BLECH!!!!

Over here, we have Deb, which also has it's own Facebook page.........

Personally, I tried it once to see what it was like, and it tasted like
dishwater (not that I've tried any of that!!).

I also tend to think that places like KFC use the instant mash crap in their
'potatos and gravy'. Which is why I don't eat it.


Interestingly, Smash is apparently a British product........

Chips are chips, they stay 'fresh' for a looooooooong time :-)

The word around is that they are better than our crinkle cut chips, so
they're definitely on the menu!!
And the flavours!!


Original Chutney
Smoked Beef
Mexican Chilli
Tomato Sauce
Farmstyle Boerwors
Biltong Flavour
Fruit Chutney


Smoked Beef, Boerwors, Biltong and Original Chutney are jumping out at me!!

I'll have to procure some for the next 'gathering'.

Thanks, but as you say....... any food items that are imported are OK every
now and then, but wouldn't be a staple in the shopping cart every week!!
