Sorry hun!...so you wouldn't eat the stuff ^^^^ above??????

....I forgot to mention the 'value' sausages-40% meat...lol

[Ice.Maiden]

Oh dear. I'll have to say indifferent.
They might've banned artificial colourings, but for those sort of prices, they're probs full of potentially hazardous preservatives, excess salt and/or sugar. The only thing I can say in Iceland's favour, is that they tend to stock quite a good variety of things, so if someione's on a tight budget, maybe it's a blessing for them.

[pastafreak]

I'm NOT the one who is eating this stuff,bez........thank goodness.....

[trt]

Great bargain for those on a diet : - )

[pastafreak]

And what diet is that,trt??

[rabbitygirl]

Some people on low incomes rely on that sort of food as it's the only way they know of feeding a family on a budget. Lack of school cooking lessons, and not having cooking skills passed down to them, means many don't know what to do with cheap cuts of real meat which make a good meal.

It's not all bad in Iceland, or probably Farm Foods. But it takes a bit of know how and skill to decide what to buy and what to steer clear of. As it does in all the food shops.

[trt]

Pasta, you missed the point of my sarcastic comment, zzzzzz.

[Ice.Maiden]

There's quite a bit of info on the labels though rabbity. If I had to feed a family on very little money, I'd use fresh veg and meat cuts to makes stews, do jacket potatoes with baked beans or a vegetable stir fry, make my own pies, own chips if necessary - anything rather than eat the rubbish you get in cheapo tinned and frozen foodstuff.

[pastafreak]

I did suspect that,trt.........but you never know on here

[Ice.Maiden]

Splutter! Crept back, did you!!! Little devil!!
