Spag Bol is OK if you bust a gut and make it yourself but the tinned stuff is [Poor language removed]. Spag Bol is one of them dishes that batchelors, students, people newly kicked out of there parental home and people on benefits learn to make.

its the social profiling by numbers i found so humourous.

i have never seen 'canned spag bol' for sale, and im quite glad.

When my college roomates got the munchies out of desperation they took 2 of the few things we had left in our cabinet (Baked Beans and tuna fish) mixed it up, threw it in a pot and scarffed it down. It somehow became their favorite meal and they used to eat it like 5 times/week.

Beans for me. Not much of a spagetti eater. I have a 1.5 pound (.75kilo) can of B&M baked beans, plus some foul tasting Canadian beer that's so bad that they don't even bother to even try to pass it on to piss drinking Coors Light and Budweiser drinking American public (Sleeman Lager). So I'm ready do a Blazing Saddles night whenever you want.

Well it was one of the firs things I learnt to cook (i.e mince with everything) upon being booted from the family home. And then later as a student and doley.

Perhaps the higher strata of society also lives off econo-mince. Though judging by the proliferation of restaurants in the UK it seems doubtful.

Bulk buy ramen can also keep you alive over the course of a few skint years. Just remember to buy a tin of apricots once a week to avoid contracting scurvy.

Next week find out how to go on holiday for a fortnight on £50.

quit the blazing saddles quotes or I'll send mungo after you.

hang that horse!

very little citric acid in apricots, so not the best in the world for combatting scurvy.

''what in the wide wide world of sports''

From Wiki:

Limey is an old American and Canadian slang nickname for the British, originally referring to British sailors. The term is believed to derive from lime-juicer, referring to the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy practice of supplying lime juice to British sailors to prevent scurvy in the 19th century. The term is derogatory in the sense that the British would be allegedly more preoccupied with the savings of limes over lemons which were traditionally used to prevent scurvy. The term is thought to have originated in the Caribbean in the 1880s. A false etymology is that it is a derivative of "Corr-blimey" ("God blind me!").
The term Limey evolved into a verb "to lime" which means to hang out. The British sailors "Limeys" would hang out in the urban areas when off-duty and patronize the local prostitutes. This has been immortalized in the old calypso "Jean and Dinah" by the Mighty Sparrow in 1956.

Wasn't that far off, just not the whole story

 

[SuitsBlue]

love the local prostitutes bit.

whilst in the navy how many butlers were employed to decant lime juice to the men on deck?

 

[Dylan]

I doubt any butlers we used. Get the deck seamen to do some work for crying out loud. If not them, then the cooks.

In fact did they have lime juice, or just suck on limes?

 

[SuitsBlue]

there it is, it was always just limes, why confuse the system with a juicer and decanter.

hence - limey.

The original 'limeys' where those employed in the lime exraction business going back centuries, mots never lived past 25, great employment laws in those days
