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 tired of people pretending SPAM isn't delicious.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago

This looks like a parody product. Like something advertised on Ren and Stimpy

[-] Leeuk@feddit.uk 8 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

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

[-] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 6 points 3 days ago

Hey, don't bash it till you've tried it

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I definitely would if I could stop laughing at "8 HOT DOGS in Brine"

[-] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

Ive had the canned/jarred hot dogs.

theyre fucking gross.

[-] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 4 points 3 days ago

But have you specifically had 8 HOT DOGS ๐Ÿ‘‘ ๐ผ๐“ƒ ๐ต๐“‡๐’พ๐“ƒ๐‘’ ๐Ÿ‘‘

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I really can't get this damn can of hot dogs out of my head.

[-] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

It's my avatar now, so watch out!

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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?

[-] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

Had a good laugh at this one! May the briny goodness of 8 HOT DOGS in Brine be known throughout the globe

[-] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

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

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

[-] Mex@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

oh god, they are so bad... Kinda fancy one now.

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

The serving suggestion is all eight of them.

[-] wtckt@lemm.ee 12 points 3 days ago

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

[-] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago
[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 3 days ago

Your hot dogs come in cans? ๐Ÿ˜จ

[-] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 6 points 3 days ago

I'm equally as astounded as the fact yours come in plastic packagings

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

When you say it out loud, that does sound weird... ๐Ÿค” At least a can makes getting rid of the disgusting hot dog water easier.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Just drink it. The sodium is good for your bonez

[-] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 9 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] MattBlackAlien@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

Ye Olde Oak make veggie hotdogs too !

[-] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 6 points 3 days ago

Didn't know they did! TIL

[-] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 4 points 3 days ago

Well, RIP my waistline then I suppose!

[-] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Ye Olde Oak hotdogs are also good. Normally the little shops I went into only had the Kingsfood ones and they were about 30-40p per tin.

[-] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago

There's something special about corner shop brands. They always have the best dolly mix.

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

How has no one addressed the abomination in the room? Ketchup and melted cheese on a bagel called "pizza"? I hate to yuck your yum, but holy hell.

[-] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 1 points 3 days ago

Would it be better if I did it in my pizza oven?

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Maybe? Probably better than turning your toaster on its side.

[-] TheBlueWatch@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

Sliced up Ye Olde Oak hotdogs, two cans of tuna, mushrooms, mayo. Thatโ€™s my guilty pleasure, although itโ€™s got tuna and mushrooms so itโ€™s automatically healthy, obviously.

Now that Iโ€™ve seen that written down it seems like a weird concoction, but I promise you itโ€™s delicious

[-] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I want to assure you the thought of eating this made me nauseous.

It doesn't look that weird to me, but I'm not sure that reflects worse on me...

[-] essell@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

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

[-] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 4 points 3 days ago

Angel delight. It's a genius product and so simple

[-] Mex@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

never really liked angel delight, but could eat jelly for days.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

Sainsburys do a much cheaper, sugar-free version - I keep a few of the butterscotch variety in case of emergencies.

[-] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 4 points 3 days ago

I like the idea of an angel delight emergency

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

It was one of my favourite things as a kid and I called it Blum Blum, still do.

[-] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 1 points 3 days ago
[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

I also still call blackcurrant squash "juicy" and, when I gave up drinking, most bar staff in my local soon knew what the order of a juicy meant.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

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

[-] Leeuk@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

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

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] superweeniehutjrs@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

In the same vein: Canned Vienna sausages Toast Chee CapriSun

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 1 points 3 days ago

I love how....banal the packaging is. Not very exciting, but very to the point.

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Heck yes, 8 tiny hot dogs in a can! I used to have these when I was young as well.

My guilty pleasure are those cheap pizzas. The REALLY cheap pizzas that still to this day only seem to cost around 60p

This style ๐Ÿ‘
