What cheap processed foods do you love?

[Pinkshoelace]

Inspired by another thread were people were discussing their love for Vienetta, I was thinking about cheap processed foods I love.

For me it's really cheap cheese and tomato pizza. The kind that costs a quid or less from a frozen food shop. You can see where the pizza sauce has been pipped on by a machine and the cheap cheese forms a solid layer that sometimes slides off when you cut into it. The main flavour is ground pepper.

I love them and I'd choose them over so called 'better' pizzas if I had a choice.

Skips, or preferably supermarket own brand ones, so I can have a big bag. Skips are usually in a six pack, so I need at least two bags.

Cheap ginger nuts. I think they’re 2 for 80p in Morrison’s. Lovely but very very hard, so they need to be dunked.

The 35p monster pack of Tesco custard creams. No branded ones for me.
Potato waffles and fish fingers.
Tinned peas.
I don't know if you can still get those findus frozen breaded things anymore that seemed to be filled with tinned mushroom soup. Loved them.

Those little potato frittery things with smiley faces. With lashings of TK, obvs

Tinned rice pudding, and all the variations like semolina and tapioca, which taste exactly the same.

Birds trifle! It feels a bit "special" because you have to make all the bits separately out of their little packets and build the layers. But it is extremely cheap and nasty in theory.

Ooh, good shout on the pasta n sauce! I also love the cheese, leek and ham one

Since being pregnant I get occasional cravings for microwaved burgers like Rustlers. With grisly burger patty and soggy warm bread. Mmmm

Bacon Super Noodles. And I'm veggie.

Oh, forgot micro chips! Do they still exist?! I used to have a box every day after school, covered in salt and vinegar. Healthy! 👍

40p cheap white bread (the square sort you’re half convinced is 36% plastic) toasted, buttered, and folded around a processed cheese slice. Bliss!

I love those kinds of pizzas OP. Sainsbury's Basics cheese & tomato pizzas are yummy and huge. I can eat a whole one, easily.

Sticky Rib Pot Noodle gets my vote.

When I was a teenager one of my favourite shitty dinners was Birdseye chicken curry and McCain's Micro Chips.

Fridge Raiders

Heinz sandwich spread for no reason other than my mother's refusal to buy this throughout my childhood as she thought it was "common".
I chuckle to myself anytime I feel the urge to buy this.

Long I was going to say Brains' faggots too but thought I might have to explain it so couldn't be arsed

Ooh, so many guilty pleasures:
Super noodles on toast
Frozen hash browns
Crisp sandwiches (on cheap white bread obvs)
McDonald’s breakfast
Tinned rice pudding with jam in

Cheese hamwiches
Butterscotch Angel delight
Pasta and Sauce, cheese leek and ham

Tunnock's chocolate tea cakes

secret i love a Hamwich!

Also agree on hot dogs, cheese strings and crisp sandwiches. Has to be cheap ready salted though.

Chicken supernoodles. With grated parmesan and black pepper on. Food of the Gods

Also. Fish finger sandwiches.

Dp had a pie sandwich the other day but i draw the line at that!

Custard creams.

Curry flavoured pot noodles. The cheapest ones from Tesco and Asda.

Frazzles or supermarket equivalent. Tinned spaghetti shapes. Angel delight. This thread has reminded me I used to love the pasta n sauce packets but haven't had one for years.

Tinned macaroni cheese. Love it.

Really cheap sausages
