to complain about spending 3 quid on a bowl of heinz tomato soup in the pub.

[lovelysongbirdie]

ordered soup of the day

fecking tinned heinz tomato soup with stale bread.

that is rubbish! name and shame the pub

How do you know it was tinned Heinz?

oh, 2yo dd wanted soup today in the pub, but I told her it wouldn't be the delicious heinz handmade tomato soup she is used to. So she had chips instead.

I went out once with work and ended up eating sweet and sour pork made with Uncle Bens Sauce!! !!

That's shameful. Reminds me of the Royle Family Xmas special where Denise served cup a soups for starter..

But how did you know it was Uncle Bens?
I saw the Royle Family - classy!

I could tell it was UB's as i have cooked it before at home and it was excactly the same flavour. Absolutely no doubt it was UB's.

Ah, but you have no proof. (can you tell that I'm bored?)

Yup.............

DH had soup of the day last week. £2.50 in a cafe. He swears to god it was a chicken cupasoup. Served in a bowl with croutons and a crap bread roll.

I doubt it was even heinz. It was probably from a HUGE carton of powdered catering brand soup.

Wait for it wait for it..........How do you know it was cupasoup!!!

If it said anything about it being homemade then def complain.

I don't know how he knew it was cupasoup. But I do know he virtually lived off them in his student days and i'd trust him to recognise it (sad, I know...)

And there were two choices. Tomato or cream of chicken.

Sorry i was being faecitious(sp) after the original how do you know posts!!

DH and i went to a pseudo posh and expensive restaurant on our hols years ago. DH is Mr Angel Delight and they served him strawberry mousse YUP! Angel Delight!

Sorry, I have no sense of humour. Honest!

went to a £££ gastropub were the floridly described fluffy maris piper was badly made smash

lumpy smash congealed lumps in middle

Sorry to upset you Lottie, but I still want to know how the OP knew it was tinned Heinz soup.

I once spent the best part of 24 hours making Heston Blumenthal's cream of tomoato soup.

It turned out precisely the same as Heinz, and equally delish.

I am being facietous. Sorry

is there anyone who couldn't tell what Heinz tomato soup tastes like

tis very distinctive and if you have tastebuds and eat it a fair bit you will easily recognise it.

I know what you mean.
I asked for black tea when I was out one day and was charged £1.80.

Now that would be enough for 80 PGtips .

I obviously didn't have children & needed to get out more when I did the Heston B soup thing .

Dear me.

My friend caused a scene in a cafe for the same reason. The menu offered homemade soup which turned out to be Heinz so she would only give them the cost of the tin.

I went to Toyk in Solihull a while back and ordered soup, to be told half an hour later that the chef couldn't find it!

worked in poncy gaff were they purported to sell "home made" soup (baxters carton soup) with some fresh herbs sprinkled over

no one noticed
man asked for mammy's recipe -nae kidding
