    They do look suspiciously like those ones that come in a microwaveable fag-packet that contains a grid of silvered cardboard to cook each chip in its own separate compartment. But I think you'll find they're in a 3x8 arrangement. It does work better than those terrible McCain microwave chip boxes though.

    McCain Microchips? ERGH! They still sell those abominations against all things potato?

    That's the ones! I think they're called 'fries to go' or something.

    They were quite a nice novelty when I was a teenager, but on reflection they're bloody vile, and I'm probably going to die of cancer just because I ate them a few times....it won't have anything to do with my smoking or drinking, or all the terrible life choices I've made over the last 2 decades at all.


    It'll be all cos' of those fries ;)

    microchips out sell the other fries2go things easily... but a bigger seller are/is potato waffles and hash browns, I'd say more than micro chips. Aunt Bessie has a large range of products now also, I guess their main rival..

    lets just say ..I know ;)

    I used to buy those from Iceland when I worked in a shop as we only had a microwave to cook lunch with. They did work surprisingly well although were a bit steep at a pound for what was basically a small plate of chips.

    I worked for iceland for a year, maybe 15-16 just after bejam had been bought out. These days they get employer of the year.. back then they were awful. I ended up walking out due to them not changing my shift when I had college.

    chicken yesterday... (Balti)

    and chicken tonight.. (supposed to be chicken , chasseur but turned out like casserole)
    chicken , green pepper, onion , carrots, mushrooms

    I had one packet that says just chuck the chicken in raw. another saying brown it.. I always do the latter

    I'm no expert, but I make that 9 pieces of chicken, then 6 1/8 pieces, at least the curry isn't greasy, it's a shame the rice is only white. I like to have Red, green and yellow rice mixed in as well when I make it.

    I don't think a bought item should count, although it is what is on your Saucer ( for obvious reasons ) and most are on plates, so I suppose it must count.

    Unless of course you add to the Pizza, like making a face on it, or putting a dog poo on it, or something strange like gravy;)

    A decent pizza???

    ZX1, you've let us down! :-x
  • edited January 2015
    Slight burn marks though, zx1.

    And you just made me grab one out of the freezer. Courtesy of Lidl.
    zx1, is your pizza just huge or are the salami slices really small (or did you put them on yourself)?

    Nope pizza is 'as bought'. I didn't alter anything.
    Maybe it spent a minute or 2 in the oven too long, it wasn't too bad but not as good as Domino's.

    Yeah, those cheap ones can be alright but obviously they don't compare to a proper "real" pizza.

    The one I showed here comes from Lidl in a pack of 3 for 2.49 Euros. They also got plain Margheritas (3@1.99 Euros). Can't complain at that price, most other shops have less tasty and often somewhat soggy variants - personally I like my pizzas with a bit of crunch in the crust and these deliver.

    That meat looks raw? Is that salami?

    Haha! Not as Scottish of a salad from last time you posted one.

    I think it contained no actual veg last time (or if it did it was deep fried?) :p

    Did you put a filter on that pic, or is the food a really strange colour? :o
