Ready made products that bear very little resemblance to the home made equivalent

Not gravy, obviously.

Here’s the thing about this thread: I decided yesterday that I was going to make it, based on some real life inspiration, but now I cannot for the life of me remember what inspired it.

Cars?

Doors

Yorkshire puddings. Homemade puff up and go big and awesome, Bessie’s are like ice hockey pucks

This is really bothering me now.

Carbonara (assuming you’re not home-making it like a complete twat)

EDIT: All* ready-made pasta dishes are fucking appalling. The very worst type of ready meal

*Excluding Charlie Bigham’s ofc
