Ok, not often, granted but I could happily chow my way through any of the big bags of Happy Shopper brand crisps eg. onion rings or prawn cocktail twirls. You can keep your Kettle Chips.

I also love Frankfurter sausages and Cheesestrings.

What 'crap' foods do you love?

Chocolate, crisps, ice cream with chocolate sauce, cheese and biscuits, donuts, brownies, popcorn ..

.. oh my god I'm hungry and I've literally just had my dinner (and a brownie Blush)

Omg! Happy shopper or supermarket 2 for £1 big packets of crisps.
I love all crisps but the fake frazzles, wotsits and onion rings are the best!

PurpleDaisies · 13/11/2020 21:38

I love this thread. Most of mine have been mentioned already.

Happy shoppers poppadums are amazing
Spar burger bites
Bobby’s rib wotsit type crisps/barbecue party mix (or any of their crisps really)
Lidl fake alphabites
Poppy and sesame seed crackers
Cheese and broccoli pasta n sauce
Plastic cheese slices

Tinned hot dogs
Beef super noodles
Salt and vinegar chipstix
Those fish n chips crisp things
Pretzel sticks from the polish bit of the world food aisle

Lots of these I can’t eat any more because of a dairy issue and I went veggie. I do miss them though!

Snax something snax is ringing a bell!

Fake bacon butties or a fry-up with fake bacon, fake sausages, a couple of fried eggs, sliced mushrooms and some tomatoes, all served up with a decent helping of tesco own brand brown sauce.

PurpleDaisies · 13/11/2020 21:42

I forgot crap cheese sandwiches! Cheap white bread, thick butter, grated rubbery mild cheddar. Delicious.

Rustlers burgers that take 90 secs in the microwave.
Kraft cheesy pasta.
Findus crispy pancakes.

Takes me back to my clubbing days.

TwoZeroTwoZero · 13/11/2020 21:54

Well, it's not exactly good for you is it and I've seen so many people on here turn their noses up at fake meat that I thought it was a big no-no!

Other crap food I like is:
Supermarket own brand Frazzles; chocolate flavour Pop Tarts and Gregg's veg slices that I can find in Iceland but not in an actual Gregg's shop.

TwoZeroTwoZero · 13/11/2020 21:55

Sorry, that was in response to @PurpleDaisies. For some reason the reply function didn't work.

Nosuchthingastoomuchcheese · 13/11/2020 22:05

SweetMilkyFilth · 13/11/2020 22:15
