What food item won't get eaten (light pls)

[Polkadotpjs]

I’ve just been going through my cupboards and found this beauty - cannot see anyone eating it and nobody knows its origins??!
Where did it come from? Who bought it? Sounds vile

Yes you can, substitute some if the butter fir it, but not all.

I made some a while ago and was almost run off MN when I posted about it, but that was back in the dark pre ottolenghi days. Some posters from Scotland might or might have threatened with violence.

A tin of Tesco on brand mushroom soup, I rarely buy tinned anything and HATE mushrooms. I am the only person that does the shopping, kids might eat tomato soup but even that's rare. How did it get there?

Oh fuck.

Meant to buy tinned mushrooms.

This is not a weird food at all but I sent my H shopping last week and he came back with a four pack of spaghetti hoops. Like I say, not weird but I have never known anyone including our two DC's eat spaghetti hoops in our lives? Everytime I open the cupboard, I look at them and shake my head

DH and I love spaghetti hoops. You'll be grateful for them when the world runs out baked beans!

DH brought a tin of those goblin burgers about a year ago as he was being nostalgic or something.

What is it about men and their food nostalgia gene? I've never met a woman who has one but my OH raids the local Church fairs for the luminous piccalili, just like his grandma made, he buys faggots and was upset that the ones from an expensive butcher weren't as good as the cheap frozen ones, he covets Vesta meals and these awful pies in tins that the opener won't tackle.

Personally I can’t wait to get stuck into the butter beans,

Lovely mixed in with ,mashed potato and a good slug of garlic

Eggysmum - I can confirm that people in NW London don’t eat cannelloni - only pasta left at Sainsbury’s this weekend. I bought it same as OP thinking pasta is pasta - I’ll just break it!

I have nothing to offer as I, fucking stupidly it now appears, cleaned out my cupboards in January... there were some things I definitely could have swapped for the marmite peanut butter

An almost full bag of Chia seeds.
I wanted to try making chia pudding. So much fiber. So much protein. So much overwhelming flavor of almost vegetable taste mixed with plastic and fresh cut grass, but not quite.

I haven’t thrown them out because we may get desperate enough to eat the disgusting things.

A tin of corned beef. I prepped for a potential no-deal Brexit and somehow bought a tin as part of that. I remember thinking that if we didnt use it I would donate it to the FoodBank but I think its it's still at the back of the cupboard.

We would probably need to have run out of everything else before I open. it

@purpleartichokeheart if eggs don't make a come back(none to be had locally to me) they are used in vegan cakes as a binder.hang on to them!!

I saw stray tin anchovies on empty tin food aisle yesterday.we don't eat hairy fish here!what I do buy DC devour like plague locusts
The meat eaters love spam,corned beef etc
Fig rolls would go and the licorice all-sorts.am I raising vintage eating DC??🤣
Think tinned snails wouldn't get a home mind!

I have a tin in my cupboard. The label came off about 6 years ago and I have no idea what's in it.

I also have marmite peanut butter. I baulked the first time I had some. But as I hate food waste I returned to the jar some time later.bi can confirm the original pungency has diminished and it's ok now. (Lesson to self....if it's £1 in Home Bargain there's a good reason because no one else wants it...).

I’ll have anybody’s corned beef.

Dh is v fond of it in a sort of hash - fried potatoes and onion, mix in cubed CB to heat through, plus plenty of chopped, lightly cooked cabbage.

FGS, whoever has lots of tins of Mulligatawny, just donate it to the food bank if you’re too scared to try it.

You seem to be a fan of The Russian Roulette school of prepping.

@Pinkarsedfly 😂😂😂 I literally cried laughing, thanks for that.

OP this thread is fab. I shall rummage the kitchen cupboards now

Pickled walnuts - they sounded like a good idea at the time.

Tinned chickpeas not sure why i bought them, guess i could make houmous but that would require ingredients i don't have

I discovered yesterday that Best before 2017 jarred petit pois do not make good soup- weird chemical taste and looked like slurry. Luckily it was an experiment and I have other food available.

Look up ceci e pasta, also because then with some garlic and tomatos and spices.

There are millions of things to do with chickpeas.

Chickpeas are great in chilli con carne (I hate kidney beans so chickpeas go into everything as a substitute).

Plum

Honestly, pickled walnuts in beef stew are fabulous, although I can see why you might be hesitant to take my word for it because it would be an expensive mistake to make if you disagreed and found them horrid. I’d be more than happy to swap them for my marshmallow fluff.

I have in my fridge a jar of tahini with one spoon taken out from DD’s experiment with home made humus (delicious but soooo much faff). Might dig out Ottolenghi’s biscuit recipe except that I’m rationing the flour.

The smash mashed potatoes walked past and grabbed a tub, but probably won't be getting eaten unless all potatoes disappear.
I saw a recipe in the Tesco magazine for chowder, using instant mash.

Crunchy peanut butter. It tears up my bread when I try to use it but I won't throw it away. Spread it on toast?
Dh is v fond of it in a sort of hash - fried potatoes and onion, mix in cubed CB to heat through, plus plenty of chopped, lightly cooked cabbage. Mum used to make something we called "rice mush"-savoury rice with chopped up corned beef in it. I used to do it when we were camping too.

We have a tube of black lava salt, whatever that is. I've opened it at one point, and it smells strongly of sulphur. Very strongly. I don't really know if I'll ever want that much eggyness on anything.

@motherheroic - a teaspoon of crunchy peanut butter is good if you add a teaspoon of cocoa powder and same of sugar.

Tastes like Marathon Snickers.

There’s a tin of chicken supreme in a cupboard of ours.. I think one of the kids brought it home from the tombola at a school fete.
