>>301693The character in question is
Bald Foodie Guy, a bald British bloke who makes a habit of buying the greasiest, cheapest, and weirdest food from UK supermarkets just to wolf it down on camera.
The ALDI find:
The guy shows off a two pack of
"Pepperoni Pizza" flavored puff pastries from Crestwood (the own brand line of frozen/chilled pies and pastries sold at the UK discount supermarket ALDI). They cost him £1.65.
The sheer irresponsibility regarding the expiration date:He brazenly admits he bought them a week ago and forgot about them at the back of the fridge. The "Use By" date was September 27th, yet he’s cooking them two whole days past that. He says,
"If I don't upload videos in a few days, you'll know why."The air fryer:The packaging calls for baking at 180°C, but since he’s a lazy bastard, he throws them in his air fryer at 170°C for 11 or 12 minutes. He pulls out a meat thermometer, sticks it in, and sees the center has hit 90°C, so he says,
"This shit is cooked; it's piping hot."The Taste Test (The Bite): He swallows it and confirms his suspicions: it tastes like nothing but puff pastry filled with salty, spiced tomato sauce.
The cheese is nonexistent there are no stretchy pizza style cheese pulls, and the pepperoni is completely undetectable.
The 90s Nostalgia Trip: Looking at the packaging, he notices the Crestwood brand has been around since 1990. That triggers a memory: back in 1990, he was 18 years old, the Italia '90 World Cup was happening, and he was working as an apprentice building Trident nuclear submarines at VSEL.
Final Verdict:He gives it a 5/10, a very generous score out of pity for the puff pastry and concludes that he will never, ever buy that piece of crap again.
