Popular Post phetphet Posted May 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2023 Was browsing around Tops today. In a chilled cabinet, I saw they had several quiche cut into 6 pieces at THB 290 / slice. That's THB1,740 for a whole one, which equates to almost £42!! I know prices have increased, but £42 for what is basically an egg and bacon pie! Am I out of touch to be shocked at such a price? 3 2 1 6 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MartinL Posted May 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2023 'Egg and bacon pie' is what we often had for school dinners in the 1960s. "Not bacon and egg pie AGAIN!!" ???? Whoever would have thought that humble meal would morph into something so posh! 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a regular at my Tops (FH), and they refunded me. Taste-wise it's very bland. Much better to make it yourself, and it's not difficult. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versions differed from school to school, of course, but as a 60's schoolboy too, I might if I may, smugly boast that my school did the bacon & egg flan thing...but they mercifully raised its taste appeal by some considerable magnitude with the addition of a crusted cheese topping. Made all the difference. ???????? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
