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.

Fab thread!

Many of the above, but I'm going to have to google Richmond sausages

OMG I love you all! ❤️

Skips are lovely as are quavers. Also a fan of chicken and mushroom pot noodle too

Baked beans (on toast) - although I don't think the Heinz ones are particularly cheap these days. Gregg's sausage rolls.

bee222 · 14/12/2019 21:55

Wotsits or any other cheesy maize based snack.
Quorn sausage rolls (i'm not even a vegetarian. I buy these when I do the weekly shop and eat them on the drive home)
Super noodles with a slice of buttered white bread (a hangover from my student days 19 years ago)
Crispy pancakes
Cheesy mix sandwich filling

Poundland mini eggs, the ones that are wrapped in foil and come in a net. They are chocolate flavoured rather than actual chocolate.

The rest of the time I am more of a 85%+ cocoa kind of girl.

Richmond sausages are the best sausages ever.
Birds eye battered chicken
I’m partial to the Greg’s frozen range in Iceland.
Angel delight

Ineedanamechange79 · 14/12/2019 22:12

Mini kievs
Super noodles
Fray bentos steak and kidney pies
Curly fries
Mayflower curry sauce
Used to love vesta paella but I haven't seen them around for a few years now

IHaveBrilloHair · 14/12/2019 22:13

It's not crap, or processed as such but I love tongue (fnar)
Everyone else I know won't touch it.
It's not that cheap either!

Ineedanamechange79 · 14/12/2019 22:14

Also Richmond sausages and chicken and mushroom pot noodle.

They ruined the curry ones when they changed the curry sauce to bloody mango chutney.

BlueWonder · 14/12/2019 22:14

The banana flavoured Muller yoghurt with the tiny chocolate covered cornflakes. Just divine!

Readthisearlier · 14/12/2019 22:15

The frozen "Cheese Hamwidges". They are breadcrumbed thick pieces of processed "ham" with plastic melted cheese on the top. Delicious.

Also canned meatballs in gravy with cheap oven chips.

Clevs · 14/12/2019 22:18

Cheese & ham toast toppers.
Dairylea Dunkers.
Beef & tomato Pot Noodle.
BBQ beef or Chow Mein Supernoodles.
Dairylea sliced cheese on top of spaghetti hoops on toast.
Chicken & bacon Crispy Pancakes.

Fredastaireatemyjamsandwich · 14/12/2019 22:23

Plastic cheese slices, spam, and squirty cream (Barbara!) if it’s the fake cream with added sugar, even better. Served with tinned mandarin oranges!

HeronLanyon · 14/12/2019 22:27

Frazzles (or similar)
Wotsits
Dairylea
Crisps and dips.

Egghead68 · 14/12/2019 22:29

Supernoodles without cooking them - just eaten crunchy straight out of the pack.

Egghead68 · 14/12/2019 22:30

Squirty cream with hot chocolate powder on it.

Readthisearlier · 14/12/2019 22:43

Oh, chicken supernoodles with cut up hotdog sausages (the cheapest ear and arsehole ones) is food of the gods.

Crystal87 · 14/12/2019 22:50

Tinned ravioli on toast. Microwave donner kebabs. Hamwiches.

Onlygirlinmyhouse1 · 14/12/2019 22:54

Red box cheesy pasta on white bread😍 DH thinks it’s disgusting. Just rediscovered cheesy crispy pancakes now mozzarella and tomato but they hit the spot! Found in Sainsbury’s

Thismummyruns · 14/12/2019 22:57
