That bit of chicken looks like a toddler lost in Sainsburys. The entire compartment is SO BARREN and EMPTY.




That is the best simile I have heard in a while.

Why thanks, Pi!


Here's another one, the comparison is fairly humorous, but the pairing of the two foods... gourmet lasagne and breaded chicken... is utterly perplexing.

If Heinz's website is to be believed, then their Spotted Dick in a can should pop out looking all delicious like the above. Looks too good to be true. What do I REALLY get?



That's right. I ordered a solid lump of brown.

That looks so dry. Drier than dry.
That's the driest dick I've ever seen! Sahara Dick.

The picture on a can of borlotti beans:

Note how WHITE they are.

ACTUAL borlotti beans when they emerge from the can (and they stay the same colour when cooked!):

You just had me snort-laugh again. STOP IT, YOU!


LabyrinthWonder, with regards to Turkey Drummer Sandwiches, for some reason any Bernard Matthews breaded food... on a sandwich... tastes incredible.

For example, Turkey Dinosaurs on a submarine roll with coleslaw. GORGEOUS.

That actually makes some bizarre logic right there.


Another food example which I have shamelessly google-stolen (these ain't ma picz, yo):


NANDO'S CHICKEN

Nando's advertise that your Peri Peri chicken meal will arrive with this kind of grandeur:



but arrives as so:




The last picture still looks awesome, but I find Nando's underwhelming in general.
Overall though, not a bad effort getting it to look similar!


My nandos never looks like the bottom photos :confused:

Instead of doing the "WTF, LOOKS LIKE CRAP!" deal, I just want to say, minus some lettuce fringe etc, PRETTY FREAKIN' GOOD JOB, MCDONALDS, STIRLING.



This quarter pounder actually looked badass today.


The warty thing looks like a tiny cow foetus...disturbing. Some of those plastic tray meal things look foul, which is why I don't go to Iceland :eek:
