Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: I love chocolate variants. With chocolate sponge, a chocolate mousse bit, cream, sprinkles. Hello baby. And everyone can pretty much make one. And I love custard and cream!!! Also it's fun taking them down layer by layer
Yang: They'd never be my first choice dessert. Don't rate the ones with jelly or FRUIT in. ppppft.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!YIN: Great if you need a snack that won't fill you up. A low calorie option for the diet-conscious. The old bulldog mascot was badass.
YANG: Crap compared to alternatives/their previous selves. They're basically flavoured air. They look nothing like musical quavers, so trading standards will be notified.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: It's one of my fave. bars because, quite simply, it's delicious. Creamy white chocolate mmmmmmm. I remember they were once on offer at 23p, I nearly overdosed on them.
Yang: Can't think of much yangness for Milky Bar. I guess they're smaller now than in the past.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: If you want a cheesy fix, you can't really go wrong with these. BOOM cheesey flavour.
Yang: They stink out the place, and leave you with cheese dust fingers, like you're some sort of Artificial cheese-infested Tinkerbell trying to make everyone fly.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!That's pretty vague, dani, but I'll try to answer it based on the entire like, HUNDRED cakes Mr Kipling makes...
YIN: In general, his cakes are consistently pretty good. Great portion control with the little cakes/slices. Very convenient with the ripper-packs/individual wrapping.
YANG: He clearly cannot satisfy his wife, as the ads always show he disappointment. His pies are always woefully empty. I doubt he makes all these himself.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Apologies Toto!
Yin: It tastes so good, and its so convenient, and you get the 'I am BRITISH' feel. Plus you getta use those tiny forks and they salt and vinegar it for you.
Yang: They can over salt and vinegar it, especially as it just hits the top layer, leaving the bottom plain. PLUS it can be SO filling and you get so full, but it seems like too much of a waste so you force yourself. I now can't move.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: Goes so well with a nice salad and it's pretty refreshing.
Yang: The way it stains so easily with its reddy-purple colour. Ends up looking like you've bled all over your plate.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!YIN: They're yummy. Banana splits are epic. Make exceptional pretend guns or floor-traps. They come pre-wrapped so no need for extra packaging! POTASSIUM.
YANG: The inevitable sexual innuendo whilst you eat one. Stringy bits. The little horrid "nipple" bit on the end where it joins the peel. Opening a perfectly fine banana to see a big brown splodge of doom on the interior fruit. Falling foul to a banana floor-trap.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: Custard is delicious and goes well with cake/jelly which gives me nostalgic memories from primary school. Even though the custard in school was really hot and lumpy it was the best I've ever had.
Yang: I'm not a big fan of Ambrosia custard. It just tastes a bit too sweet/creamy for my liking.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: They are key component of the best sarnies ever. And they're so easy to cook, can wack them in the oven for a lovely dinner if you've forgotten to sort anything else out. And somehow, even though I don't really remember buying them..they're always there. Waiting for me.(Original post by Fusion)

Yin and Yang of FISH FINGERS?
Yang: They're not that exciting or impressive, I always feel like I'm having a lazy dinner if I have them. Probably not all that filling.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!YIN: Even with cheap pate you get to pretend you're posh. Exceptionally rich and tasty, you don't need much for a flavourful snack or lunch.
YANG: You get those typical shirkers who repel it despite never having tasted nor understand what pate even is. It's basically just meat paste/spread with a fancy name. Oh, also, it's more fattening than a bucket of fat covered in butterlardchips.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: better than fruitella. Also lovely sweetness, not too much, and don't hurt my teeth like Haribo (am
I the only one?!)
Yang: sometimes they can be too hard, or they get stuck in your teeth! Plus you get loads of mini sweet wrappers to deal with!

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: A can of Heinz mixed through with ketchup is like, my childhood delight. I thought it was absolute magic. And also, proper macaroni cheese homemade is one of the tastiest things ever.(Original post by alexsasg)
Yin: Marshmallows are lovely and chewy.
Yang: They can get a bit sickly after a while!
Yin and Yang of....macaroni cheese?
Yang: Pasta, carbs? Cheese, fat? Hello possibly the most unhealthy dish on the planet. And it can only be improved with MORE CHEESE or BACON. There is no way to have a healthy version, not if you're doing it right.
Yin and yang of..strawberries? -

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: Summers day, chocolate fondue, a pot of single cream, a tub of nutella, a fruit salad. What would these things be without the great strawberry?
Yang: When you buy a punnet and half are smooshed or mouldy. Or you bite in expecting a sweet flavour and it's kinda bitter.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Flapjacks
Yin: Healthy snack: it's mostly oats, after all! Filling. Easy to just grab and go. Tastes of awesome. Myriad incredible additions, e.g. dried fruit, chocolate.
Yang: Butter? Sugar? Golden syrup? Not so healthy after all. Bad flapjacks turn your mouth into a desert.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: Easy comfort food, with mash and beans. Also great in a sandwich. Plus I come from the country where the best sausages are made (Lincolnshire(Original post by dani_1991)
Yin: It's quick, and tastes quite like chicken curry.
Yang: It's still, after all, a pot noodle. Stick to Tesco's 9p noodles.
Yin and Yang of: Sausages?
).
Yang: Some sausages are utterly disgusting when you find fatty crunchy bits in them.
