McVities choccie bics are the only way to go, anything else is just a cheap imitation.

Beans: Heinz, nothing else will do

Ketchup: Heinz

Brown sauce: HP

Butter: Anchor

Cornflakes: Kelloggs

Tin tomatoes: Napolini

don't get me wrong, i have dined in 'fancy' restaurants and paid £400 / £500 for a meal for 2.

can honestly say each experience has not left me wanting more.

i am a home boy at heart & just prefer well cooked 'mum' style or brasserie type food over all the pomp and ceremony of 'fine dining'

that doesn't mean i'm a meat and 2 veg type. i like cuisine from all parts of the world and will try most things.

but as for the biccies, yeah i scoff um not savour them. they're summat to enjoy with a brew not something worthy of foodie critcism

so the ones you don't want, send um on to me please

so iso, how is 'the toffee tastes a little burnt' a foodie criticism? There was a post asking if anyone had tried them, i have eaten a packet of them today and gave an opinion. In a thread about value brands, ie cheap and cheerfull, why introduce michelin stars and how much you pay for your meals out?

don't take things to heart our take them out of context. no offence intended in my rambles.

but am sorry a biccie is still a biccie. it gets dunked in a brew and it taste & composition gets lost from then on in
