this reminds me, in the industrial park of my village there used to be a company that made curry sauces for ready meals and you could always tell when it was garlic day cos everything in about a 100 yard radius smelled of garlic
loved that

It's horseshoe theory, because he defines the working class in a way that dovetails neatly with the rights increasingly ethnonationalist reactionary definition of "true Brits", he earns a hearing in a way no one who recognises the working class within multi-ethnic office/healthcare etc jobs gets

Lol I just remembered they *do* exist, but in the 20th century Indian tradition of instant noodles popularised by Maggi etc, so "dry" (like Indomie of Indonesia) and not with a soup base like in Japan

Now I'm thinking of this, how does tikka masala ramen/noodles not already exist

Family Mart/Lawson/7-Eleven would do so well here, apart from the fact Tesco express/Sainsbury's local etc already exist, but I don't think that market is saturated

Hear me out, 7&I holdings (Japan) should either finally start opening 7-Eleven konbini in the UK, or partner with UK supermarkets to make Konbini food
Give us the tikka masala or chilli paneer onigiri within walking distance you cowards

"The meal deal is good actually and if it came with Onigiri and green tea and a jingle then Americans would go wild for it in the same way they do Japanese konbini" is possibly my hottest food take lol

This reminds me of how the French upmarket frozen food brand Picard has made multiple attempts to break into the UK market and always seems to give up. The UK looks down on fridge temp ready meals but looks down on frozen food even more, even though Picard was *a fancy French import*

The stuff about salary sacrifice on bikes will have polarised some into buying asap and probably still more into freezing decisions, and the EV tax changes have almost certainly hit EV sales and the EV transition

Difficult to quantify but long drawn out pitch rolling and trial ballooning almost certainly imposes costs as consumers and businesses either try to outrun policy moves or freeze decision making in the fiscal equivalent of a turtles defensive crouch until the chancellor appears at the dispatch box
