Your wife is correct .... if you want to avoid a visit to the cardiac ward.

been here before Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Talking of shite tinned meat products of dubious content, we are discussing tinned hamburgers yesterday, preferably in onion gravy.

highlandjambo3 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Used to like them when I was a wee one.....mum couldn’t afford much tbh however.............probably had 2 - 3 of these over the last 10 years, maybe just me but they seemed to be a lot more gloopier gravy and not much chunks of beef.......... Point to note: I’m a much greedier bar steward now so that may have an impact on my perspective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
