Just picked these up. I love cola bottles and Jaffa Cakes, but these are meh.

The market is crowded with these sorts of products that combine two great products that end up being less than the sum of their parts.

What others combos have let you down?

I was really craving it today only to realise that they’ve discontinued it. What a shame.

My friends and I are having a debate about this. Currently the main contenders are sandwiches, soup and curry and we were all 100% sure ours was the normal one

None of this 'air fryer' bollocks either

Older boys and girls, do you remember those sticky, cheese wafer sandwich style biscuits that you'd get in a big biscuit tin at chistmas. They looked like, but were a bit bigger than a flattened custard cream in sticky wafer form. I think that I was the only one that liked them, but google isn't helping. In my experience late 70s to md 80s

I am looking at doing a gammon and a chicken for an early Christmas dinner with friends. Chicken is not much more expensive from the butcher compared to a supermarket, but gammon is twice the price.

Do you think there would be a big difference in quality? Less water?

Would be interested to hear others' experiences

I'm putting together a bunch of as nice as possible basic foods as a gift.

Although I was tempted to just pay £100 for some incredibly fancy olive oil I went for a reasonable priced one of that (https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/barbera-sicilia-extra-virgin-olive-oil/748749-690396-690397) so I could buy more items.

I definitely need fancy peppercorns because he's mentioned that before but have no idea what to look for.

Also, if you have any recommendations on what really nice upgrades to basic ingredients you've had I'll add them to the list.

I live in London so I shouldn't have too much trouble sourcing them unless it's incredible eggs from a local farm in which case I'll probably have to miss them for this hamper but I'm sure I'll find other chances to buy fancy food :).

Hi all! I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I figured it's a start. My daughter and I have small hands, like size 6 in gloves. I use mitten-shaped silicone oven gloves, but she's preparing to move out to Uni, and needs something of her own (not sealing mine!). She'd like fingered oven gloves, that actually fit. I have googled, and searched, but every fingered heat-proof glove I can find proudly proclaims 'one-size fits all', except it'll leave her with a couple of inches of empty fingers, when she wears them!

Anyone got any recommendations? Thank you in advance :)

I went shopping too late on a Sunday and all that was left are the cheaper bags of 'British White Potatoes'. What sort of potatoes are likely to be in there? Are they likely to be floury or waxy?

Made in a frying pan that had a removable handle!

Cream crackers in the fridge. Whatever next?

No frills pork sausages, mixed mash (swede and spuds), broccoli and onion gravy. A laxy Sunday dinner.

I hear a lot of people lamenting the decline in Cadbury’s quality over the last decade. Does anyone have any chocolate brands that are 1) tasty 2) ethically sourced 3) common enough to be found in London without having to order online or anything? Specifically looking for an alternative to Dairy Milk. Thanks!

Can anyone send me some good soup recipes for my Girlfriend as I can’t imagine I’ll be eating solids in next few days. I prefer the thicker hearty types over watery soups. Thanks

Ate a full big bag of these this week. In about 6 minutes. Probably my favourite cheesy puffs now. Any others in the top spots?

I keep seeing low cal pizzas etc on tiktok from the USA using lavash flat bread. Is there anything similar in the UK? I've seen 'kebab' wraps in lidl but they are higher in calorie than normal flat bread not better.

I couldn’t find anything online and wasn’t sure where else to ask!

This is my favourite sloe gin, I normally only have it around Christmas. There was a deal on this size bottle at my local supermarket today, whereas I normally get the smaller bottle. This one tastes and smells a lot more of alcohol than I previously remember, and it also seems a lot thinner. It used to taste and smell more of the ‘sloe’ than the ‘gin’, and I used to enjoy sipping a small glass, but this time I could only take a few sips before it was overwhelmingly strong.

Maybe my taste buds have just changed, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had noticed anything, or if anyone has recommendations for other sloe gins!
