Rustlers have a shelf life of over 3 weeks.

Bookers will knock them down to silly sub-50p prices on their expiry day. Buy an armful, they at good to eat several days beyond their "use by" date. Its not as if food with a 3 week shelf life turns deadly on its last day, there is a very big margin for error.

So yes, yes I do feel smug, buying my rustlers for less than your Aldi burgers wink

I get quite a slagging off for it, but I rather like an instant mash called MrMash. It's fine as long as you add the usuall butter,milk, salt & pepper. Not a fan of the SMASH mash, not sure what it is about it.
Also these.

Use them in stir frys and sometimes have it as part of a fried egg sandwhich.

Full of nutritional goodness.



And although sticky 'rib' flavour, contains no meat at all and suitable for veggies. Weird.

I love rustlers burgers, but only rustlers. Any others have been a bit rubbish.

I put an extra bit of cheese on it and for the first 30 seconds microwave it upside down, this stops the bun getting wet.

I start off toasting the bun for about 1 1/2 minutes, then microwave the patty. Once cooked, bottom half of bun, add sainsbury's crispy bacon strips and brown sauce, add patty and cheese, more bacon and red sauce. Top on, nom away

I was thinking of starting a thread like this the other day, as I enjoyed a bacon sandwich in sliced white bread, with a cup of instant coffee.

I share your excitement on that one - Reds is a constant source of temptation for me but I've told myself I'll only visit when I lose some weight and earn it as a treat.

Beef & Tomato Pot Noodles. I had one a couple of weeks ago for the first time in ages and forgotten how much I liked them. Lacking a bit in flavour to what I remember but it still hit the spot!
Add an extra squirt of ketchup, even better then
