Has anyone had one of these? Let me explain. There are some food manufacturing companies who, for a reason which has never been forthcoming, have decided to produce what they describe as an "All Day Breakfast".

This product comes in a tin and is made by organisation that I've certainly not heard of such as 'Goblin' and 'Primrose'. I understand that, when after opening said tin, one is supposed to scrape the contents into a frying pan to cook. I have attempted such a procedure, but have become bogged down when the said contents refuse to fall out of the tin voluntarily and have to be forced out with a giant spoon.

The contents themselves look most inedible being a multi-coloured mixture of gray, brown and yellow gloop. I took the unusual course and forgo the frying routine and instead took the bold step and microwaved the glutenous mass.

I have to admit that, as my expectations were not high, I can report that this alleged food was barely fit for human consumption. To call it rank and disgusting would be an injustice to all that is vile. It was quite simply revolting!! I never never wish to consume something that foul again!

Have you been pooing constantly since?

No. This product had the opposite effect on me. It caused me to be constipated for days afterwards.

Well, at least you know what to cook when Les comes round.

"I was in the supermarket, Les; I saw this and thought of you, darling."

Goblin and another label, Newforge, have made such..comestibles for over 30 years.

I remember being on holiday with parents and grandparents in 1977 when we had a tin of Goblin's Irish stew from the camp shop. We had never heard of the brand- but it was all they had.

As we opened the tin, at least a quarter of the product appeared to be loose water , with a mash of the ingredients at the bottom. It was cheap- but very fatty and highly spiced/seasoned. Ask yourself why.

Were they connected to Tyne Brand or Yeoman?

When you consider the sheer vastness of Les you know "she's" consumed more than "her" fair share of Goblin's All Day Breakfast's.

Yeah but just think what she'd be 'goblin' an hour later!

There's another brand that I've not heard of before called 'Archer's'.

A good brewery in Swindon. But not them in this instance, I would say.

Yes goblin have been going a long long time. There was also a brand
called tom piper that my grandad used to like - have you heard of that?
Also at our local shop there are many different versions of casserole
/stew in a tin (mutton, beef, sausage etc)

Think it's this awful type of gloopy mess I saw as a kid that
has put me off anything called stew or casserole for life
