Birds Eye peas.......

My mother-in-law reckons her first husband was the designer who created the Birds Eye symbol! She's never told me anything untrue to my knowledge so in the absence of anything to the contrary, I believe her!

I tried that and to me it tastes like the sweepings off the floor compared to PG Tips.

Perhaps it depends on your water or something. The GL tea is nice with Edinburgh's very soft water. And it's cheaper than PG Tips.

Certain things that have a 'recipe' then fine....but a 'basic product' - i.e. in it's raw form, then no difference.

The only problems we have with 'fresh peas' (i.e. in pod) is that most never make it to the pot - the kid's will shell them and they are eaten raw...yum.........

What's to say the old bid was fed a load of ballcocks then ? - Not her integrity at question......

PS Birds Eye fish fingers are the best though !!!!!, but Peas........

Not true. Jumbo organic porridge oats taste much better than regular. Cheap branded tinned tomatoes contain horrible amounts of citric acid because the tomatoes were grown for size, not flavour. The difference between frozen petit pois (picked and frozen young and sweet) and ordinary frozen peas (left to hang around and go starchy) is astounding.

Most of what we buy is unbranded because it's fresh. OJ and tinned tomatoes are Waitrose organic own brand, baked beans are Whole Earth (Heinz are filthy - they put far too much sugar in). The only big brand I seek out is Bovril.

I only ever buy Hellmans mayo, Heinz beans, Heinz ketchup, Kellogs cornflakes, Lurpak butter, Birds Eye peas, they've been around forever for a reason.

I'd buy two of those. Hellman's is reasonably adequate mayo, but other recipes are better. Heinz products are all too sweet, Cornflakes are the work of the devil, Lurpak is OK as butter goes but there are better (Rachel's Organic for choice), while Bird's Eye is all marketing and no quality.

Lidl/Aldi porridge oats are exactly the same as Scotts Porridge oats.

I like the Mozzer own brand oats best - 1Kg sack for about thrupeence!

I buy very little unbranded stuff and now that I realise that, I am overwhelmed by my extravagance! Will try to do better!

Waitrose. You can't go wrong.

There's a whole exciting new world of fresh tastes awaiting you, cast out your old ways and enjoy. (and save a load of money too)

I rarely buy branded stuff....

+1 Tesco Value golden Syrup is just lovely in porridge

i eat all sorts of non brand crap ..... but never ever will buy any other ketchup except for Heniz.

 

[jig-sore]

I'm not impressed with any of the asda stuff. their pot noodles are absolutely awful.

aldi coffee is OK and tesco fruit and fibre

 

[accountantpete]

I use Home Bargains type shops - the branded stuff is cheaper than the own brand stuff in the Supermarkets.
