To seriously consider complaining about this telly advert for no other reason than it makes me feel SICK?

[BupcakesandHaunting]

That Philadelphia one where there is a male chef and a lady cooking some rancid dinner made out of meatballs that look like fucking little dog shit pellets mixed in with Philadelphia and green stuff.

Honestly, it makes me wretch. I've never had such an aversion to something on the telly. I've had no appetite for a week and am trying to get it back the this pops up on the telly every 5 minutes and makes my stomach wince.

It's disgusting and I want it taken off air immediately.

Did I spell that right?

I'd suggest that the extra needed might be to leave out the Philadelphia entirely and just have your sausages with some mash and gravy.

Is it this? If so it doesn't look too bad?

Clearly I'm putting off the jobs I need to do, so have just looked at the Philly website. If that meatball recipe makes you feel sick, you must have very weak constitutions! It looks fine - a bit bland, but fine. Not much different from Swedish meatballs in cream sauce a la IKEA.

Meat in cheese or cream sauce is very common, surely? Stroganoff, steak and blue cheese, pork with cream and apples.. Etc, etc, etc...

In olden times we used to believe a tin of Campbells Condensed soup - in its condensed form mind - made a tasty and convenient sauce.

Glutinous boak of Satan, and a salt-based kidney failure to boot....

beef olive shitballs!

It's like the thickos on tripadvisor again, beef nuts.

You try broad bean bacon and anchovy bruschetta. A slab of bread toasted into oblivion, smushed up broad beans (already the food of the dead) looking like phlegm, anchovies in a criss cross pattern and then crispy bacon crushed over the top.

I have got to start a thread to ask for advice about Jewish food as she is making a jewish menu for a school project. She has bought a jar of gefilte fish - it's in my cupboard and it is scaring the shit out of me that she is going to open that, cook it and make me eat it.

singers oh yes, totally agree that meat and cream/cheese is a delicious combo, but not meatballs and cream/cheese. Urgh at meatballs in a creamy sauce.

I don't think Ikea can be trusted either, I ate meatballs there in jam once.

Yes wilson I made a pie from campbells condensed chicken soup once.

It was not good.

When I clicked on this thread, I thought maybe it was going to be that one for beef gravy with the CGI bull singing 'I like the way you moo'. I find that strangely offputting.

YANBU for finding the cats vom meatballs revolting, but not sure it's grounds for an actual complaint.

She should have had the decency to let you have the toast and bacon on their own, ideally before she toasted the bread.

I hate the slimy cow advert too. Its disgusting.

This is available in the US. I think they're trying to soften us up for it.

I have no problem with the principle of meat and creamy sauce. My problem is that the meal displayed in this particular advert looks like congealed vomit. A lot.

"In olden times we used to believe a tin of Campbells Condensed soup - in its condensed form mind - made a tasty and convenient sauce"

Until I learned the right and propah way to do it Jamie Oliver's way I used to use Campbell's condensed mushroom soup to make a mushroom risotto. I really thought I was doing it properly. DH and I had an amazing mushroom risotto on honeymoon in Rome and it tasted like it had got CCS stirred through it. Well, I did replicate the taste quite well but I think they did it by adding cream and porcini mushrooms rather than fucking soup.

Yy to the slimy dancing cow. Needs killing.

In my mind meatballs do not go with cheese sauce. Meatballs in a tomato and red wine sauce with perhaps a little bit of cheese sprinkled on top is an entirely different matter. Really though Bupcakes you must be watching a lot of telly if you see this advert so often, perhaps get a nice boxset to watch instead

I feel the same about both adverts.

A few years ago, Philadelphia had an advert where they were showing its many cookery uses, and it showed a little girl taking a fingerful of Philly off a birthday cake .

Can it be mixed with sugar or something to use as icing (naive)?

I am ill

Hang on... you put philladelphia on digestives?!

Isn't the topping for a carrot cake made from cream cheese and icing sugar?

YANBU, Bups.

Who has white sauce with meatballs anyway ? Bleurgh.

Philadelphia is made for digestives. Why else would you get digestives in a box of biscuits for cheese?

Are you healthy?

I've never worked that out either Bupcakes
