I found tinned Brussels Sprouts in B and M Bargains today ...... 49p ....... I bought one to try as I was utterly intrigued, never having seen sprouts in a tin before. I do love brussels sprouts so these would be good to add to the store if they are palatable.








And of course there would be a free source of gas once consumed .... :lol:

I cant excuse even spend £2 on corned beef. Its outragous.

The low quality fat filled food for the poor is now a overpriced luxury made by our old enemy the Argentinians.

Fray Bentos originally was a place in Uraguay, rather than Argentina, a lot of Corned beef comes from Brazil, and was original formed in the UK.

We buy wine from our old enemies the French, Germans, Spanish, we buy cars like VW, BMW and Mercs, Toyota, Mitsibushi etc from our old enemies the Germans and Japanese , we buy computers and other domestic appliances and other electrical goods from our old enemies the Japanese we heat our homes with boilers made by the Germans, I am sure the list could be even bigger, so why should we feel it necessary to make comments such as

The reason corned beef is so expensive is because the South American beef producers are making more money on premium beef at the moment. Basically they are producing corned beef reluctantly and you ate paying.

We stock 6 lb tins at work, and just after xmas we could not get them at ANY cost. When we could it was pricey.
