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.

Pot Noodle beef and tomato flavour with the sachet of cheap ketchup you get with.

As other posters Baked Beans with mini sausages in and tins of macaroni cheese.

Also mini scotch egg bites.

Gluten free bread just does not work for:

Crisp sandwiches
Marmite and salad cream sandwiches
Marmite and strawberry jam sandwiches
Instant mash and salad cream sandwiches

It does work (as long as the butter is kept out of the fridge) for chip shop chips and butter sandwiches

Chicken nugget butty on white toastie bread with loads of real butter.
Oven chip butty.
Richmond sausage butty.
Mattesons smoked sausage butty.
Crisp butty (roast chicken is best, then frazzles).
Potato waffles covered with a mound of cheese so it all melts into the holes.

Mmm, salty carbs Smile

Heinz chicken and mushroom toast toppers. Do they even sell those any more? 😬😅

@catwithflowers

I loooove those! DH has never heard of them Shock

sheikhandbake · 16/12/2019 13:52

On the back of this post I’ve just had to run out and buy some wotsits. I live in the Middle East so had to pay 6 quid for them but it will be worth it!

When I’m home I love cheap Swiss roll, no cream just the cheapest raspberry Swiss roll from Asda - I’ll eat it in one sitting!

Sadly you can no longer get toast toppers.
You can get sandwich spread and findus crispy pancakes though, ooh, and vesta chow mein with the crispy noodles.

Yes you can, I eat them regularly.

MustardScreams · 16/12/2019 14:53

Where do you buy them? Heinz discontinued them a few years ago.

IHaveBrilloHair · 16/12/2019 14:53
