[Closed] What food product would you not buy based on "class?"

Fray Bentos.

I buy food on taste and quality not class.

Tripe

any kind of tinned meat, even from Marks & Spencer.

Anything from Iceland, Farmfoods or Asda.

What is wrong with faggots ?

caviar

years ago Kwik save mince and burgers used to be cheaper per kg than dog food

Any of those frozen <insert meat> dinners that masquerade as some kind of Sunday lunch. Pah.

Vesta curries too.

What is wrong with faggots ?

Homosexuals tend to find them offensive...

caviar, pate, don perignon.

all for scrotes.

Spam

Anything in a tin.

Except bakes beans.
And sweetcorn.
Oh, and soup.
Then there's condensed milk too.
Coconut milk.
Almost forgot chopped tomatoes.

Ah dammit.

It seems my 'system' is stupid and illogical.

I knew someone who wouldn't buy orange or yellow peppers as they were "too middle class"

He was a little odd .

London Grill

surely, "anything apart from fruit" would be the correct answer?

Anything from Iceland.

Microwave ready meals. I haven't eaten one for years and never will again.

+1 for what's wrong with Faggots?? Delicious.

I used to buy frozen mince at uni because it was a) cheap & b) convenient. Not sure it was any worse than unfrozen mince to be honest.

Oh, and I love a bit of tinned chicken in white sauce if I am in a hurry. Not too keen on the way it fwooomps out of the tin, but once warmed up, it's lovely.
Oh, and Stagg Chilli....mmmmmmmm.

Hmmmm, I must be well erm, 'skeggy'.

Is it permissible to buy mince and then freeze it?

Chicken Tikka Lasagne as advertised by Kerry Katona in an Iceland advert a little while back.

EDIT - but that's because it sounds disgusting.

cucmber sandwiches with the crusts cut off, spread with lard instead of butter

Is it permissible to buy mince and then freeze it?

If it's to make meals for the servants, then yes, by all means.

still bottled water.

foie gras at one end, Iceland party food at the other

If the mince is extra lean steak mince, yes. Otherwise no.

I won't buy Cristal champagne because I don't want to look like a rapper. Bollinger's a bit poncy too. Nothing wrong with Morrison's own label champagne though.

I find microwave meals incomprehensible. Its sending out a message that you possess not an ounce of self-respect.

Wierdly, the only person I know who regularly eats them is absolutely minted. Go figure....

I find them a bit salty.

"Breakfast" pizzas. I mean - come on. Bacon, eggs, mushrooms and beans on a pizza. Jeez.

😆 @ precinct pigeon.

I eat lambs liver, that's cheap. 🙂

Edit: I NEVER buy MacDonalds.

[i]Anything in a tin[/i]

Not even chicken? bloody snobs

[img] [/img]

Tried a Fray Bentos pie the other day (not had one in best part of 30 years) - was really rank - very low quality meat.

These always strike me as something really dodgy

[img] [/img]

Faggots and peas, food of the Gods.

Ready meals are a no no.

Tinned stuff is good for camping.

any kind of tinned meat, even from Marks & Spencer.

I feel sorry for you missing out on all that confit and cassoulet, although if you're a proper snob you can get it in jars.

[img] ?identifier=d7a9e1dfc11849db0f8ae23e1daaf243[/img]

Anything whose preparation instructions start with "remove from cardboard wrap and pierce film in several places"
Anything frozen
Anything labelled with a "fictional farm name" to try and make it sound "homely and good"
Anything that comes "crumb coated"
Plus anything from a growing list of food processing/supply companies that I refuse to patronise (on the basis of their manufacturing & supply procedures)

other than that, it's all good.........

Authentic Pizza all the way from Bielefeld. Produced, packaged, shipped and sold for about a quid.

If the mince is extra lean steak mince, yes. Otherwise no.

But surely you dont make chilli or Bolognese with extra lean mince?

Southern fried chicken bits from the hot food counter.
Oh, and those cheese squares for burgers..add to that frozen burgers..

I buy food on taste and quality not class.

This. I've also had an Aldi 4 bird roast, it was OK, not great but OK. Don't know if you don't try...

Much of the rich and expensive food I enjoy is derived from the peasant food of Spain, Italy, Morocco, etc, so when I'm in Tuscany or Andalusia, I like to eat parmo and fry bentos pies.

Mechanically retrieved chicken arses shaped as something and breaded.

I'm sure Usain Bolt credits chicken nuggets as the food that powered him to his two world records.

That chicken in a tin though, how is that possible. I might try and do it at home 😀

Harry - I must admit I had one of those Dr. Oatcakes pizzas. More salt than the Dead Sea and about 25 microns deep.

At the lower end, I won't buy anything, frozen except peas and ice cream.

I also wont buy Moet NV because it's shit. Caviar for the same reason. Veal, because it tastes of bugger all, and ostrich or kangaroo.

They are not anywhere near as tasty as a good bit beef, venison or lamb etc. Just another way for the middle class to get the piss taken out of them.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/4693520.stm lol!

Tinned chicken...

yum

Tinned meat is a bit wrong unless its confit duck legs. They are rather tasty! I have a soft spot for Grants' tinned Haggis aswell. It's really good.

Anything whose preparation instructions start with "remove from cardboard wrap and pierce film in several places"

I agree with you, but presumably that's not based on class, it's a taste/healthiness/ethics issue?

I wouldn't buy anything from Asda because i'm a snob (and because their adverts make me want to punch people). They might sell lovely food, but i'll never find out.

But surely you dont make chilli or Bolognese with extra lean mince?

We do.

Iceland sums it up for me!

We do.

Whatever floats your boat! 🙂

Not to do with class, but "anything from Israel".

Any thing with value written on it, pre made pies, white bred, caned food, cheap food, any thing from Iceland or cheap Germany super markets , they are full of smelly poor people.

I find the average BMI of the shoppers to be a good indication of the class of their target demographic...

Dan1980 I thought at first that chicken had it's head still on, but it's the wing.

and ostrich or kangaroo.

You are missing out on a whole world of extremely tasty and healthy food right there

i can not belive people buy bottled water, when it 1st came out i thought no people wont buy that, have they no taps at home, how wrong i was
total rip of
NO I DONT BUY IT

I don't like going into Asda or Lidl because you get bumped into a lot by ignorant people using the trollies as weapons.

But the veg tends to be good and cheap. I don't think I'm strong enough to lift £5 worth of Lidl fruit & veg. And Lidl Cachaca (when they have it) is not too bad.

I won't buy pre-mashed spud, pre-sliced veg. At about 10 times the price, what's that all about? Are all these benefit scroungers too busy moonlighting to cook properly?

But I do Luuuurve a Fray Bentos.

You are missing out on a whole world of extremely tasty and healthy food right there

I have tried it. It just didn't do anything for me. And for the price of it, I expect it to be alot better than it is. I think there's a reason why it isn't on any really good restaurants menus. It's poor!

Now wild boar, buffalo, pheasant and wood pigeon. That is worth buying!

in Oz, kangaroo = dog food

Orange 5

I don't understand the question.

Anything deep fried in cooking oil.

There are plenty of foods I wouldn't buy but its not a class issue its more to do with not wanting to eat rubbish, which isn't always the cheapest anyway is it?

I love lambs liver too I make us a fab liver and bacon casserole to have with mash the whole thing costs about £3 and is yummy!

I don't like going into Asda or Lidl because you get bumped into a lot by ignorant people using the trollies as weapons.

Well it probably depends on where the stores are. I like Lidl and never had a problem in the Leatherhead or Farnham (Surrey) stores.

I won't buy battery chicken or eggs, bottled water, dairy lee, shaped food or anything low cost/high fat.

in Oz, kangaroo = dog food

It wasn't when I was there a few weeks back.

Greggs sausage rolls for the kids. 😯

I sometimes shop in Asda, avoiding peak times obviously. 😉 No worse than Tesco really. Fresh veg has a very short shelf life though.

Quite happy to eat cheaper food if it means I can keep my rather nice bikes. 🙂

in Oz, kangaroo = dog food

In UK, lamb, chicken etc... = cat food

I'll happily eat all manner of cheap cuts of meat and do love a good corn beef hash.

Had to draw the line at pigs kidneys yesterday... jeez they stank of piss.

Anything with diet/reduced fat on it 🙂

What's "don perignon" you prole?

I give you the andouillette.

[img] [/img]

Apparently - they taste of pig shite. Lovely.

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.

Oh and milk, probably the best thing to cut out of anyones diet.

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

Any preprepared food. If the staff can't prepare it themselves, you shouldn't be eating it. 🙄
