    Elbow macaronis with little blocks of molten cheese and little blocks of spam meat. Add in a little kit of ketchup and mayo on the side.

    Makes my wife convulse even thinking about it, but I love it. My grand mother would make this for me every now and then as a treat and it never stopped being a treat.

    I’m fond of the occasional Frey Bentos steak and kidney pie in a can but they’re getting pricey in Australia.

      Fun fact, in The Flash movie (guessing nobodys seen it considering it was a flop of the year) Barry opens his mostly empty fridge… and there’s a tin of these in there. Most people probably think it was a prop product but I literally ate them last week…

      I have a weird thing about ratios with meat/bread and these are the only hotdogs that don’t overwhelm me.

        That is a fun fact, thank you for sharing.

        I have been thinking about 8 HOT DOGS in Brine all day today. A shame the only place I can find it is amazon for $52

                I’ve only sent a handful of emails to IT over the years while working here:

                1. Hello, AutoCAD says I don’t have a license

                2. Hello, I forgot my phone - can you get me into my laptop?

                3. (Literally the next day) Hello, I forgot my phone again…

                4. Hello, my laptop battery is dead, can I have a new one?

                5. Hello, can you please set my Teams profile picture to the attached photo of 8 HOT DOGS in Brine?

            Over about 40 years, yes I believe I have. They were out of jars though, which are also gross as hell.

    Love that food photography style. Two tiny twigs of parsley draped on those huge vulgar sausages. Everything green is somehow greyish.

    I ate mountains of Ye Olde Oak hotdogs as a student.

    I’m now a vegetarian but some days I do think back fondly to them. My usual “guilty pleasure” snack now is a “bagel pizza” - cheap bagel, ketchup, slices of cheddar grilled to be just barely melted. I had it once at a friends’ house whose mum was Canadian, and it lives rent free in my mind.

    He also taught me D&D, painted me a Kroot Auxiliary tau army(!) and was/is a wonderfully odd chap.

    I’m surprised it’s possible to have a favourite.

    I’ve never been able to tell the difference between hotdogs, I had no idea there is any until you get upto proper Frankfurter levels

    Whohhh 8 hotdogs per can? That’s like exactly a pack of buns, there aren’t two left over buns that get no dog.

      We had these last week with a pack of 6 buns, can normally fit 2 extras on to one of the other buns.

    I just had a can of these! 85p, 4x cheaper than their fancier glass-vareity brethren. Stick em in a microwave for a minute, and that’s a lunch right there.

    Growing up, Wagon Wheels used to be my secret pleasure, but I’ve gone off them the last few years - just not that chocolatey or creamy.

    I currently love going to a chicken shop. For a while I lived in a country without one, but those dark days are gone now.
