Is Iceland Food Chav Cusine?
Have you seen the sort of crap they are doing now!
Prawns that come on their own spoons, is that meant to be some sort of chavvy amuse bouche? Not to mention their 75 piece platters for £5 which works out at just over 6.5p per item. My good God! ![]() "Hello would you like a 6p sweet & sour money bag. vegetable spring rolls or prawn toast?" |

Not everyone on a low budget is a chav ! When I pass iceland there always seems to be a high percentage of pensioners in there and I don't for a minute think they would be described as chavs

With the pension rates paid in UK they don't have much choice but to choose cheap food. The point being why are you looking down on people who have little money so choose to shop in iceland ?

I would rather lick the bottom of a tramp's ageing sandals than be seen dead in Iceland. Have you seen the 'Chocolate Covered Strawberries"?. Christ, can you imagine breaking through the cheap chocolate substitute coating and sinking your teeth in to the stale old strawberry inside? URGH. Absolutely ghastly and if they likes of Kerry Ketamine Katona and bloody Coleen "I really have lost weight, HONESTLY" Nolan are associated with the establishment it just makes me turn to trusty old Tesco (and its more civilised clientele) even more.

I have to admit I wouldn't shop in Iceland if you paid me. I'm not sure that anything actually resembling food (animal, vegetable or mineral) has ever been in the same room as the crap they sell, let alone the same recipe!

Don't like the word chav.Iceland food is cheap. I should imagine that families struggling on very low incomes feel a bit ill every time they see that Marks and Spencers 'Dinner for two for £10' offer. Though I do have to admit that selling a box of plastic spoons with one prawn and a blob of pink salad cream on each is bizarre in the extreme. |

I enjoy Iceland food. The £1 and £1.75 microwave meals are quite nice. In this economic climate, some people like myself can't afford luxuries like Tesco Finest brands or wine and dine in fancy restaurants.

LOL ![]() Chocolate, biscuit, marshmallows, raisins. Actually ignore my first statement and answer me what the hell is in rocky road that you can't just make some yourself at home out of ingredients. |

I hate the notion that it is 'cheaper' to live on ready-meals and processed food. It's utter rubbish. Sorry. |

Well they must appeal to a good proportion of society, profits are definitely on the up.

The only chav thing about Iceland is who they hired to do their TV ads.

However skint I was, I still wouldn't buy their "food". I do like their prices on Galaxy hot chocolate and the Irish cream liqueur, though. Neither of which are made by Iceland.
