In what can only be described as a true stroke of culinary genius, Iceland has just launched hash browns the size of a plate.
And fans are already absolutely obsessed with them.
Hash browns are an integral part of British cuisine at this point, right? Those little crispy potato creations prove time and time again to be an ideal snack for anyone who finds themselves a bit reliant on fried food to get through a hangover from hell, or merely just to wake up on a lazy Sunday morning.
You may remember a couple of years back that Icleand started selling Heinz’s two new hash brown creations, hash browns filled with Heinz Baked Beanz and hash browns filled with tomato ketchup, at its supermarkets across the UK, and it’s safe to say they’ve been going down a treat ever since, so we can only imagine these new plate-sized variations will be just as well-received.
If the hundreds of comments from hungry shoppers are anything to go by already, it looks like we’re right too.

Instead of being the little triangular or oval-shaped side accompaniments we’ve come to expect from a regular hash brown, Iceland’s Plate Sized Hash Browns are exactly what they say on the tin – hash browns the size of the plate you’ll probably need to serve them on.
Described as being “ridiculously crispy”, these new plate-sized hash browns come in boxes of two, and are suitable for cooking from frozen in either the oven, a pan, or the air fryer.

The best bit? It’ll only set you back £2 for a box, so you won’t need to break the bank either.
Reviews from foodies who’ve already been able to head on down to their nearest Iceland and get their hands on the new potato creation seem to be glowing already, with one fan summing the experience up simply by writing on Iceland’s official Instagram post introducing the new creation that they’re “the stuff of dreams”.
Others have been taking to the comments to share their thoughts and tips on how best to serve them, or give ideas on quirky ways to incorporate them into meals.

“Wrap it in a Yorkshire pudding and you’re sorted,” one person wrote, while another added: “Fill it with the rest of a full breakfast,” and a third commented: “Two of these with crispy smoked bacon sandwiched between. Absolutely delicious”.
Other fans chipped in with suggestions like: “Yummy with bacon, beans, sausage, egg, and brown sauce all on top”, and “I see a hash brown pizza creation in the future.”
The Iceland Plate-Sized Hash Browns are now available across the UK for £2, and you can find the opening times of your local Iceland here.

KFC have launched their own perfume – oh, and a new burger
Danny Jones
Fast food giants KFC have launched their very own perfume in one of the weirdest marketing stunts we’ve seen in a long while.
That being said, we definitely want a bottle.
KFC‘s fried chicken-themed fragrance launches next month and is fashionably named ‘No 11 Eau de BBQ’, a nod to their newest menu item, the Ultimate BBQ Burger, which we also want in our possession as soon as humanly possible.
The franchise’s new signature scent launches in just a week’s time and, yes, you can genuinely buy it along with the new burger for a limited time only.

The UK-only release actually sold out when it came to pre-orders but Brits will be able to get their hands on another batch when the second lot drops on 7 May.
Promising a charcoal and smoky wood-scented aroma that immediately transports you to your mate’s back garden as he turns cheap burger patties into overly blackened dry pucks of meat that you definitely would’ve cooked better if you were in charge, the stunt is also helping raise money for non-profits.
Available in 100ml bottles and for just £11, 100% of the proceeds of every sale will go towards the KFC Foundation, which supports grassroots organisations empowering young people to unleash their potential and build a positive future in local communities across the country.
As for the burger that inspired it, the special edition menu item is a nod to BBQ season gradually approaching and they’ve even made a nod to our famously reliable British weather and its attempts to derail the art of outdoor grilling in a new advert.
KFC perfume and a new burger? Christmas has come well early this year.
The Ultimate BBQ Burger has already launched and will be on the menu until 9 June, priced at £6.49 or £9.99 for a box meal which comes with the burger, a regular mini fillet, regular fries, BBQ sauce and a drink.
And don’t worry, it’ll be available on delivery too — we know we’ve had problems with that when it comes to specials in the past.
As KFC’s No 11 Eau de BBQ perfume, you can wait in the online queue like everyone else HERE and let’s just say you’ll be fighting us and plenty of other Mancs for every last drop.
Wayne Rooney joins the cast of Gary Neville’s The Overlap
Danny Jones
Wayne Rooney has secured a new job just a few months on from departing as Birmingham City head coach, with the Manchester United and England legend being named as the latest member of The Overlap team.
Set to join the cast of the popular Stick to Football online series alongside the likes of former teammates Gary Neville and Roy Keane, as well as the rest of the recurring panel.
Rooney is also set to feature on various other shows across The Overlap channel, including the likes of their regular fan debates and other interviews with athletes and well-known figures.
They announced the signing in true transfer window fashion as well.
As transfer expert Fabrizio Romano quips in the video, Rooney “has signed an agreement with The Overlap” and is expected to make his debut very soon
‘Wazza’ has appeared as a pundit on Sky Sports in recent weeks and has even been spotted playing some FIFA with comedy YouTuber AngryGinge as part of his pro clubs series, but hasn’t been in a steady role since being sacked as the Birmingham manager at the start of the year.
Having already appeared as a guest in one of the most popular episodes of Stick to Football and clearly sharing a strong chemistry with his old friends – as well as the likes of fellow Scouser Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott and Ian Wright – it looks to be a natural fit for the sport-based channel.
The 38-year-old revealed some pretty interesting details about his playing and managerial career last time around, not to mention some of the other offers he’s had since…
Rooney reiterated during his own interview that his primary focus is still on coaching and finding his next managerial role, but for the time being, he’ll be bringing the insight of another ex-pro to the popular YouTube channel.
Speaking on his latest move, the former striker said, “I’m excited to announce that I will be joining my good mate Gary Neville and the team at The Overlap to appear on the channel across some of their brilliant shows on YouTube and the podcast. I can’t wait to get started”.
With an episode from at least one of their series going out most weeks, you can expect to see the footballing legend back on the channel soon.
