Filthy food habit… and what’s yours?

Not talking Biscoff straight from the jar here… its so low-level I’m compelled to post (with NC) so to expose the guilt/be shamed out of it.

Maggi noodles eaten dry, from the packet, with the seasoning sprinkled into them. Preferably chow mein flavour. But eaten in bed. Last night the flavouring went on my sheets which may or may not have been a turning point.

What’s your secret filthy food habit?

Chocolate biscuits generously over spread with Nutella on top with cup of tea. Mayo on sourdough bread with avocado on top. Uncooked smoked kipper ( from kipper & butter pack) with boiled baby potatoes on a side.

Cheapest noodles. With cheese and thick gravy. And some bread. Becomes a thick slop

Cold spaghetti with mayonnaise and soy sauce. Crushed raw garlic can be added if desired.

microwave noodles then a slice of fake cheese stirred into it makes it like cheese pasta sauce vaguely and it's yummy.

Raw bacon 🥓

😢🤑

Entire packet of bright orange cheese slices.

EngineStartStop · 07/10/2024 01:02

Full double pack of Laughing Cow cheese triangles, one at at a time, no accompaniment.

DM buys the awful square reformed ham... takes a slice and makes it into a cone shape... then fills it with vinegar. Then she posts it into her mouth.

Ham with balsamic vinegar is next level!

A mixture of cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter. Add salt to taste, or dip salted pretzels in it. Inspired by my favourite PB ice cream

I eat raw bacon. Yep - I know it's highly dangerous, but I've been doing it for about 30 years and I'm still here to tell the tale!

My dad also used to sprinkle sugar on ham!..

It's totally normal to eat it raw in France. It might be a different cut or cured differently or something.

Eating processed peas cold from the tin.

Yesterday in Asda there was a guy sat by the checkouts eating a tinned marrowfat pea sandwich and I actually felt a bit gutted I hadn't thought of that already.

Packet of cheese and onion crisps with extra salt sprinkled in. Big hunk of cheese (not good cheese, cheap mousetrap from the fridge). Bite chunks of the cheese and shovel the salty crisps in at the same time.

Your honesty is admirable..."mousetrap cheese"...😂

Heinz Sandwich Spread. Every now and then I buy a jar and make a complete pig of myself - with the sliced white bread we never have otherwise.

Occasionally I do ditto with Dairylea cheese spread - which goes back to so rarely having it as a child, when at a GM’s house for tea. My DM would never buy it.

StuckHurtDone · 04/07/2024 17:04

Cheerios and hot custard!! Not too much custard just enough to cover them so they go melty and stringy. Wish I had some custard now so I can eat it for dinner

Oh well ...
Packets and packets of Extra strong mints, to the point of replacing meals.
Not overweight and not diabetic, but aware it's bonkers.
😬

That was my pregnancy craving many years ago!

Now and then when I really CBA to cook, dh and I will have a Fray Bentos tinned pie each, just with frozen peas.

Which reminds me, we used the last two a while ago, must replace.

This reminds me of a dear,late friend who loved a Fray Bentos pie. She was convinced that it had its own emoji - until I pointed out that it was for a bento box. She still sent me that emoji when she'd had a Fray Bentos pie though. 🤣 🍱

@CoffeeCantata 😂 spooning Nutella is about the least shameful thing on this thread. Go for it!

Ooh - that takes me back! Delicious.

CoffeeCantata · 29/06/2024 14:21

MIne is utterly shameful, OP. I cannot be trusted with a pot of Nutella in the house, so it's only there if someone else buys it. If I find it (I beg them to hide it) I get a teaspoon and I just eat the lot.

I'm aware it's largely sugar and that chocolate and hazelnuts are only nominally there, but I just cannot resist it.

Please tell me it’s the tube and not individual smarties…

Show quote history

Nope, individual smarties 😁

Janehasamane · 29/06/2024 11:58

HildaOgdensMurielle · 28/06/2024 22:47

I just remembered I also tuck smarties between my boobs to get them to the perfect amount of meltyness (also has the advantage of taking an age to eat a reasonable portion rather than my other method of pouring the tube straight into my mouth).

Please tell me it’s the tube and not individual smarties…

WhySoManySocks · 29/06/2024 11:26

I dip salted peanuts in more salt.

WhySoManySocks · 29/06/2024 11:25

With complete predictability threads like this contain really funny “naughty” habits, like tucking smarties between boobs (!) and waiting for your crisps to go stale (!!??), and then some perfectly normal things presented as “terribly naughty” by the disordered eaters of MN, eg “sometimes.. I eat a sandwich!!”. So boring.

Love a Fray Bentos! I'm a steak and kidney girl all the way.

I bought one in my food shop today!

Pre-made thin pancakes from the dessert section, heated up in the microwave and smothered with tomato ketchup!
