Growing up it was classed as a proper dinner now we joke and say it was cause my mum was a council mum 😂 she lived off benefits and if we didn't have much this was our dinner a few nights of the week.. No offence meant towards anyone I just remember it being called this 😂

Norpack, Innit?

I had a fish finger sandwich earlier and a crisp sandwich a little while ago.

Gossipjunkie22 · 12/01/2020 21:20

Fish fingers sandwiches are so good specially with salad cream 😋

Have to say, I just assumed you were pissed.
It's nice to see someone so easily amused though.

And well done you for not being skint.

Umm...

Ahahahahahaha. Weeping with laughter face etc
Just so I fit in.

Gossipjunkie22 · 12/01/2020 21:29

No I'm not pissed, wish I was though 😂 (oops!)

Not skint but not rich either got enough food to last the month and I can manage travel to work until pay day so all is financially okay-ish

@LaMarschallin what's with all the haha's and wheepy faces in your comment? 😝

It just seemed to be obligatory punctuation.

What's with all the hahas and weepy faces in yours?

I often click on food threads (I love to cook and I love to eat) but I've never seen anyone moved to such leg-wetting hilarity by soss, beans, chips and a buttered slice as you.

I was intrigued and thought I'd try it out.

(Seriously, you're not pissed? Gosh)

How is sausage hips and beans weird?

ClientListQueen · 12/01/2020 21:39

Tinned peaches and custard is lovely

dingdang · 12/01/2020 21:41

My council tea is mini Kievs and tinned boiled potatoes but I've not had it in years!

Gossipjunkie22 · 12/01/2020 21:43

I just absolutely love the haha emoji and I'm a happy person who likes to laugh at things.. Quick lock me up 👮

And nope I'm 100% sober

OP posts:
Gossipjunkie22 · 12/01/2020 21:44

Oh dingdang that sounds nice, I buy loads of tinned potatoes as they can be added to stews, stovies, burry and all sorts to bulk them up

This post has made me hungry. Gagging for a council tea now! I'd have egg, beans and chips for choice 💕

73kittycat73 · 12/01/2020 21:53

Baked beans, sweetcorn, pickled onions, and loads of Salad Cream (Used like gravy.) all mixed up together. Grin

73kittycat73 · 12/01/2020 21:55

Vegetable finger sandwiches, with Salad Cream are nice too.

ginandgingers92 · 12/01/2020 21:57

Someone I know eats chicken korma with pasta... apparently they didn't know 'you could have it with rice' 😳🤦🏼‍♀️

TweetUsOnFacebook · 12/01/2020 21:59

Lasagne with baked beans is something everyone should try.

Gossipjunkie22 · 12/01/2020 22:01

They all sound pretty good tbh my favourite so far and I sooo want to try is chicken korma with pasta that sounds yummy.

Sorry @growingboys I didn't mean to make you hungry but its not too late for a council dinner 😂

Our ‘slum it’ was plain long grain rice with grated cheese and packet ham folded in or fusilli with Dolmio chunky veg sauce and grated cheese.

dingdang · 12/01/2020 22:09

We used to eat mayo on toast with salt and vinegar after the pub as students... I don't think I could go there these days 🤣

Gossipjunkie22 · 12/01/2020 22:18

Oh that's just nasty dingdang lol in my student days I ate microwaved pasta with ketchup 🤮
