    There seems to be a bit of a trend in the food industry at the moment for re-presenting stew / pie filling as a soup. Had a goulash one myself the other day and it was minging.

      Sounds like a way of getting rid of failed pies; instead of throwing them away or selling as pig swill, chuck them in a big blender then sell to idiots.

        If I am in town the choices for a quick lunch are Marks, Somerfield, Sainburys, Pret, Boots, Greggs, Phill Pots or any of the independant sandwhich shops which seem to be staffed by people in unwashed tabards.

        Pret comes out as one of the better ones to be honest.

              Ironically, without the processed food industry probably realising, traditional goulash (gulyás or gulyásleves) is actually a paprika spiced soup rather than the "mince with a few peas and leftovers thrown in" offering we normally expect.
              If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

                    Greggs are no longer the Fat Boy's Friend™. They've gone really downhill.

                    Favourite now is the Pound Bakery. Everything Greggs used to be, with the added bonus of "everything's a pound".

                      Been informed that if I ever have it for lunch again I am not getting back in the house.
