Does anyone remember the old pub grub?

Question

I used to love those little packs with a couple of creams crackers, a cheese triangle and a few pickled onions you got in pubs and the minuet steak sandwiches and if you were lucky a toasted cheese sandwich, am I showing my age or does anyone else remember them too.

Thanks heleneaus, yes Steak Canadians not minuet steak, its my age you know.

Answer 1

That sounds cozy and inviting. I remember pickled eggs in jars, and pickled sausages.
Then came frozen pizza for the microwave.
There are still places that have 'pigs in a blanket' and Irish stew and some of the good stuff - but most just have the frozen or pre-made stuff. Plastic people, plastic food.

We had the good old days. People were real and they were your friends...everybody DID know your name! A sense of cozy warm brotherhood. Gone forever, never to return. We were lucky, weren't we?

Answer 2

I used to adore those minute steak sandwiches...pubs called them steak canadian rolls....came in a basket with chips and salad.
I also remember the chicken in a basket meals too. Dont know how old you are but i'm 34 and i remember them.

Answer 3

i'm not sure what you on about i don't like pub food this is because the chef in the kitchen could walk in from an all niter and start serving your dinner without even changing her under wear.i seen one do it so i wonder how many are as lazy and clumze.sorry but i have some realy good meals by the owners of pub cook and serve me,know why because they know i am very very perticular about where me foods coming from

Answer 4

The toasties were grilled in a plastic bag! and the pies warmed in the microwave so the pastry went soggy.
