I like corned beef and spam, but could never eat tripe, pigs feet or brains. shudder!!


Love braised steak and roast lamb with mint sauce.


I LOVE marmite!.
But don't like jam.

I remember "Bread and an Oxo" in an enamel mug also "Milk Pobs" same thing as latter but made with Milk,. and not forgetting me Marmite Soldiers. :-D

But give me Wild Rabbit and I`m in ecstasy.
Oh Happy days.....

Ps; I don't miss the 1940s anyway whatever.

Why is corned beef considered to be Pleb Food ? :-S :-S. Just a matter personal taste. I like it, and I can assure whoever said this I am not a pleb. My son would not thank you for it even if it was all there was to eat.

Sorry but I find it offensive describing food as Yuk.

You may not like particular foods but not everyone has the same tastes.

Fried bread , chip butties and arctic roll :-)

Corned dog,, I call it ,,,its vile and spam,,,,dont like either...liver is yuk....dont like cold roast meat.,,,,,,,dont like anything that has vinegar in it.,that includes pickles and sauces ,,,the devils foods..oh and jam sandwiches,,,,,,,,,

good butchers sausage,,,, and mash aint bad.,once or twice a year,,,,,
:-D.

Gosh I'm feeling hungry already! :-D :-D

Oh and I forgot

Crisp or Chip Sandwiches

Well I don't eat it because these days I cook with oil not dripping but I did love toast with dripping and salt.

Liver and onions or kidney, bacon and onions I love

Actually not keen on corned beef but wouldn't call it 'pleb' food.

Herring roes on toast is that 'peasant' food?

I love

Spam
Fish Fingers
And Burgers (preferably M & S or my Butchers own)

Being of Irish extraction, Boiled Ham and Cabbage with potatoes boiled in their skins was a regular in our home.

Love Braised Steak, but not too fond of a stew (a totally different flavour)

All time fav. Roast Beef with all the trimmings (no sprouts!)

Will not eat Bambi or Thumper and do not get me started on Veal! Actually got our canteen at work (many years ago) to take Veal off the menu, well they had too as once I told everyone where it comes from/how the baby cows are treated, no one would eat it!!!!

My OH has always said, that if I had nothing in the fridge but cheese, I would be happy....

:-D
So DazedConfused, are your 3 favourites Yuk, Yuk and Yuk, are they dishes made from Yak and Duck meat?

;-) ;-) ;-)

Corned beef hash, liver & onions,sausage & mash, any cold roast meat with chips &pickles & chutney, fish chips & mushy peas........in fact most things I would never have eaten in England, but which are manna from heaven here because they are rarer than hens teeth.

I like corned beef and spam :-D

How about "Boiled Beef and Carrots" or a decent All In Stew. As for Corned Beef being called Pleb Food :-D In the forces it was refered to as "Desert Chicken". :-D :-D

Corned Beef - along with Brussel Sprouts and Aubergines the devils food.

Yuk Yuk And Yuk again!!!!

Recently on another forum a poster referred to Corned beef as “pleb” food.
Now I take issue with that and food snobbery in general so what 3 “peasant” foods do you like?
My votes go to.

Corned beef hash

Crusty bread, salty butter and a chunk of cheddar

Bread and sugar sandwich, or a bit more upmarket, made using banana and brown sugar.
;-) ;-) ;-)
