Iceland has launched potentially its most outrageous food range yet, in partnership with ‘unserious food’ platform Twisted.
The new range of ‘flavour fusions’ sees regular meals jammed together to create new hybrids, in what is basically a Frankenstein experiment for drunk food.
Perhaps the most eye-catching dish of the lot is a lasagne-filled Yorkshire pudding, where layers of meat and pasta are jammed inside a giant frozen Yorkie.
There’s also things like cheeseburger kebabs, meat feast pasta with barbecue sauce, and Hunter’s chicken waffle fries.
The bastardisation of lasagnes continues with a chicken tikka lasagne, which is topped off with Bombay potatoes.

Iceland announced its collaboration with Twisted on social media, writing: “We are delighted to announce our partnership with food-obsessed pioneers @Twisted for this exclusive new range!

“These mouth-watering flavour fusions launch in-store & online at the end of the month.”
The post was also shared by Instagram account NewFoodsUK, where thousands weighed in with their opinions, some saying it looked ‘delicious’ and others that it just looks a bit ‘weird’.
One person said: “Just because they can doesn’t mean they should.”

Another asked: “What the f*ck iceland.”
Someone else joked: “Whoever eats these needs jesus.”
Several people have theories about who developed this recipes – including quite a few asking if Snoop Dogg was a secret partner…
Someone commented: “Must have been developed on a Friday afternoon when all the staff in the NPD test kitchen had been to the pub at lunchtime!”
One person said: “This is the kind of food stoners come up with, but I will be trying the hunters chicken waffle fries nevertheless.”
Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores

Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
