Most depressing product in a supermarket?

Don't think it is sold anymore but my heart used to sink if I needed a crap when I was at my Grandma & Grandads. I mean really really sink!!

Don't touch the eggs then

That's not ingredients, that's chemical analysis. Ingredients are chicken feed** and water. In two minds if the chicken counts as an ingredient, or the manufacturing facility.

And even if were ingredients, there's egg in the swiss roll, so you can add this whole list to the end of the swiss roll ingredients, if you like.

**chicken feed is another nightmare of mystery ingredients. Lets not go there now.

Margarine

Yesterday that bald greengrocer/ masterchef judge made some marge in about 10 seconds, using oil, coconut stuff, some eggs and cream or dairy stuff. I am recording the repeat for the recipie and might try it

No longer manufactured, sorry.

Both life-savers for my aged mother whose dementia-struck husband will not eat proper food, and she doesn't always have the energy to cook. Though for wine she buys the mini bottles not the glasses, which I do admit are a bit disheartening. I remember my jaw dropping when I first saw them.

There is obviously a valid need for many things in this thread. But this little sad story proves that at least these two products are depressing.

It's still happy, though, that it enables them to live together and independently, which is a bright side.

I didn't think so, but if you have any left in your cupboard Classic they are going for £4.99 a roll on eBay!

On another note, what other thing on this earth do you clean with dry paper other than your ar5e??

Can't help thinking of Oats-so-Simple now.

That is really a gateway drug to the hard stuff.

I am now on Mornflake superfast oats, but I haven't tried making the real thing, simmer for 1/2 hour type deal.

Probably me pushing a frigging trolly behind the wife...and her telling me to get things, only to watch her put it back on the shelf and pick said item herself...but the one she picks will be better..ffs..

Fair point.

My wife is an OT and sees the world very differently from the perspective of those that need things differently.
Thing she gets me to do is practise using other hand for a whole day (yeah, yeah!) and see how you get on. It's a good exercise and worth getting used to it in case you need to.

Microwave popcorn!

Normal, cheap popcorn will pop in any microwave container - make sure you have one with a lid! - and costs half as much. And you can choose your own flavours. Cayenne pepper/chill powder and salt is a good one.

Don't use oil unless it's a glass container, it makes a mess out of plastics.
