There's a Facebook group rating meal deals - and people are taking it WAY too seriously

This Facebook group proves there's a secret food critic buried in each and every one of us 

 

Do these flavours all go together?

No matter how obscure your hobby or passion, there's probably an online community dedicated to discussing it in its minutiae.
This is where Facebook really comes in to its own. But forget secret cat appreciation societies or gangs of people who REALLY love the cold side of the pillow - they're old news.
No, one Facebook group has drawn a lot of attention because of its ingenious topic: Supermarket meal deals.
Not the fancy ones where they throw in a bottle of wine and some pudding. We're talking about the classic sandwich + soft drink + crisps / chocolate bar combination.

And people are taking it VERY seriously (as they should be).

The brains behind the Meal Deal Talk group is dedicated sandwich-lover Theo Edwards, who told the Telegraph :
"I started it on Friday, July 9 and it was really just a spontaneous moment. I was sat at home on Facebook after I just purchased my usual Boots Meal Deal.

The Sainsbury's meal deal

"I realised I wanted to try new meals but was stuck for ideas and then the idea hit me.

Tell us what YOU think is the best meal deal in the comments below
"I wanted to create a group where members could post their own meals to influence others into trying something new. So that's what I did, and here we are!"

The Tesco meal deal

"Here we are" is currently over 20,000 members.

Not bad for a month's work - he's clearly tapped in to something. Just take a look.
And for those who think "how much is there to be said?" about supermarket meal deals, the answer is "loads".

Members of the group are discussing details about flavour combinations, proving there's a gourmande buried in each of us.

Let's take a leaf out of this Twitter user's book.

It's making us feel hungry .
The detail this member goes in to would make a food critic weep.

And Theo's favourite meal deal?

"My favourite Meal Deal is a Boots Chicken & Bacon, Chicken Salad and Chicken & Stuffing Triple sandwich, with a Blue Machine Naked Smoothie and McCoys Grilled Steak crisps. (£3.29)."
Happy lunchtime, everyone!
