Council House Fayre

Scouring the refrigerated shelves in Home Bargains I saw something that piqued my interest, not quite believing my eyes I picked it up for a closer inspection, a woman with a tattooed neck and a diamante earring stuck in her top lip told me it was 'fucking lush that is, grated on top ov chips'. How does someone of my refinement answer to that? I just smiled graciously and placed the product into my basket, when she was out of my eye shot I put it back on the shelf.

    Class with a capital "K". Every bit as good as Iceland "Ready Scrambled Egg". Or the Doner Kebab Pot Noodle. Jx

      I once went to a council house dinner party where I was served little Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings dipped in Galaxy chocolate and filled with Bird's Dream Topping, they were delicious.

    Is this a ready-to-eat snack or is Carmen going to have to slave over a hot stove to prepare it?

    It's an abomination.

    If it has no peppermint in it, it is not British cuisine.
    I learned this from the book "Asterix in Britain", a very helpful travel guide !

      Mint sauce is nearly always served with roast lamb, a traditional Sunday dinner favourite, it's rapidly falling out of favour but still very popular with the blue rinse brigade. Some people mint their peas!

    People are always trying to talk to me in the grocery store. I have no idea why. I try to cultivate an air of "I don't speak English" but it doesn't seem to work.

      I seem to attract the nutters nearly everywhere I go, they must see a kinship in me.

    I was in Home Bargains yesterday! The other patrons were indeed very chatty, but I avoided the food aisles and came away with a year's supply of loo roll for £8.50
    I also bought a toothbrush.
    Sx

    My reader suffered a cyber collapse.or prolapse. Or maybe the reader elves had been eating that stuff?
    I may be brave enough, later, to continue reading...
