I don’t eat maccies any more, but I do make the exception for these beauties. Usually get two doubles, both as meals so I can have coffee, OJ and two hash browns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't planned but was walking past one this morning at 10am and wandered in. Did think about having a second one but my belt is already at breaking point!

That’s my issue now I’m into my 40’s, can’t just eat anything and everything any more. Gotta pick and choose my excesses carefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I couldn't put my finger on what 2 was, didn't have a clue, didn't like either bar and I don't think the creme nature of them makes for good chocolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) In an attempt to lower my blood sugar levels I have just bought a "loaf" of pumpernickel bread. I am a bread addict and apparently pumpernickel is probably the best for lowering all manner of high levels of everything, so I've knocked all bread on the head and tried said german type. Am really not sure about it. Dark, strong flavour, dense.....about 6 slices for £3....like malt loaf without the fruit bit. Think this might be a one off. Have any other VTers tried it and what do they recommend putting on it ? The fact that it's name loosely translates to "devil fart" doesn't help.

Open sandwiches and what not. I wouldn't be making packed lunches or mopping up soup with it. Edited August 20, 2022 by AVFC_Hitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be making packed lunches or mopping up soup with it. Sounds right. I made the mistake of eating the first slice dry and it didn't make a good impression on me, but some cottage cheese or peanut butter - or even just butter - made it more appealing. Definitely NOT the best bread for packed lunches....open sandwiches at best, like you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Wotsits crunchy Disappointing, I love proper cheetos but they aren't easy to get, the Wotsits aren't as cheesy or have as much flavour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Tell them not to stop them! I love that style of crisp and prefer them to regular wotsits They just didn't have that offensive to other people strong smell and taste that cheetos or nik naks have Not sure why cheetos seem to be trying to do anything other than their crispy cheese version, they're top tier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 its not that big a product in the UK so the consumer testing is mainly carried out in Spain and the NL ... you might be getting a product based on feedback from those awful foreign peoples taste buds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Bit of a boring one but I toasted some bread under the grill as opposed to the toaster (like some of us did back in the day) and I got to say it looks and tastes so much better done that way. Have to keep checking it, sure..and it might take longer but it was a proper old skool treat, piled on a load of baked beans and chilli flakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
