In British supermarkets, they often don’t even put the beans on shelves. Instead they have stacked palettes of them, because they need to restock so often it’d be inefficient to have to unpack and shelve them.
Marmite, Lea and Perrin’s, Curry.
Yup, this is actually the UK section and not just the beans section
I was shocked to find out that Lea and Perrins wasn’t from Louisiana. They use that stuff in everything in Cajun land
is it joint usa/uk food section?
All of that is uk other than the macaroni. Even the Indian curries are uk. That’s like our speciality, not fish n chips
FYIW, that brand of “simmer sauce” is a staple in my US kitchen.
Looking at both flags alternating repeatedly on every shelf I would assume yes.
So the English language food section
Oi cunt where’s my section then? -Australia
Apart from having the flags the wrong way around, what’s wrong?
/s
I bet only British tourists are shopping in this section. French people craving for beans are just eating cassoulet.
Beautiful. This should be the national flag.
Looks about right.
Yeah, what the fuck why is Mississippi Belle macaroni and cheese in the UK section?
I’m British and I only eat beans and curry, so I can’t see any problem here.
The vindaloo and butter chicken sauces are fuckin class
I have never seen mac and cheese in a can before and I am honestly mildly disgusted.
I dont understand… mac and cheese is litterally the easiest thing to cook. Who is this even marketed to?
You ought to be. It’s a struggle meal, not because of the price but because you struggle to keep it down. The noodles feel simultaneously overcooked, limp and somehow grainy. The sauce is virtually flavorless except for a musky odor of nuclear cheese. The consistency of the sauce is like that of milk, and it does not adhere to the noodles. Your bowl will be a nice mix of cold, pallid noodle soup and boiling hot noodle soup.
Avoid at all costs. Bought one can for the novelty of feeling the same way. It is so much worse than you’re imagining.
I can imagine fake chese custard and slight amounts of overcooked rubbery pasta.
Have you ever smelled some foam and had that give you a headache? Do you know that chemically smell?
If so, it tastes whole mouth like that but very concentrated.
There are also chunks but at the same time there is not discernable difference in texture or consistency. Just vague border regions that register montarily as the broad side of your tongue cuts through them like a razor.
This review will be with me forever ♥️
LMAO
Chef Boyardee sells mac and cheese in a can in the US!
Canned anything with cheese tastes revolting from my experience.
I mean Philly cheese steaks are made with canned cheese wiz, and then there’s salsa queso dip they sell in cans, and everyone loves that shit.
Where are you getting Philly cheese steaks with canned cheese???
However chef boyardee and spaghetti-os have been a thing. My mom only got them once for us (in the 80s) and I wasn’t impressed. Liked kraft macaroni and cheese though.
In Philadelphia. The big, famous cheese steak places use it, like Pat’s and Geno’s.
Philly steaks are traditionally made with cheez whizz in Philadelphia.
Ah, I was thinking of canned mac n cheese which I tried once and the several times I tried different canned soups containing cheese. It didn’t taste like cheese and it wasn’t tolerable for me. That said I have enjoyed canned queso dip.
You can make that queso dip way better yourself in like 5 minutes, it’s just a block of queso fresco (or white american), chop it up for faster melting, sodium citrate, milk, peppers, and seasoning. The sodium citrate is vital to keep it from getting grainy.
I live in the USA and can confirm never seeing this before.
Though I’d try it tbh
It’s… Not good
You can get it at WinCo if you’re in the west.
They started making canned spaghetti carbonara now too
It’s like they’re trying to commit war crimes.
I imagine they’re quite hard to do by accident
Remember: it’s not a war crime the first time.
Nah, just preparing for war times
Considering the origin of carbonara, it’s not that weird.
Yeah but it’s by Heinz
Royaume-Uni/USA
Angleterre/États-Unis
With the signs in two languages and the one trying to be in english (lulz) being smaller, where in Quebec is that?
Le moo
Seen at DragonCon this year:
Another clue it isn’t Quebec is that Quebec wouldn’t bother having a separate US section when the States are just a couple hours drive away.
This is a Carrefour, right? I’ve quit shopping at Carrefour a while back. I find their selection getting steadily worse, their house brands quality very low, their price not competitive. Nowadays I shop at medium size chains, and most of non food online, trying to use Amazon as a last resort.
Yeah, Grand Frais is my usual now
I’m in Spain. I usually shop at Lidl, Aldi, or Mercadona, a large chain of medium size stores, generally well regarded, with a very good selection, and high quality house brands. Mercadona puts customer satisfaction first, and employee satisfaction second. This seems to be true as employee satisfaction is high, rotation low, and satisfaction levels of around 70%, which in this type of sector is very high. They also pay up to 150% of the median income for these types of jobs.
In the end, a Heinz a conquered GB. Eat that Brits!
I regularly buy from the UK section of my supermarket. Brown sauce and lemon curd are necessities.
HP, Branston, marmalade, and additionally, Cream Crackers due to childhood trauma
What is Hewlett Packard doing in your grocers?
You forgot to buy your marmite
Not even Branston beans. What a disgrace.
