Stew for that matter as they try to cal it something else now I bought a ready meal of beef stew and dumplings from tesco got home and found it had garlic in it, who has ever put garlic in a traditional British stew and dumplings.

FoxInBlue Posted 8 September 2016 Posted 8 September 2016 When I go fishing I like to eat the luncheon meat that I'm supposed to use as bait. It's so soft and salty mmmmmmmmm

FoxInBlue Posted 8 September 2016 Posted 8 September 2016 Just now, Countryfox said: Me too ... and the sweet corn ... but I draw the line at the maggots. I eat the sweetcorn now and again but a tin of luncheon meat plus my actual lunch is usually enough for me. As a kid I put a maggot in my mouth, not done it since (I'm aware how that sounds, I had fantastic counseling so alls good. Although we don't see as much of my dads mate as we use to, strange)

thursday_next Posted 8 September 2016 Posted 8 September 2016 Everybody talks about corned beef, but nobody talks about corned beef disasters. Most of the time the tin works alright, then you get confident and mess it up. You end up trying to get the corned beef out with a fork in extremely hazardous circumstances, most of which involve severing your hand.
Clever Fox Posted 8 September 2016 Posted 8 September 2016 Corned Beef on top of nice fresh Bread with Chippers Chips. Absolutely gorgeous. Great for Breakfast or a day at the Beach.

Yep, not sure why corned beef has to come in a special tin with a sort of key to open in, when other canned meats are perfectly happy with a ringpull. And you can't open it with a can opener because of the shape of the can, angle of corners are too tight. Corned beef is strictly for those with experience of opening tin cans
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 8 September 2016 Posted 8 September 2016 Is black pudding old people food? I just thought it was old timey, but everyone knows the full english is not full unless it's got a good slab of black pudding. I love it
cambridgefox Posted 8 September 2016 Posted 8 September 2016 I bought one of those fray Bentos suet puddings today after reading this and thought they were aimed for the old. i heard some old women say once"I like chocolate,but it doesn't like me " classic.

Shocking shout. I can quite easily justify it since it was one of my not-so-young Grandad's favourite things to order when we went out for family dinners and nobody else in the family ordered it. My second piece of anecdotal evidence is the observation that about 80% of the gammon dishes I serve at work go to people in their later years (not a hard fact to be sure, I don't survey every dish I send out for service).
Finnaldo Posted 9 September 2016 Posted 9 September 2016 Would black pudding count? Cracking stuff live for it. At this point I'm classing old person food as something you'd eat back in t'day when you were earning a tuppence a week and had to eat what they gave you on the ration cards. The stuff that people cringe at today before biting into a juicy pile of shite from McD's or BK

Hmmmm now you mention it, when I was in that trade, it definitely was as favourite of the 'older generation'. I retract my original statement!
