For me textures are as much a part of eating as flavour.

This is so true.

Another winner, 10/10 for the price. This would cost me 3x as much in USA. For some reason the Brits don't care for chicken wings, but in America we eat the hell out of them, and they are pricey as hell because supply can never meet demand. Only 2.50 for an entire bag that fills me up, unbelievable. Now you Brits, keep enjoying your lamb and your Sunday roasts, you keep the wings cheap for me damnit! :rockout:

America has a culture of finger foods (pizza, wings, burgers, etc) and wings in particular are associated with Football.

What? Not here. Here it's Beer, Pizza, Hamburgers, Nachos and Beer. In that order.. Wings aren't even in the top 5..

Not for tailgating, for TV football.

Pizza and wings.

Yup, in home TV American FootBall watching goodness. Wings are not a part of it in my area. TBell(or DelTaco) comes in the top 10 as well. Same thing in SoCal, Utah and NYC(all places I've been in recent years and have been a part of a group watching a game). This is true for FBall, BBall and NASCAR. Pretty much all the same. No one ever gets Wings. Maybe it's just my group of family & friends?

My Nascar munch is peanuts and beer, or the occasional cheeky burger from Maccies. Maybe a pizza. Wings are too messy, not to mention they barely contain any meat. Not my thing.

Exactly...why bother with these toxic ready meals?!

the fridge ones I buy from Sainsburys really are not that bad for you, if you look at the ingredients on the back it's honestly not bad at all imo (I would argue its actually healthy)

here is the back of my indian from sainsburys in the fridge right now, where is the bad part? true, it would be nice if its olive oil instead of the oil it uses, but other than that i see no issues

Tescos finest meals are very good but cheap ready meals i would just avoid.

Yeah, I think that's why they're not too popular where I'm at.

I never actually order hot wings. That's due to the wife making the frigging most awesome hot wings ever!!!

We have taken them to people that claim they don't care for hot wings and we will tell them to try one.......They usually eat 5 or 6. :laugh:

I keep telling her, she needs to patent them suckers.

Must be a slow news day down at the BBC

Also. How sad do you have to be to complain about something like this?? ( :edit: Well no so much 'complain' but sad enough to write an email to the brand about it)

And why should they? Who is he? The King? the Taxman?? Food safety inspector/enforcement??

If its not going to kill you. Why do you have to know?

::EDIT::

He probably could have gotten more than just £2 for his effort if he didnt eat it. Put it in a clear plastic case and sold it on ebay. Some collector probably would have given him £5 for it.

i do like the sun sometimes, but not always it tends to give me headaches... a nice drizzle/gray clouds i actually enjoy a lot because i suffer from severe dry eye disease, and the drizzle makes my eyes feel amazing. i still dislike rain, but thankfully most of the time here it is just drizzling
