About 20 years ago(?),Asda used to do these knockoff frosties in a plastic bag, no box. They were far superior to actual Frosties. I miss them.

While we're on about cereal, I've tried M&S cornflakes and they're the closest I've found to Kellogg's.

To bring this thread full circle, cider. There's white "cider" for street drinkers, the generic pasteurised stuff you get on draft and the weird fruity stuff that's basically just a posh alcopop. Outside of the southeast, the market is saturated with pretty terrible cider and most people don't get the chance to try good cider. The market for real ale has grown massively in recent years, but there's still a real lack of availability and knowledge when it comes to real cider and perry.

>>455038
I always found it bizarre that The Town Near Wakefield has a decent craft beer shop with a surprisingly good selection of cider. It works for me as I betray my Yorkshire roots by being a cider drinker, though.

I've had the same conversation over and over; people associating cider with teenage and vomit, or maybe sickly sweetness at best, since Proper Cider is difficult to come by.

>>455038
If you go deep into cider country and ask for a pint of cider, they'll give you an odd look and ask if you're sure you don't want it cut with lemonade. The proper stuff is lethal.

I've had to buy Lurpak because it was literally the only spread left in stock in the shop and now that I've tasted it I'm not sure I can go back to the alternatives. Shame it's ridiculously expensive.

>>455038
>Outside of the southeast

Fuck right off. The West Country has the most cideries per capita of anywhere in the world. Take your posh Suffolk piss and shove it up your arse, you London-centric little ponce.

I'll have a nice glass of zydurr and a cream cake

I don't think I've ever had nice cottage cheese that wasn't Longley Farm.

I can second this, and this chive variation on a hot jacket spud is godly.

Apparently the best baked beans as Asda's, followed by Branston, Aldi, Co-op, M&S, Sainsbo's and Lidl. Heinz are tied with Tesco, Morrisons and Waitrose's budget range.

ALDI HAVE REPLACED THEIR CORALE BEANS WITH AN INFERIOR AND MORE EXPENSIVE PRODUCT. THIS IS A COMPLETE OUTRAGE.

Amazon's bog roll is surprisingly decent, a lot softer than supermarket own brand and it only cost me 38.4p a roll (200 sheets).

Where do I get nice pillows from?

Are there any cheaper versions of this oat milk that taste similar?

>>458880
The Minor Figures one tastes pretty much the same. They tend to rotate which is cheaper or on offer. Always take them from the baking section not the refrigerators, they're significantly cheaper. Flat tops not ridges.

I know supermarket meal deals aren't exactly good value unless you can't be arsed to make a sandwich. At which point they become surprisingly good value compared to the other office drone alternatives.

But what about 'meal deal upgrades' where you pay £5 and get a fancier sandwich? I've been thinking about it.

>>458882

You fucking what?

> But what about 'meal deal upgrades' where you pay £5 and get a fancier sandwich? I've been thinking about it.

Worth it. The fancier sandwiches are a lot better.

>>458883
A lot of places offer a better meal deal for an extra £1.50. A little something extra for us managers. The sandwiches get better bread and more complex ingredients and if you want there is sometimes also a few exclusive items for the meal deal like Starbucks coffee and big bags of hula hoops.

>>458885
Where does this? I haven't noticed Morrisons or Sainsbos creating a two tier system for their sarnies.

>>458886
You haven't ever noticed these?

>>458887
Nope.

>>458887
"Inspired": I can't stand that word on food packaging, it's always a bad sign.

>>458889
It's quite a nice sandwich actually. They've done some black magic on the "bread" so it doesn't come out floppy and soggy like the poverty butties.

>>458882
I'm a picky bugger and don't like most cheeses or vegetables, so my choices for meal deals are incredibly limited. The only fancy ones I can deal with are beef & horseradish, and smoked salmon and cream cheese.

>>458887
I like all those things but the tomatoes ruin it. I could take the tomato out, yes, but it leaves a tomato residue rendering the whole thing inedible.

>>458891
I would pay good bottle caps to see videos of your meal times post-collapse.

>>458893
I'd happily eat cooked rat meat over tomatoes.

>>458894
Aren't the tomatoes supposed to go on top? And I thought you didn't like tomatoes?

>>458897
Tomatoes are vining plants so probably rope brats not for sub topping.

>>458891
Serious question: if you ate something and really enjoyed it only to be told that one or several ingredients you vehemently hate were included, how would you react?

I had a missus that said she hated mushrooms. Made her a stroganoff and she couldn't say enough good things about it... until I told it had a few types of mushrooms in and she went ballistic.

>>458900
I never used to like mushrooms until the local Chinese takeaway mixed up my chicken and sweetcorn soup with a chicken and mushroom one, which tasted nice enough that I kept ordering it. Eventually I just started liking them in general.

Conversely I've tried all year to break through my dislike of nuts (peanuts, walnuts, cashew nuts, whatever) and I just can't do it. To me they genuinely taste like something my brain's hardwired not to want to eat.

>>458900
>if you ate something and really enjoyed it only to be told that one or several ingredients you vehemently hate were included, how would you react?
Depends. Did I just happen to pick it on a menu with nobody around to warn me about the ingredients, or did someone I trust intentionally trick me into eating something they know I have strong feelings about avoiding? I know it's not an allergy thing and you didn't really do anything wrong but I can see someone having an emotional reaction.

Mitchum deodorant is much better in terms of preventing sweat and stink than cheaper brands. Also nicer smell. I bought Aldi's own brand roll on, I think it cost about 75p, but it smells like industrial cleaning products which is a bit grim.

>>458900
It depends on the context really. I say I hate tomatoes, but I like them in pizza sauce, I like sundried tomatoes, it's just fresh tomatoes have a bad taste and texture. I used to only like mushrooms raw, but taught myself to like cooked ones too. I've got a weird palate. Bell peppers, cucumber, red onion and many types of cheese are bad foods; but I like stuff like anchovies, olives, capers, kimchi, stuff that's a bit of an acquired taste. But there are certain dishes where bell peppers are prepared in such a way I do like them. I'm funny with textures because I'm a sperg.

Cushelle definitely isn't as soft as it used to be.

Do you reckon this would be terrible on your ringpiece?

If you've got a spare kidney to sell or you're eligible for a remortgage Andrex is as good as it ever was.

>>459313
Asda do giant double rolls now. If you put your bog roll in a holder, they won't fit, but if you just leave the roll near the bog like all normal people, that's the way forward.

>>459317
Use the bog roll holder you absolute psychopath.

After trying Mutti, I can't go back to own brand chopped tomatoes.

>>459318

I have a vertical toilet roll holder, purely to avoid arguments about which way the roll should hang.

Away from the wall is obviously correct.

>>458788
>Where do I get nice pillows from?

Premier Inn pillows.

From £36 a pair? Holy fuck mate, I'm still using a 10 year old yellow stained pillow. What's with you office wanks?

Do you want a good night's sleep or not?

Crosta & Mollica pizzas are the shit.

They're really not though are they, they're just Chicago Towns that you're less embarrassed for the neighbours to see the Ocado bloke dropping off. I tried one once, the Aldi's fancy top shelf salami and nduja was nicer.

I am convinced sourdough is a hoax too. What's the big deal. What's supposed to be better about it. It's just bread. Tastes like bread. It's nice bread, sure, but it's still just bread.

>>470495
They ruined Chicago Town when they changed the sauce.
