I've noticed this advert seems to be on quite regularly and he enthuses greatly about their tasty grub but does he actually have their goodies delivered to his country pile I wonder?
You can have a sample of seven of these culinary delights for only £19.95 and then as an example they show you two sausages on a plate with a bit of mash and some peas Sad

These so called 'celebrity' endorsements really get on my thruppeny bits, it's not as if they need the cash. Even Harvey Keitel is at it promoting Direct Line insurance ffs. He must be absolutely minted and don't get me started on Michaeal "you get a free pen just for enquiring"Parkinson and that hideous troll Cilla Black.

Peter Andre is the current one that cheeses me off, how can he be so enthusiastic about a 99p pizza?,no doubt he never sets foot in Iceland never mind shops there,handy few bob for him but totally lacking in ethics.

In his case I'm not so sure, I expect he did the ads in return for the food he was holding in them.

A 99p pizza, what the hell is it made of?
Yes good shout pa lapsy but I feel Ken might be right with the 'will work for food' analogy.

Ken, that's very unfair of you to poke fun at a very attractive, talented actress like Letitia Dean. It has been well documented that she is only that size and shape because of a thyroid condition and nothing to do with eating too many jam doughnuts and Big Mac meals. Shame on you.
Report pa lapsy October 20, 2014 1:13 PM BST
I,m not sure Slippy,think he does 99p chips as well and i,d be fairly sure that they are made of potatoes,the pizza picture conjures up some shocking images.
Ignorant with the "will work for food" analogy.
Wasn,t Jamie Olivers wife caught shopping in Waitrose while himself was plastered all over the telly promoting Sainsburys?
Back to Wiltshire think the idea isn't that bad for oldies that are a bit phucked,the dinners themselves though remind me of a community based project when i was a smallie called the "penny dinners"

Great thread, Slippy!

I always think the same when I see the Wiltshire Farm Foods ad.

I can't believe anyone would waste their money on these meals.

And don't get me started on Len Goodman and those Farmfoods ads he does

Are we really expected to believe that he sits down to a Bernard Matthews Turkey Breast Roast on a Sunday? Crazy

@ G2D,don't know why i mentioned it,think it was Slippys description of Ronnies finest culinary delight. Memory playing tricks with me,always thought it was on the other side of Sheares St. Surprised to find the place is still going strong and busier than ever,never knew it originated from a soup kitchen. "Meals on Wheels" is probably way more apt where the elderly are given a hot meal delivered to them,a good thing in this age.
Apologies for going off topic.

"Wiltshire Farm Foods"......

"It let's us live life to the full". Fekking rubbish!

If you can't be arsed to cook for yourselves, just stock up on supermarket chilled meals, which I would
speculate are better and more diverse. I mean do they do "Chicken Tikka Masala" for instance?
