Spagetti hoops...Is terrible

[norwegianWomen]

I am from Norway and we have got a british store called iceland food in Oslo. My british friends say that i should try spaggeti hoops because it is so popular in UK. So I did that. I don`t understand how it can be so popular. Do you like spagetti hoops? I just ate it from the box. Maybe I should add something more to it ?

I'm British. They are revolting (hot or cold) and an embarrassment. Baked beans though are terrific either way.

They are absolutely revolting. When I was younger and went to Brownies, a girl in my six used to have them every time before Brownies started. I could smell that horrible spaghetti hoop smell on her, I hated it and actually begged my mum to let me stop going. Shuddering at the memory. 🤮

@norwegianWomen try Marmite if they have it. Hot toast with lots of butter and a very thin layer of marmite. You'll either love it or hate it.

@libertyminty yikes I hope you weren’t at Brownies with my DD 😊 🤣🤣

I love spaghetti hoops

My real can’t be arsed meal is spag hoops with a pile of toast

They are vile.

They are the food of the devil 🤮

Definitely try marmite. I have recently discovered that you can roast potatoes with marmite and they're surprisingly delicious.

@ShowOfHands roast potatoes with marmite? Please tell me more.

YANBU they are disgusting!

I don't like hoops either! They're like mush, nothing like pasta and not tomatoey enough!

@PorpentiaScamander you can add bourbon too apparently!

I used to love them but pretty sure they've taken all the salt and sugar out and now they are yuk!

it's the most pointless food imo.
if you want pasta - have pasta.
but this tinned stuff is gloopy and way too soft. plus it tastes weirdly metal-y.

No, they are horrid. Bland, soggy "pasta" in an overly sweet watery sauce that tastes nothing like tomato.

Your english is very good.

Tinned spaghetti hoops goes really well with poached eggs and proper homemade chips. 😁, and thickly buttered bread.

Basically you treat them the same as you would baked beans in a can.

You're not wrong. They're vile.

Mmm having hoops for tea. Buttered white toast, cheese on top and brown sauce. Perfect

OP steer clear they are vile

I absolutely hate spaghetti hoops. I have ever since childhood. I really wanted to like them because of all those shapes they could also come in - alphabet and cartoon characters etc. But they're horrible.

Wow, unusual. I’ve spent a lot of time in Norway. Never met a single Norwegian who didn’t speak English. I’m told 95% of Norwegians are fluent. Especially in and around Oslo.

I daresay there is a lot of Norwegian food which wouldn’t go down well in the U.K. either. Lutefisk or Grillpølse for example.

Every so often when shopping I'd think "oo spaghetti hoops, I haven't had them for ages". Then when eating them I realise why. They are absolutely disgusting. I now have them on my anti-shopping list "do not buy tinned spaghetti because it tastes like shit".

Spag hoops are ace. With vinegar, salt and cheese grated on top. Don’t judge.

That is an awful lot of fannying around for roast potatoes!
