Snacksters ~BACON BAP & SAUSAGE BAP~ || £2 each || Iceland || Microwave In The Bag

[@faithharper1756]

I admire your bravery Pap. You suffer so we don't have to. Loved listening to you play Black Beauty, that took me back many decades. Thanks for all you do.

[@Papparoni]

You're so welcome Faith, I watch stuff from the 70s and 80s when online, way more wholesome than today's offerings.

[@faithharper1756]

@@Papparoni Totally agree.

[@timmy2916]

thankyou for speaking with our Siobhan. Aprreciated.

[@Papparoni]

No worries.

[@mikethedigitaldoctorjarvis]

You didn't even have to to go "oh yeah".....your face said it all ! 🤣

[@Papparoni]

Indeed sometimes an expression can speak a thousand words eh Mike!

[@glynnjones007]

You know it's pretty awful when you don't get an "Oh Yeah" of any kind. Great, fair review my friend.

[@Papparoni]

Many thanks as always Glynn, here's hoping for an oh yeah next review..

[@Redsnapper123]

I suppose 5 years ago when they might have been 99 pence each you might have got away with it. (As long as you had a portable bottle of ketchup).

[@Papparoni]

True, 99p is more appropriate for these things.

[@BitOfMunch]

I saw those in Iceland a couple of days ago, my fist thought was "How Much?!" and my second thought was "I'll leave them for someone else to review", you've taken one for the team there mate!

[@Papparoni]

Exposing filth is part of what we do eh mate!

[@BitOfMunch]

@@Papparoni 👍

[@louiseed1321]

"Oh no?" Cool bit of keyboard action though! Also "How much?" Jeezo, hehe.

[@Papparoni]

Cheers Lou, indeed two quid for this filth is unnesessary!

[@louiseed1321]

@@Papparoni Nah it's just a gross insult, as are meal deals recently, I am sick of cold sandwiches as well for work, I am sick of most food in general to be fair, I am mainly settled into a veggie diet recently lots of bean stews and rice, but it's hard to prepare when juggling work and the kids not for the actual cooking but to source proper dried beans and lentils, a few months ago I bought a pack of beef mince from the local supermarket, and it was stinking so, it has put me off, I got laughed at taking the meat back for a refund, it was that shocking and I got refused as I had opened the package so aye. I have been experimenting with mushrooms and legumes, for making "burgers" etc. Been going good really, no one notices the wee bit of marmite I chuck in. If my teenager wants meat I will oblige, I am not forcing this on anyone, and iron is important especially for us women. I take a vitamin supplement as I have done for a good while. I think I need to do a nice lentil soup as it was freezing today, a vat and bake an actual batch of rolls from scratch. The quality of fresh produce has went downhill again I fear in our supermarkets, I got a nice looking braeburn apple to have with my lunch, it was old mealy and chewy, that seems to be a trend. Mouldy grapes and stringy celery on the shelves, is it just me? Everything is rank, I wish we had a greengrocer near me. Anyway thank you for trying these filthy things so we don't have to, it is a service to the public! I will try the no pork sausage rolls from lidl tonight and let you know if they are as manky as the normal lidl ones, it's basically the same crap in them, but pork has been replaced with soy protein, still, all the goodness of rubbish and chalk :D

[@Papparoni]

They should've refunded you for that beef, fools. All food is way less nutritious than when we were young, I find that only a few farm shops around here sell proper food. There are reasons for the mouldy stuff, smaller stuff etc but I will be arrested if I say why on here. Look forward to hearing how manky that no pork action was...

[@louiseed1321]

@@Papparoni I know, I complained via email as well I complain rarely and 10 years ago I got a £10 coupon sent in the post just because of a mislabelled melon, piel de sapo one that was supposed to be half price and I didn't notice I got charged fully as I had my at the time 5 year old zooming about my feet, hehe, aww memories, I think I was a bit stressed out and wasn't working so did a email disappointment to them, and £10 was a surprise. Exactly Paps, I am not going to rant about "You know" as I enjoy your channel, I love it still. Lighthearts and kindhearts. Well I am going in biased as I have had right tasty actual oinky sausage rolls most of my life of course. We shall see how the Soy protein (aka soya bean paste) will stand up, I have been trying Red sticker action, and a lot of it is rank. I should have videoed me doing vegan meat replacements, honest reactions!

[@Papparoni]

Chuckle, I had a couple of those £10 vouchers around the same time. Careful how much soy/vegan action you consume Lou ;)

[@mmwaashumslowww7167]

At £2 each, I am glad that I chose a sainsbury's steak and gravy pie for lunch for the same money. The best places for rolls like that are the lay-by food vans. Hot, freshly cooked and to be honest, I've never had a bread roll that's rank from them either. Thanks for trying those out so that we don't need to.

[@Papparoni]

My pleasure Uncle, and I agree with you regarding the food vans, had many a good time stood next to one.

[@markwinter8315]

Agree 100% regarding laybye vans, even though I'm retired I still visit 'em 👍

[@grahamjenkinson3487]

Good Morning Papparoni, another exceptional review of this filth ! thank you for your honesty and for saving me from buying them as I nearly did the other day ! that was a close call - such a shame that the Bacon butty was nasty and the sausage one not much better ! Snacksters are so variable - have a great Friday Mate :-)

[@Papparoni]

Variable is a good way of describing Snacksters mate :)

[@matstaniforth]

They looked like the kind of things that you'd get at a railway station chain cafe, because you forgot how bad they tasted last time. At least Rustlers are decent enough to give you a sachet of sauce. I suppose you could toast the buns and fry/grill the bacon and sausages. But, if you're doing that, you may as well buy bacon, sausages and rolls...✌

[@Papparoni]

Your first sentence will keep a grin on my face..

[@williamlong7188]

I highly recommend you try and go to Sainsbury’s and try their Taste The Difference slow cooked Harissa lamb tagine with pomegranate glaze. It is absolutely delicious it’s very tasty. I had it about 3 weeks ago. It costs £7.50 without a Nectar Card and £6.50 with a Nectar Card. You should definitely try this. Try it alongside a baked potato like I did. It’s amazing.

[@Papparoni]

Thank you for the recommendation William, it certainly sounds tasty.

[@sonic-factory]

The Black Beauty theme brought back Alan Partridge vibes. I hope that was somehow partially intentional, if not - no worries!

[@Papparoni]

Hahaa, I see what you mean!

[@ThatWayneFella1980]

Hello Pappy I'm making a bacon and egg cob for my lunch at work today HP sauce and fried mushrooms yum as for the sausages I am a silly sausage I've been told.😊

[@Papparoni]

Makes two of us then Wayne!

[@robertatkinson1347]

Yeah I was going to say Pap I honestly didn't think these were as bad as what you thought.. however I did add some HP brown sauce with both of them and did prefer the sausage one a little more, I think it's definitely fair to say that it's a good job I didn't have them without sauce and I totally agree I thought you would have maybe got some ketchup or brown sauce with them!

[@Papparoni]

Oh yes Mr Atkinson, HP brown helps a lot of things along. I reckon a slice of filthy cheese would please my palate as well, thanks for asking me to try them as I actually enjoy being annoyed!

[@robertatkinson1347]

​@Papparoni I love seeing you annoyed too Pap as you can probably tell by now, especially when you say for them to get back round that table 😄

[@mrdangiles90]

Steamed bacon😂 nice haha.Unlucky Pap...someone had to try em

[@Papparoni]

At school, steaming someone meant to beat them up, and I would've preferred that to today's steaming!

[@mrdangiles90]

@@Papparoni probably a banned term with today's bonkers society mate

[@Papparoni]

True, and I'm surprised bonkers got through the YT net as they may have thought it was plural of a bonker, risible times mate.

[@johndavis7944]

Definitely no Papp Bum Rap here. There's nothing fancy about the product or it's price. Personally I'd have divided the bacon and sausage equally between the two baps, drowned them in brown sauce and thought of something sensual while devouring the disappointment. Most likely the bread is made that way to withstand the microwave treatment. Time to revisit that little food van you got those delicious baps from last year. Cheers Papp 👍😀

[@Papparoni]

Dividing the meat up would've helped John, maybe a fried egg too, and I'd forgotten just how amazing the Koala Kitchen's baps were so you're right, I'll pop back and see them :)

[@chrisfrench5304]

Lol i knew you were going to say that . Microwaved bread of any form , is soooooo doughy and just horrible lol . Even a bottle of sauce doesn't disguise that lol

[@Papparoni]

Indeed so Chris, the birds seem to be enjoying the rest of that bread though!

[@chrisfrench5304]

@@Papparoni keep them fed for days .

[@DaveyColl]

Maybe do them again in the air fryer with some brown sauce and compare

No doubt you will be trying the new chicken phal from Aldi , it's doing the rounds.

[@Papparoni]

It's on my radar Michael..

[@AllanNeaves-qn3zr]

The word " Dense " could apply to anybody buying this food item 😳 No way can any bread based food stuff be well cooked or re-heated in a microwave. It stands even less of a chance with no butter or dairy spreads. No flavour inhancer (red sauce, brown sauce or in the case of the sausage, maybe mustard. A cheaply made, in terms of quality ingredients. Fast food fix. Finger food to fill your 15 minute meal break. So from me, it's a no thank you to the baps But a big thank you for taking the time to warn us and taking one for the team😊Allan&Family

[@Papparoni]

Many thanks Allan & family, goodness only knows who let this go to market in it's current state!

[@nigelh3253]

I'm always suspicious of bread/rolls heated​ in the microwave - really needs to go into a toaster. e@@Papparoni

[@rickb3645]

I was really hoping for much better from these two Snacksters products Papp... I used to buy their Burgers from my local corner shop every now and then... But after the quality started to go downhill... I never really bothered with them again... And that must be about five years ago now... So i was secretly keeping my fingers crossed that these would be of a much better quality this time my friend... But sadly not... I could buy myself a pack of 6 Warburtons Sliced Soft White Rolls for £1.20... And a pack of 5 Aldi Deli German Frikadellen Patties for £2.89 pal... So for about the same money as these two Snacksters Bacon Bap & Sausage Bap... I could buy something i would enjoy a lot more... I'll be giving both of these a miss my friend... But i appreciate the heads-up Papp... All the very best... Cheers mate. 🍺

[@Papparoni]

I'm the same Rick, I used to enjoy the odd Snacksters burger too, hope their chilled doner kebab is the same as it was as I really rather like that, and I must get re-involved with those Frikadellen... :)

[@rickb3645]

@@Papparoni Yeah mate... I haven't had Frikadellen for ages either Papp... It's mainly because i shop at Asda these days... I just wished that they and some of the other mainstream supermarkets stocked them... So that i can have easy access to them... Rather than making a special trip out to Aldi or Lidl... Just to pick up a few packs for myself... 😭😂 Cheers Papp. 🍺

[@comeonfrankiefish9630]

💯 better if you air fry them

[@altclut]

Those baps were sinister and obviously made by a left handed person! Be careful! 😂😂😂

[@Papparoni]

Also reviewed by a left handed person, I do like to swim against the current! :D

[@wildwine6400]

Ooft, don't think I'd ever buy those. If I wanted some sort of cheap microwave meat product I'd just get a Rustlers burger

[@Papparoni]

Indeed WW, if I had to eat a micro burger I'd probably have the Rustlers Rib.

[@TheProdigyFan100]

Microwave bacon is rank bro

[@Papparoni]

Damn right ProdigyFan

[@grahammelvin5398]

I'd rather go hungry than eat either of those Baps

[@Papparoni]

Can't say I blame you Graham, such a poor effort from Snacksters, been a few over the past year or so.

[@Essydyk]

I didn't think these would make their way up North to us Scots as we don't do doughy baps but quick look confirms they are available for delivery in my online account. Think I will pass though as I have a quality bakers 100 yards away who take care of all my sausage and bacon cravings. These must the lowest scores you have handed out for a while - hope you didn't go hungry.

[@Papparoni]

Can't beat having a decent butcher close by, and I did go hungry as the rest of the bread went out for the birds and the rest of the meat went in the neighbour's dog.

[@leeirvine1784]

Looked absolutely dreadful……. Have you seen the new Bilash Chicken Phal ready meal from Aldi? Come out on the 8th October, might be worth a review!

[@Papparoni]

I've heard about it Lee, it's on my radar...

[@tyrozone5]

I was expecting it to be tasty, not rank.

[@Papparoni]

Me too, bit of a let down really.

[@EdwardHinton-qs4ry]

How do they get away with this? 2 quid for clearly inedible, cheap food. No butter, no sauces, looks dry and old. It's a disgrace and this is before watching the whole review.

Disgraceful is an appropriate term for these things Edward.

£2 for them I don't think, so they look so unappetising and the taste test looked like it was hard work for the taster

[@Papparoni]

Indeed it was Mark.

[@mansfieldlad123]

Absolutely shocking what kind of person buys this muck you can make a decent bacon / sausage butty for well under a pound it's not rocket science. Long life bread is disgusting full stop and putting it in a microwave will only make it 10 times worse I don't know how they have the cheek to charge £2 for what is a road kill bap.

[@Papparoni]

I feel your rage Ladd, these food companies need to take a look at themselves..

[@Edsthemeparks]

No idea who buys this get some sausages and bacon and fresh rolls must be cheaper and better

[@Papparoni]

Indeed even making your own the night before and eating them cold for lunch the following day would be better than this effort

[@desiangrezifoodie]

So stodgy you could hardly swallow the first mouthful. I'll give these a wide berth thanks to your lack of an "oh yeah" and facial expressions.
