Essentially anything that is processed in anyway or has artificial cr*p in it I won't touch. Oh and milk, probably the best thing to cut out of anyones diet.

+1 to all of that.

Its a bit sad isn't it - all those hungry mouths to feed and we define ourselves by the foods we'll refuse to eat, dreaming up new reasons to avoid different foods every week. Huzzah for us.

Greggs sausage rolls for the kids.

If you've forgotten the dummy how else can you keep them quiet? Proud and Geordie roots here!

I love the snobbery in this thread. Anyone denying themselves the pleasure of a Fray Bentos is just wrong in many ways.

It's a fair point, but I don't think we should eat all of the unhealthy disgusting shit these companies make just because it's there.

Mmmmm I do like a crispy fried Andouilette. They haven't got any [i]artificial[/i] crap in them. It's all real. And pigs kidneys - to make the set.

I haven't had a Fray Bentos pie for years. Might have to indulge. How can ANY pie be bad? Does not compute, I'm afraid

I've bee round the Goblin Pie factory. Simpsons in Manchester. Very disappointed to learn they've had to stop using real goblins due to some health & safety nonsense.

Milk, butter and cheese are fine to eat as much as you like. One day a week. It's the insulin reaction (if you're on that diet).

When I was stuck working in Cumbernauld for a week many years ago, the local chippy sold those cheap frozen place mat pizzas, dipped in batter, deep fried, and smothered in about half a pint of cheap runny tomato sauce
It maybe a class thing,.. maybe not, but no way..... 😯

Why is milk bad?
How do you eat your cereal?

Usually with Almond or Soy Milk.

Try and stick away from Dairy entirely. Its linked to many growth / inflamation / cancerous ailments, they have traced pesticides and growth hormones into humans from it, its is linked to the rising child obesity and in general its just not a natural thing to consume something that is designed for offspring.

You don't drink your mums breastmilk still do you? (well some of you may!) 😉

[i]its is linked to the rising child obesity[/i]

you could probably point at a huge number of foodstuffs and say 'porky kids eat that, ergo it's linked to child obesity'.

Not just milk, as I said I generally cut out any food that has been processed in some form.

No need to repeat, everyone is free to choose the diet they want to. Its entirely up to you.

how is milk a 'processed' food?

it's heated up a bit to kill the bugs but otherwise it's presented for consumption pretty much as it left the source.

Wheat probably has more done to it before you eat a loaf of bread than milk before you drink it?

Its probably not so much the case that milk is bad for you, rather that too much milk is bad for you. As someone who can't eat/drink dairy without unpleasant consequences avoiding milk is surprisingly difficult, as it appears as an inconsequential ingredient in so many things. Skimmed milk powder is to dairy what recovered lips and arseholes is to meat - its the surplus cheap junk used to bulk things up.

So to consume too much milk is easy because everyone consumes for more of it than they realise

But if you're going to make a statement like that, you should be able to back it up.

If you are interested do the research, I have been living without Dairy products for about 9 years now and have read many articles on the subject and had a lot of (admitedly sometimes conflicting) advice. For me, and for what I have read, it makes sense. For others it may not. There is no point being drawn into a debate, its all been discussed in journals online. Google is your friend if you are interested.

To answer the OP, no. Food isn't a class issue. It can, at times, be a cost issue, but they are two different things.

Actually it's more a quality than a cost issue. Whilst foie gras and caviar might be pricey, plenty of very decent food is actually cheaper than some totally rubbish stuff.

Cider

That's a pretty generic term for somebody being very specific about types of beer. I drink real ale and wouldn't touch the beers you mention, yet also drink plenty of "real" cider.

Doesn't pretty much ALL food these days go through some kind of "process" in some form, unless you grow it yourself?

Almond or Soy Milk

And they are not "processed"? Do almonds have nipples?

The almond is a type of plum.

For some oiks, everything is a class issue and raising food is because either they're too poor to afford it or so obsessed with their perceived position on the social ladder that they just haave to tell the rest of us how middle class they are becasue they just wouldn't be seen dead a at a football match, in Lidl, drinking tap water, oh god some people just bore me so much, especially fat ones harping on about food

Convenience food is not cheap so people buy them for reasons other than price but some people would never buy that sort of thing - pot noodles or whatever. Class is an odd thing, we've got the whole range in our family.

Take the bottom off. Apparently hedgehogs have incredibly strong skin, when they get run over their innards get forced out through their fundament

It is spam

I said where did you get that - brought it from the uk ......i mean wtf !!!!
He ate alone at night we all went out .

We were getting paid to buy food why in **** would you take spam !!!! I used to take down spices and noodle and tins of tuna and buy cheap frozen fish , mince and steaks ( the steaks were some of the best id had - frozen but out of argentina !!)

Don't think there are any foods I [i]wouldn't[/i] eat - I'm happy to lower my standards where necessary (camping?) - but I'm quite unlikely to buy any frozen microwave meals, and even less likely to buy any form of tinned meat.

I love those old Pot Noodle ads! I've been craving a Pot Noodle for a while now. Might buy one for lunch tomorrow... assuming the local Waitrose sells them!

Actually I quite like the current ad to:

I can't believe people buy those 4 bird dinners from Aldi. At best it's gonna be a duck / precinct pigeon* / starling / sparrow.

4 bird roast is awesome, it has 4 birds.. I don't care what they are.
