Prawn cocktail/Marie Rose starter for any of those.

The lasagne must be served in - and stuck to - a conveniently microwaveable dish. (Oh yeah, add 'curry with raisins in it in a ring of Uncle Ben's rice' to that list.)

At least if these are served in a pub, you can buy a decent pint of wallop to wash the lot down.

I had scampi and chips just yesterday. It was lush.

Christ I'm hungry now.

Any of Rogin's menu would do, except the mushy peas.

I don't like this thread.

I don't think there's any such thing as 'prole-ish' food. There's, you know, food, and not-food.

You never get a decent Cumberland in a pub, mind.

Wrong.

So where do you stand on 'posh food'? I mean, there's cheap food and expensive food. And a shed load in between.

'Roast beef and gravy served in a Yorkshire pud' - there's another. Probably with 'chef's choice of [strike]defrosted[/strike] fresh vegetables'.

It goes off on the way down the M6, you know.

Chicken and sweetcorn Findus crispy pancakes served with microwaved Super Noodles.

I'm not sorry.

Doesn't the ½lb steak come with a flat mushroom too?

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

That'd be extra, same as the peppercorn sauce.

Gammon steak, chips and pineapple

On a recent visit back to the senior blamelesses, my dad did this for dinner - proper cheap gammon steak out of an Asda vacuum pack and everything. It was amazing.

Mushy peas are vile. You don't need peas to rise, so why would you add baking soda to them?

When Fatbastard and I first worked together, we'd be hit with a wave of not-regulars on the day the government cheques came out.

The standard order was an 8 oz steak, cooked well, with fries and gravy. We'd usually have to tell them you couldn't drink the beer you'd brought in with you, but had to buy ours.

Is there another way to cook lasagna that I'm not aware of?

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Inca, I always think that too, but it's expressed on menus in the the UK as a big thing. Like "Home-made", when demonstrably it's not "home-made".

Huh, weird.

You can toast it:

I had beans on toast for breakfast, and the bread was yellow stickered down to 29p. With 2 cups of Yorkshire Tea.

Beans on toast was my staple diet when I was a teenager and I still have it at least once a week.

[treibeis]

I've never understood beans on toast. Why make a perfectly adequate piece of toast (not that I'm a great fan of toast anyway, but that's irrelevant) soggy by covering it in beans? Why not beans and toast?

[MsD]

With beans, you don't need butter on your toast. As it happens, I had butter today but usually don't bother when there are beans.

It's an open-faced, baked bean sandwich.
