Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Deliciously Ella Cost: £1.80 Found at: Morrisons This snack is offensive. I am offended by this snack. It is such a flagrant waste of money. Worse still, it’s genuinely unappetizing. It’s a luxury tax on health nuts, and while I love me a tax on the wealthy, this blatant highway robbery makes... Continue Reading →
Brand: Morrison’s Cost: £1.30 Found at: Morrison’s Pork pies are one of those things that I had always assumed were fictional. I had only ever heard about them in nursery rhymes, along with giants, magic beans and women living in shoes, and so I assumed that these pies were just another colorful piece of...

Brand: Sainsbury’s Cost: £1.35 Found at: Sainsbury’s I don’t know what makes this luxury. The packaging is a little fancier, and there is a little more deep-fried ground pork around my boiled egg, but it is not as if I bit in and thought I’d won the lottery. It tastes exactly the same as a... Continue Reading →
This is an egg, wrapped in ground pork, breaded, and deep-fried. I love it. The name of the game is cholesterol and I am HERE TO WIN. There is not much seasoning, but it turns out that seasoning is not necessary: with enough pork fat and salt, there is plenty of flavor to go around.... Continue Reading →
Brand: UK British Pork Cost: £1 Found at: Sainsbury’s This sausage roll has all the flavor of an unseasoned, grey tube of meat wrapped in dry puff pastry. Because that is what it is. A grey, flavorless cylinder of pork off-cuts that has been unceremoniously shoved into a stale pie curst package. Where is... Continue Reading →
Brand: 7-11 Cost: 158 yen Found at: 7-11 It kills me to say this, it really does, but I did not enjoy this pizza bread. There were good parts, certainly - the bread was soft and the bacon chewy – but the overall experience was just so… oily. And not in the fun way... Continue Reading →
Brand: Family Mart Cost: Gift Found at: Family Mart Oh no. It’s awful. Like, truly genuinely awful. I don’t know whose idea it was to put ume plum flavor on dried seaweed and market it as a fun snack to suck on but that person was wrong. These are not two flavors that belong... Continue Reading →
Brand: Fuziya Cost: 100 yen Found at: Yamadai In honor of @とうふtofu, I bring you: tofu. Whoever you are @とうふtofu – you’re great, keep doing your thing. If you had told me 10 years ago that I would be eating tofu as a dessert, I would have made drastically different life choices. What... Continue Reading →
Brand: Sanrotsu Cost: 108 yen Found at: Daiso I will not survive the apocalypse. I’m a city girl with the survival skills of an up-market Havanese dog so I am well aware that as soon as the hot water runs out, I will probably immediately fall down dead from the shock of cold water on...

Brand: East King Company Cost: 54 yen Found at: Daiso I bought these purely as a gag, expecting them to be horrible and therefore fodder for an amusing blog post. Unfortunately, I was not disappointed, which was disappointing. These are pretty tasty. The chestnuts have been boiled until they are the texture of cooked... Continue Reading →
