Crispy pancakes
Potato waffles
Angel delight
Fray Bentos.
Do not ever revisit these things. The memories are of succulent treats. The reality mings.
The only thing I can think of that holds up is tinned chunky chicken. Had some recently for the first time in 20 years. Still nom. Council, obvs, but nom.
What's wrong with waffles? Potato waffles

As above, like eating crispy cotton wool balls. No real flavour or substance, just a dry, powdery texture once you get through the initial crunch.Kids thought they were great though, but then they also like eating bogies, so I can't trust their judgement on food.
Thanks for reminding me.
Bought a FB Pie-in-a-tin last week for £1 on special offer. I think it may have made it's way to it's natural position of the back of the cupboard to be forgotten until the day you come back off holiday and there's sod all fresh in.
Have a funny feeling the last time I was such a cheapskate I didn't enjoy it that much. But going to take one for the thread and try it tomorrow night.
Oh well, I'll let you know tomorrow.

I nearly burned my house down by popping a couple of these in the oven and going for a 'lie down' after coming home from the local flat roofed pub pissed up one evening.
I was woken up by the fire alarm two hours later and had a house full of smoke (smoke alarm was upstairs and the smoke had some way to travel to activate it).
I no longer try to cook anything after a pub sesh, that incident scared the hell out of me.
As a man who has converted many frozen pizzas into carbon flywheels whilst tired and emotional, I can agree this is a bad idea.I was woken up by the fire alarm two hours later and had a house full of smoke (smoke alarm was upstairs and the smoke had some way to travel to activate it).

May I suggest eating beans cold out of the tin after a night of sitting on plastic white chairs in the 'beer garden' (read pavement) of your local FRP (flat roofed pub, for the *clears throat* slower of you). I'm a connoisseur and can advise only Heinz will do.
Funny that, every time I cook a big tin of beans for the kids I always have to leave some in the tin, so I can eat them right out of the can stone cold with a spoon!nigelpugh7 said:

That's so Council it may have gone full circle as to not be Council though! I can see a bearded hipster in Shoreditch serving that up.
Well, unless the 'dogs' are this variety...
It's exactly those dogs we have, clearly they are proper council then! Well, unless the 'dogs' are this variety...
However crap they are I love those, but can't force myself to buy any mechanically recovered meat. For those who may not know, when all the cuts of meat have been removed from an animal everything that is left (the crap...) is taken off by a device resembling an electronic Edward Scissorhands, nice. Really hard to find 'plastic' hotdogs that don't contain it. Gross
