I'm fond of the occasional Frey Bentos steak and kidney pie in a can but they're getting pricey in Australia.

oh god, they are so bad... Kinda fancy one now.

Elbow macaronis with little blocks of molten cheese and little blocks of spam meat. Add in a little kit of ketchup and mayo on the side.

Makes my wife convulse even thinking about it, but I love it. My grand mother would make this for me every now and then as a treat and it never stopped being a treat.

I'm tired of people pretending SPAM isn't delicious.

I love how....banal the packaging is. Not very exciting, but very to the point.

Your hot dogs come in cans? 😨

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm equally as astounded as the fact yours come in plastic packagings

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

When you say it out loud, that does sound weird... 🤔 At least a can makes getting rid of the disgusting hot dog water easier.

Just drink it. The sodium is good for your bonez

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I'm surprised it's possible to have a favourite.

I've never been able to tell the difference between hotdogs,, I had no idea there is any until you get upto proper Frankfurter levels

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Heck yes, 8 tiny hot dogs in a can! I used to have these when I was young as well.

My guilty pleasure are those cheap pizzas. The REALLY cheap pizzas that still to this day only seem to cost around 60p

This style 👍

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

The serving suggestion is all eight of them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Whohhh 8 hotdogs per can? That's like exactly a pack of buns, there aren't two left over buns that get no dog.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

We had these last week with a pack of 6 buns, can normally fit 2 extras on to one of the other buns.

Love that food photography style. Two tiny twigs of parsley draped on those huge vulgar sausages. Everything green is somehow greyish.

Angel delight. It's a genius product and so simple

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

never really liked angel delight, but could eat jelly for days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sainsburys do a much cheaper, sugar-free version - I keep a few of the butterscotch variety in case of emergencies.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I like the idea of an angel delight emergency

It was one of my favourite things as a kid and I called it Blum Blum, still do.

I also still call blackcurrant squash "juicy" and, when I gave up drinking, most bar staff in my local soon knew what the order of a juicy meant.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I just had a can of these! 85p, 4x cheaper than their fancier glass-vareity brethren. Stick em in a microwave for a minute, and that's a lunch right there.

Growing up, Wagon Wheels used to be my secret pleasure, but I've gone off them the last few years - just not that chocolatey or creamy.

I currently love going to a chicken shop. For a while I lived in a country without one, but those dark days are gone now.

This looks like a parody product. Like something advertised on Ren and Stimpy

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fun fact, in The Flash movie (guessing nobodys seen it considering it was a flop of the year) Barry opens his mostly empty fridge.. and there's a tin of these in there. Most people probably think it was a prop product but I literally ate them last week..

I have a weird thing about ratios with meat/bread and these are the only hotdogs that don't overwhelm me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

That is a fun fact, thank you for sharing.

I have been thinking about 8 HOT DOGS in Brine all day today. A shame the only place I can find it is amazon for $52

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Hey, don't bash it till you've tried it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ive had the canned/jarred hot dogs.

theyre fucking gross.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

But have you specifically had 8 HOT DOGS 👑 𝐼𝓃 𝐵𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑒 👑

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I really can't get this damn can of hot dogs out of my head.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's my avatar now, so watch out!

I've only sent a handful of emails to IT over the years while working here:

  1. Hello, AutoCAD says I don't have a license

  2. Hello, I forgot my phone - can you get me into my laptop?

  3. (Literally the next day) Hello, I forgot my phone again...

  4. Hello, my laptop battery is dead, can I have a new one?

  5. Hello, can you please set my Teams profile picture to the attached photo of 8 HOT DOGS in Brine?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Had a good laugh at this one! May the briny goodness of 8 HOT DOGS in Brine be known throughout the globe

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Over about 40 years, yes I believe I have. They were out of jars though, which are also gross as hell.

The Lidl bockwursts in a jar par examplé

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

I definitely would if I could stop laughing at "8 HOT DOGS in Brine"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

It’s be iffy if you’d be alive to bash it after though.
