Victoria would be proud to know her empire still provides for the people even now

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.

Tikka masala is English food no matter how Indian it seems
FozzyOsbourne@lemm.ee 1 month ago
It was invented in Scotland, so it’s British but not English.

Still can’t understand how some people think England is synonymous with the entire United Kingdom, when in reality it’s only a fraction of it.

With the signs in two languages and the one trying to be in english (lulz) being smaller, where in Quebec is that?
stelelor@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
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.

Canned Macaroni and Cheese?
Barbarians!
It comes out of a damn box!

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
Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 1 month ago
This should be the national flag.
FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Looks about right.
synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I bet only British tourists are shopping in this section. French people craving for beans are just eating cassoulet.
disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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

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.

Jeez why so many cans? Is the country getting ready for war?
Oisteink@lemmy.world 1 month ago
is it joint usa/uk food section?
tektite@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
Looking at both flags alternating repeatedly on every shelf I would assume yes.
Oisteink@lemmy.world 1 month ago
So the English language food section
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
All of that is uk other than the macaroni. Even the Indian curries are uk. That’s like our speciality, not fish n chips
PotatoSkins@lemmy.world 1 month ago
FYIW, that brand of “simmer sauce” is a staple in my US kitchen.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 month ago
Not even Branston beans. What a disgrace.
Fontasia@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Yeah, what the fuck why is Mississippi Belle macaroni and cheese in the UK section?
Fontasia@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Ok, correction I do see a tiny USA flag on the top shelf, but not on the second shelf

Heinz macaroni cheese is the food of the gods. I love it.
smokebuddy@lemmy.today 1 month ago
those chicken stock cans at the top are taking the botulism

Apart from having the flags the wrong way around, what’s wrong?

I haven’t seen that many beans in one place outside of a farm.

That’s not a terrible price for Patak’s stuff…it’s like double that in Canada from what I’ve seen
rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 1 month ago
I have never seen mac and cheese in a can before and I am honestly mildly disgusted.

They started making canned spaghetti carbonara now too
Thassodar@lemm.ee 1 month ago
It’s like they’re trying to commit war crimes.
Jeanschyso@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Considering the origin of carbonara, it’s not that weird.
csm10495@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
I live in the USA and can confirm never seeing this before.
Though I’d try it tbh
Kushan@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s… Not good
untorquer@lemmy.world 1 month ago
You can get it at WinCo if you’re in the west.
sheridan@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Canned anything with cheese tastes revolting from my experience.
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
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.
untorquer@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Avoid at all costs. Bought one can for the novelty of feeling the same way. It is so much worse than you’re imagining.
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I can imagine fake chese custard and slight amounts of overcooked rubbery pasta.
Classy@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
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.

Chef Boyardee sells mac and cheese in a can in the US!

I dont understand… mac and cheese is litterally the easiest thing to cook. Who is this even marketed to?
