content: I am amazed at the number of people who don't seem to cook at all. You can eat SO much better for the same dollars if you cook it yourself.That said, making fun of canned food is a bit old. People who don't cook are SO clueless (about, say, the thin line between "pink slime" and "gourmet paté") (and don't get me started on the general level of chemistry knowledge!)

content: It's not the worst thing you could eat, some sandwiches are worse, at least the beans will have some fibre in to slow the release of sugars into your system, keeping you fuller for longer.And those nutritional information labels really mean bugger all because they don't tell you anything about the vitamin/mineral content and the quality of the protein, fat and carbohydrates. Obviously the salt in that meal is the bad thing but it's possible to have a meal with the same amount of fat and sugar etc. by eating more nutritious foods such as unprocessed meat, fruits and nuts.What should be obvious though is for £1 you're going to get crap quality processed fat, protein and carbohydrates with no vitamins and minerals.

content: A can of spam, comes with the tin opener, and you can use the opener as a knife and as a fork to eat with.You can even try to guess what the part was while eating it.

content: actually you can get worse. try some supermarket value stuff. As I could get 5% off in asda with my utility-warehouse card I thought I'd give them a go without falling into the trap of spending more on other stuff than I would in lidl, so I went through their range of gastly stit in tins of stuff that frankly should not have been called any decent thing and there were I think grounds for mis-selling

content: I'd say a meal replacement shake is the easiest meal in the world: you don't even have to bother chewing it and a more nutritious one than that can of crap can be found for the same price.

content: I don't know why Ashens insists on buying food from Poundland. There are some things those stores are good at, but food ain't one of them.LIDL usually has decent almost-ready stuff (even cheap pizza tastes somewhat like pizza!), but keep away from cheap pasta sauce they sell in that store.

content: Well of the 5.5 CrappyD's that opened here only 2.5 are left. The others closed due to poor sales. One was eaten by KFC, Nandos and Steers, while the other was killed by similar reasons, along with location.The survivors are the only outlets in the areas they operate, so have a captive bulk market.

content: Quote from: Simon on July 01, 2012, 04:19:10 pmYeah, but there are times when one just wants to have something good to eat in a few minutes without bothering to cut and fry and get more dishes and cutlery dirty than strictly needed. And without having to turn to the Last Resource of the Desperate - that is, Ramen.Quote from: DaveXRQ on July 01, 2012, 07:54:46 pmUh... what?QuoteWhat does your music choice have to do with preparing food?
