Food Shaming

Just had a conversation with my DH that got me thinking. I almost always cook homemade stuff, lots of fresh ingredients, variety etc etc and I can't stand most overly processed food. BUT, try as I might, I can't help preferring Smash to real mash, an admission which has actually horrified people. So I wondered what other foods people secretly prefer to the good and "real"thing

    I really love packet shwartz 'mushroom and garlic sauce' or 'cheese sauce' poured over pasta.

    Everyone else in my house hates it though haha
    The opposite of what you know...is also true

    Young's cod in butter sauce, ping in a microwave stuff. The ONLY packet food I eat, and because it's low in calories and has a sauce with it which is delicious with a plate full of fresh veg.

    Butterscotch angel delight (any store version). I know it's full of additives, but it's so good. :o
    Tubes of Tartex veggie pate. Another failing of mine.
  • I prefer pasta sauce in a jar. I mean, I add seasonings to it, and I won't buy the kind with artificial sweeteners, but when I make it from scratch it tastes too much like tomatoes..which I don't like.
  • Sausage sandwiches from the greasy spoon 'caff' near work. I know the sausages are the cheap type that are probably full of pig's bum holes and trotters but it tastes so good, especially when you have a hangover!

    Own brand diet cola. Especially Sainsburys. I massively prefer it to 'proper' Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi.

    Aldi's packet macaroni and cheese
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    I love Tartex too. It's not something you can make yourself anyway.

    Tesco value tomato soup (with pasta and cheese) - probably full of sugar/salt/rubbish but I love it!
