I can hear a Frenchman somewhere hon-hon-honing about the fact that our food culture is so pitiful, we have convinced ourselves we actually like eating an overrefridgerated supermarket sandwich out of a cardboard box and calling it lunch.
Have you ever had a french supermarket sandwich, hen? They’re fucking awful. He’s not right
Consider two people: one getting ready salted crisps, a BLT and a San Pellegrino, the other a spicy chicken pasta pot, the hard-boiled egg two-pack and a banana Yazoo. Which one would you rather have as your babysitter?
Dunno, I’m not a judgemental wank like you, I’d take it on merit
This is fucking GASH journalism and the advert for her “book” at the end says it all
They had another article a couple of weeks ago about abolishing landlords instead of building more houses. It was total rubbish, completely misunderstood housing supply, but had a good title. That was also a vaguely concealed advert for a book.
The Guardian used to be a good paper.
Who could forget this classic from the guardian about a mother who did not appreciate her son’s tattoo.
I think my eyes just rolled out of my head.
Continental supermarkets on average tend to be worse than ours in terms of value and choice. I think middle class people go on holiday to resort style destinations and visit the French equivalent of a Waitrose and then believe that every supermarket is better there.

With you on this, what the hell am I even supposed to be inferring from these meal deal choices

Also confused, I thought maybe a San Pellegrino was high brow so they got it, but then crisps and a BLT isn't as healthy as a pasta pot so maybe that's it, but is a Yazoo healthy?
