What cheap processed foods do you love?

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.

Sardine & tomato paste
Evaporated milk.
Mars bars. I'm otherwise fairly extreme in my taste in chocolate, I like the really dark, expensive stuff. Mars bars are my dirty little secret...

Grin at chicken supermodels.

Oh yes! Tinned meatballs in gravy. You can mix them with linguine and grate some cheddar over the top. So wrong it's right.

A few months ago, I had a sudden and inexplicable hankering for those tinned meatballs in gravy.
So I bought some.
And cried as I had to dispose of 3/4 of them as they were utterly revolting. Nothing like I remembered. :(

Iceland hash brown fries.
Fried onion flavour instant mash - no idea of the but they're cheap in Heron.

Salmon paste in a little glass jar. I used to love the Big Breakfast in a tin although haven't tried that for a while. Creamed mushrooms from a tin on toast.

MustardScreams · 14/12/2019 20:05

@SecretNutellaFix did the same thing. And I eat anything. No idea what they’ve done to them, but it was the worst tasting thing I’ve experience for a while. I used to adore them!
