmosphere, convenience and if 'Neb' is on shift, access to the small but perfectly formed tins of Heinz Toast Toppers.

The cheese and ham if he's in a good mood.

[bigbadwolf]

I also pay the extra so that their dog that's aptly named "187" doesn't tear my jugular out if I slam the freezer a little too hard when I'm pissed.

Of course good ol' 187. He's got that poor outlook from being named after one of the crappest Samuel Jackson films.

They could have gone for Pulp, Snake or Coach Carter, but no 187, and we know what that's code for.

[Keef]

Costcutters on corner of dartmouth rd and kirkdale, 6 grolsch for a fiver. Sorted.

[Michael Palaeologus]

1 tin of minced beef

1 tin of mixed veg - diced

Powdered dried potato (not Smash)

Open tins, drain veg and empty mince and veg into pan. Heat until hot. Take off heat and slowly add dried potato powder while stirring. Stop when no more powder will be absorbed and the contents of the pan stay in place when inverted.

Add plenty of FGP. Scoff.

I remember Spaghetti Bolognaises cooked as following when I was a soap dodger

Ingredients:

Spaghetti

Tomato ketchup sachets (as many as could be stolen from local cafe)

To cook:

Spaghetti boiled for 30 mins (sod al dente)

Tomato Ketchup from sachets added

Serve

[*Bob*]

Local 'super'market up in Sheffield used to have a basket out front selling 'mystery tins' - ie canned goods which had lost their labels - for 5p a shot.

A surprisingly entertainly way to spend an evening. (When you're broke.)

[Moos]

Russian Roulette for the broke*.

*with a bit less drama.

My boyfriend actually served me this for dinner last week...apparently man-flu was affecting his cooking skills.

Two 'dishes' that spring to mind from my days of returning to the bedsit having drunk the week's food money are: Weetabix Omelette and Spaghetti (al dente) with an oxo sauce.

PM me for recipes if interested.

Would you be the same silverfox who wrote 'this is haute cuisine a la East Dulwich - as is every Indian restaurant up and down the street. It's stodge for British people who don't have a clue what real food is and, if they did they wouldn't eat it' on the Le Chardon thread, by any chance? Just wondered...

[silverfox]

Yes Muley, why do you ask?
