love a bit of home bargains…pop in planning on grabbing a couple of items for a fiver…come out 30 quid later with four bags of domestic products, toiletries and sweets
Oohhhhh, carrier bags. I simply cannot bear to be seen with a Poundland or Home Bargains carrier bag.
I would much rather shop at Home Bargains, but put everything I buy into the M&S bag I have brought with me.
Coffee - can’t drink it when back home now.
The fruit juices are definitely on another level - peach is worth a try too.Speaking of Italian beverages I wish we had apricot juice over here.
Bean to cup coffee …. Put that instant coffee shite in front of me and I get all snooty. Start quoting the exquisite differences in aroma and flavours depending on where the coffee bean originated from. I recognise myself as a complete wanker but can’t stop myself from doing it. The wife just apologises to people.
lol - thats not snobby about coffeeHmm, probably coffee; has to be Douwe Egberts or Nescafé Gold Blend as the cheap stuff tastes like chemicals to me.
Now this is definitely sounding snobby - but have you definitely had decent salmon?Never liked it, and pretty much the only fish I don't like

Add this to the list actually - fish. It was only when i became pescatarian and had to eat more fish to get any protein (used to hate fish unless it was just cod), that i realised that fish shouldn't smell or taste fishy at all. If it does, it's not fresh.
You should be able to smell a piece of raw salmon and it just smell like nothing.
Username checks outSalmon, for some reason still much prefer a tin of John West Red Salmon to salmon steaks or slices of smoked salmon. Wife cannnot understand it.
I think Aldi's own brand baked beans are the best. I too used to prefer HP, but they stopped making them over here and they never tasted the same again.Salmon, for some reason still much prefer a tin of John West Red Salmon to salmon steaks or slices of smoked salmon. Wife cannnot understand it.
Coffee, now it gets awkward. Never used to drink the stuff until I went to Australia on holiday, then fell totally in love with it. Got a decent machine and fresh beans and really do enjoy a good cup of coffee.
Biscuits, always like McVities Rich Tea biscuits, they are plain non fussy and not too sweet., and yes, I do have them with a cup of coffee.
Baked beans, always Heinz theses days although used to prefer HP but just don't see them anymore.
And I fucking hate it when the wife buys cheap cheese and insists it's just as good as the decent stuff I buy.
Lurpack butter or at a push Country Life, cannot stand margarine, the taste makes me gag.
Yes, Branston are very good. I find Heinz amongst the very worst to be honest.Branston baked beans are the best by far. Heinz are just watery. Branston has a nice thick sauce that tastes as good as it looks.
Will have to give them a try, do miss HP though.Yes, Branston are very good. I find Heinz amongst the very worst to be honest.
Used to buy HP if I couldn't get Branston. Can never understand why Heinz has such a following. They normally come near the bottom of every taste test and are expensive compared to most of the others.Will have to give them a try, do miss HP though.
Also will only buy red sauce in a bottle.
Better than own brand.Yes, Branston are very good. I find Heinz amongst the very worst to be honest.
you do know its from India/Sri Lanka/China, don't you? 'Yorkshire' is just a word on the cardboard outer wrapping.Tea. If it isn't Yorkshire, I'm not drinking it!
you actually only need:This always got me. Unless you live in a small village. Why put the county on the letter?

That's all you need. The letter will get to you!
especially if you've got CovidYou should be able to smell a piece of raw salmon and it just smell like nothing.
Should have said 'glass bottle', not one of those squeezy things.Used to buy HP if I couldn't get Branston. Can never understand why Heinz has such a following. They normally come near the bottom of every taste test and are expensive compared to most of the others.
How else can you buy red sauce?

I will stick to caviar for my butties.It’s the only fish I’ve never liked the taste of. It looks more appetising raw than cooked, which might be a factor for me.
I will stick to caviar for my butties.
I take it you're naked when you are eating them then?I will stick to caviar for my butties.
Holy fucking shit no wayyou do know its from India/Sri Lanka/China, don't you? 'Yorkshire' is just a word on the cardboard outer wrapping.
No need to panic. Worcestershire sauce is still made in Worcester.Holy fucking shit no way
next thing you’ll be saying Worcestershire sauce isn’t all made in Worcestershire
What about Bombay duck and baked Alaska?No need to panic. Worcestershire sauce is still made in Worcester.
Only the Lea and PerrinsNo need to panic. Worcestershire sauce is still made in Worcester.
I'm not sure if either are made in Worcester I'm afraid.What about Bombay duck and baked Alaska?
While we're at it, a slightly absurd one but... spreadable sardine and tomato paste has to be Princes rather than supermarket brand.
Tastes great on toast! A nice artisan baked bread mind you!
That's the snob bit. Prince's was always called 'spread'. The cheap shite was 'paste'.Im amazed they still sell paste
