None of that foreign muck 08:22 - Aug 7 with 4616 viewsLesta_Tractor

Just arrived at a Gite in France for a weeks holiday with some friends, one of them has brought a few loaves of kingsmill and a block of Tesco own brand mild cheddar.

I think I might just head back to Calais now.

Each to their own. Some people have very simple and fixed tastes but I would suggest you try to persuade them to try some local food. Probably go with mild and simple tastes rather than strong flavours with them, though.

If, by the end of the holiday you have educated their tastes somewhat that is an achievement. I hope the "none of that foreign muck" is very much a tongue-in-cheek comment.

I'm not having any of this haha. Going to France which has the best bread and cheeses and getting kingsmill s absolutely outrageous. The cheese maybe is forgivable but not the bread man. Not the bread!!!!!

I'm with the OP 100%. Final warning that. Just go and feed that bread to some ducks (who will probably be appalled (actually bread isn't good for them).

Please keep us updated

Absolutely awful behaviour, I’m furious on your behalf. Did they bring baked beans too?

I would say shocking performance but are fussy kids involved?

A good friend's child has autism and one of the things she can not handle is new foods. So she eats a good healthy but fairly plain diet. Part of that is a specific bread that has to go everywhere with them. Luckily its a wholemeal one but she won't touch anything else.

My cousin owns a pub in France and has lived there for decades.

My auntie (her mum) voted Brexit and last time I was over there on a fishing trip I had to take a boot full of Fray Bentos pies.

........and whilst on the subject

I read that Fray Bentos pies make great tins for batter puddings.

I gave it a go last week. I think my attempt was a 5/10, I reckon I put too much batter in, next time I think I will nail it.

Edit - the one on the left wasn't so good, I put this down to the fact that it was from a vegetarian pie tin.

Those puddings look excellent.....

I sense a business opportunity here....get your mate to collect all the empty Fray Bentos tins from France and we could sell them on as retro-chic batter pudding tins

They were a bit soggy.

Oh by the way, do you remember what month and year we bumped into each other in Amsterdam?

I'm trying to find a specific photo from there but it would be easier if I knew the year - I think it was a May.

I read that as cause and effect:

Your auntie caused Brexit and then all the Fray Bentos pies got deported!

My mate bought pot noodles on a lads holiday to Magaluf, which probably isn’t the worst idea given the destination.

However in my drunken wisdom I decided to cook the pot noodle on the hob. Literally the plastic pot straight on the hob. The room stunk of melted plastic, chicken & mushroom for the whole fortnight.

Many many years ago, I went round the factory at Hackney Wick which made Fray Bentos pies and puddings under licence. I was presented with a goody box of their products and, given the things I saw in that factory, I've never ever eaten any of their stuff ever since. The French are welcome to it.

I prefer the granny skin (as I call it),the stuff at the bottom of the tin caked in thick gravy,that for me is the best part of the pie.
