On a scale of 1 - 10, how chavvy am I?

[LadyandGent]

I woke up this morning in agony. No food in. Only shop across the road is a small corner shop type job. I've just purchased a tinned Princes Mince and Veg pie
Must get to Lidl for a good stock up prior to blooming Brexit or I'll starve to death.
My mission for February is to spend about 100 quid on essentials.

I used to live off steak puddings you could buy from poundland in a little red container that you microwaved!

Can't remember the brand for the life of me but I would sit down to one of them right now if I could - so grotty, yet so good!

Surely it would have been more chavvy to buy a pot noodle?

I have never had a pie from a tin, but it does sound unpleasant.

Not nearly chavvy enough. The "veg" were a mistake.

At least a Pot Noodle wouldn't have gristle.

Disclaimer - I have never had a Pot Noodle either.

I had two packs of Frazzles for tea. Sometimes I eat black pudding sandwiches with ketchup. I'm not chavy.

I'd never seen a Fray Bentos pie before I met my ex, and still can't believe that anyone would buy, cook and eat something that looked like that. I think it's a British thing, I've never knowingly seen one in an Irish supermarket.

I have no idea, but i yhink you're a bit of a prat for casually banding the word 'chavy' about.

I'd forgotten about a Toast Toppers. Used to love the chicken and mushroom one, it was like vol au vent filling or condensed soup! You put a thick layer on toast and grilled it until hot.

Oh I just couldn’t that’s grim🤢
However some of my pregnancy cravings were on a par with that
Sandwich spread
Peperami
Super Noodles
Not so much chav more 80s
Real chavs get McDs delivered.

Never had a Princes pie in a tin, but Fray Bentos pies in tins are surprisingly nice! Didn't know those were still on sale, actually...

Hollands Steak and Kidney puddings. 2 for £4 at Iceland. Can't beat them.

Ham and cheese toast toppers! Amazing!

Sorry to be humourless (and I know you’re all being ‘lighthearted’and I’ll get a good kicking) but I fucking hate the word ‘chav’. It’s so smug DM reader. Some of us are from chav stock; once the salt of the earth, now the scum of the earth, in our leggings, eating our cheap food and getting laughed at for being dealt the wrong set of cards in life . Toddles off to join Nethuns where I belong ...

Actually Fray Bentos doesn’t have half the fat of a Waitrose pie or the carbs ( ok so also a third less beef).
And they are yum.
Called “babies head” in our house, thanks to military ex.

Fray Bentos steak and kidney pies were our treat on caravan holidays in the 50s. I loved that slimy pastry, and the little bits of kidney.

The other holiday treat was tomatoes fried in butter with lots of sliced white bread to mop up the juices.

Mmmm I lived on tinned pies and tinned potato’s when I first moved out (age 18), also crispy pancakes, potato waffles and super noodles.

Used to be able to get a packed of noodles for 4p from quick save

I saw crispy pancakes in Farmfoods today. Think they had cheese and beef and onion ones.

Eh? YouokHun
We are laughing at OURSELVES not other people.
Clearly not the offspring of Jacob-Rees Mogg if I've noshed on a Hollands pie or two or three.

In fact I'm from such poor stock that I put the hyphen in the wrong place.
Must go to Pedants' corner for a telling off.

I buy crispy pancakes for dd (there’s not many foods she will eat), they don’t taste as good as they used too, less salt in them now, not as tasty.

EchoCardioGran I skim read that and thought you were admitting to noshing on Jacob Rees-Mogg.

I’d rather have a Fray Bentos.

EchoCardioGran yep I get that but I just hate that word.

Lovemusic33 you just add salt after you've cooked them! (Not the ones you give your daughter, obvs, please nobody shout at me).
