All thanks to a farmfoods and Iceland diet

[@andrewreid3951]

Just concentrate on KZbin you will make it big

[@mgthestrange9098]

Mike, the macaroni pie has been a part of the Scottish diet for many years. Actually, I could just go one now! Chicken curry pies and haggis pies topped with mashed potato are also available. 😋

[@morganandlou]

We have the best food, roll and sausage with black pudding and hp fruity sauce.

[@clarkfarrell1433]

Macaroni pie are normal aren't they probably cause I'm Scottish but I didn't think our diet was that bad

[@morganandlou]

I'm healthy enough growing up on that sort of food.

[@prittygritty6326]

OldManGamer eughhhh fruit sauce isn’t a Scottish norm 😷

[@morganandlou]

It is in the part of Scotland I come from.

10:54 Mike: What kind of meat is in this? Farmfoods: Yes

[@ianofliverpool7701]

There is literally zero challenge, I have atleast 3 weeks worth of Farmfoods produce in my fridge freezer and I consider myself lucky

Others wouldn't

11:53 lol. Its like a guy went around the factory floor and chucked it in the tray

Bloody hell Mike- don’t complain about the tomatoes- they’re probably the only thing that will prevent you getting scurvy!

[@valentinasofia6345]

Matthew Hendy lol

[@abingleyboy]

Its beans that i'd complain about and everthing else in the pot only lastly would I moan about the toms. I mean the sausage what the yikes is in them. I mean if they cost small change to buy how much do they cost to make & what the Fook with. Yeeek!!

[@graemesnowden3561]

I know I completely agree. I dont think he gets enough credit for this in the comments!

[@Larry]

I can't think of any Farmfood stores near me. See them all the time in the east of England, but zero near me.

[@merlinathrawes6191]

Yeah, where I live it's all Waitrose, Sainsburys and M&S. There is a Lidl though. I think Farmfoods are the lovechild of Kwiksave and Iceland.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

Funny how you see them in the east of England, but as someone who lives in east Anglia I’ve never seen one lol! Nearest one to me is a good while away. I’ve got Iceland, Aldi & Lidl. I always thought Heron Foods / Farm Foods was more popular up north.

Yes Laura Butler 100% agree

[@missbrightstar247]

I realised that since watching you'd lost weight but seeing that throwback....well done you! What a fantastic achievement

[@chinaski31dj]

These things are always slightly better in the oven. If you thought breakfast is salty, they do a fish, chips and mushy peas. Worst thing about college was these meals

[@fookdatchit4245]

A proper week on, with Jeavons complaining with plenty of laffs. Thanks a lot m8, gr8 post

I reckon that kebab meat meal would be amazing after drinking a couple of cans of special brew.

And only special brew

@Bob Mathews It is pretty funny you think yourself so important that anybody should stop what they're doing and respond to you. I'd say you are the true "tosser" whatever the bloody hell that means.

[@clareabelle4826]

Wow Mike you have had such a transformation from your first week on, well done you! :)

[@michaelpowell6805]

The hatred of the poor is visceral. Bit like an Agatha Christie. You know?

[@gemmasmith6715]

The kebab Nd chips makes me genuinely sad. Like about to cry sad, thinking about people who have bought this for real

[@iana6713]

Nowt wrong with Farmfoods - fine when you're on a budget and you have a chest freezer. They do good deals on a heap of frozen veggies for £3 I think and loads of other stuff.

[@Sarahtonen]

Mike is a thin boy now! Loving the winter beard!

[@Bille994]

That breakfast for £1.69?! Surely it'd be cheaper (and much nicer) for people to buy all the individual components from the basic store brands of the bigger supermarkets. At Aldi it's about 23p for a tin of beans that'd provide 3 portions, tomatoes are just as cheap, eggs come in at like 8p each in a 12 pack, and you can get a bag of frozen sausages (of dubious quality) for about £1. I'm so confused as to why this product exists! Is it purely for the convenience of quickly microwaving it? Wouldn't it be better to just have something like eggs and/or beans with toast if time's an issue? So many questions

[@Beardygaz666]

This does look a lot like, "let's find the worst they have to offer." We're on a budget, and they provide great deals like 3x fish or seafood for £10, which is not processed, or deals on frozen chicken which are great. Their ready meals are awful, but nearly all ready meals are awful. Love you mate, but it feels like your choices are character assassination

[@laurenhawksford5005]

Couldn't agree more with this, we shop at farm foods regularly for myself my partner and find it fantastic value for money

[@fallenishvalen9970]

He says half way in he wants to show off the weird stuff they make lol It's not like hes trying to call them out he's just eating some goofy food.

[@Beardygaz666]

@@fallenishvalen9970 just seems a bit unfair when he didn't do the same with, for instance, the other supermarkets' value brands, which have some horror shows he avoided

You should do a Heron Foods one. It's the only supermarket directed at smack heads. 😂😂

Seeing the Pouch ad in the video description made it sound like Pouch was the company that owned Farmfoods. Made for quite the surprise when he did the plug just before lunch, that it’s basically completely unrelated.

[@kuroistuc]

Used to eat those big breakfasts in my early 20s. Think they were £1.29 a go. Surprisingly respectable for the price

Yeah Mike you're looking really good these days man.

Macaroni pies are amazing, I lived in glasgow for a bit, never tried haggis til I moved back to England and still haven't had a deep fried Mars bar but got hooked on these absolute gems

I live in Devon and I’ve never seen or heard of Farm Foods? When you showed what you were having for dinner I was HORRIFIED

There's quite a big one in Plymouth. I'm not a fan personally, but it's very cheap.

They sell those in the corner shop near me. They have fish n chips, liver and onions, big breakfast, some stew or something. It looks like hospital food. I pity the poor people who buy the crap.

The pies are scotch pies. Not sure if you get them in englamd, very popular here in Scotland :)

No exactly, scotch pie is made with mutton. This is just a macaroni pie, but it's still very Scottish! That was a gash pie though, more cheese sauce needed desperate like..

You might already know this, the reason your cat throws itself on it’s back in front of you, is to show that it loves you! My daughter’s (also black, coincidently) cat does that too and, when she stays with me, throws herself on her back when I’m shuffling my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night! Also the pastry on the mac n cheese pies benefits from being heated in the oven, it comes out crispy.

[@mikemayers9353]

Is it actually cheaper than asda or tesco ? I buy mostly all my stuff from asda and ive never had problems , i dont do ready meals or premade stuff tho

[@abeldementiaravenheart]

For dry goods like cereal, soda, crisps, biscuits I'd say yes. You can also get pretty good deals on fish, pizzas, chips, frozen veg and fruit if that's your thing. I wouldn't recommend them for fresh fruit, veg useually don't have much choice. The toilet paper they have is amazing, super cheap but the same quality as the top brands.

[@MissUzan]

How was it mushy and crispy?

[@rebasack21]

I would love to try the macncheese pie, but where i live in the usa it is hard to find a decent tasting frozen mac of any kind. The best 2 I have found are lean cuisine white cheddar mac n cheese, and the super cheap banquet brand. There are some boxed ones that can be improved with real cheese and canned chicken, but i cant always count on my body to allow me to cook fresh food.

[@wullaballoo2642]

Mac and cheese pie can't be hard to make, just cook pasta, stir in cheese, get ready made pastry and fill with mac n cheese.

[@annother3350]

The tomatoes were the best bit!

[@LegoRocker1984]

Trick to the donner meat is to remove it and cook separately for 2 mins in the microwave. Chips in the oven and add the cheese.

I shop at Farmfoods for frozen vegetables and suchlike which are perfectly OK. A word of warning - some of their food eg duck comes from China. Food from China is to be avoided as some of the production methods are sometimes suspect.

That dinner was drunk-people food only worse, because it's premeditated. I mean, you've got to buy it in a shop, preheat the oven and time it to put the cheese on, instead of the traditional preparation of stumbling into a chippy at 2am absolutely shitfaced. It's not even got chilli sauce on it to take the taste away!
