What's for Dinner?

Our local baker also ran out of stock and closed ridiculously early. If you're lucky you might get a stale sausage roll at lunchtime as they're shuttering up.

A brown paper bag, containing:

Two floppy, unappetising sandwiches of uncertain type, made with the roughest white bread and bulk buy margarine. Often one egg mayo which smelled of armpits and one "Mystery Fish", the origin of which is still unknown to this day but which only the hungriest would dare eat.

A can of off brand cola, warm.

A kit kat (usually the best bit) or Blue Ribband.

A packet of taste free crisps of a brand unavailable anywhere else.

Sometimes an apple, which if you were really lucky, wouldn't look like it had been used for an impromptu kick about.

They weren't very popular. Hence the nickname. Opening of the bags was usually immediately followed by lots of bartering for swaps.

🤣🤣

I would, without question, eat a Cubby cheese and pickle before a mystery fish. Not even a contest.

How bloody dare you, the bread I buy is £1.85 and with seeds and other weird crunchy bits.

Oh shit.

I should have cooked it… ☹️

Waiting for the other half to come home so at the moment dinner is eating Nutella out of the jar with a spoon.

Use by no, best by potentially.

It's only egg and wheat isn't it? What can be so bad? 🤔

Eggs go pretty nasty. Salmonella ahoy. You can usually smell if they're off.

Lamb was amazing. With baked potatoes and fresh beans from the garden. Yum.

It's going to be boiled for a few mins, so any bugs will be killed. If it smelt ok, i'd risk it.

N. B. Please post early tomorrow, so we know you're still alive! 😀

We are forgetting that user Freddymercurystwin ate five-day-old chicken and survived.

You survived twice then!

Fishfinger sandwiches.
