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?

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.

A meat and potato pie or pasty on a bread roll/barm cake is known as a Wigan kebab.
I feel "reet bye gum" Northern having written this !
And there's corned beef hash, known in Wigan as "Lobbies" (with a shortcrust pastry lid)

Edited

Don't forget the pea wet!

Oh, that sounds great!
Like the chocolate cornflake cakes many of us made as a kid.

Marks and Spencers used to make a crunchy chocolate cornflake uhhh cake!? It was cut into slices like a pizza. Flat. Delicious.

Salty McDonald's fries x3 dipped into strawberry milkshake.

If you like Wotsits with yoghurt, try Wotsits with cottage cheese. You'll never look back. Ever.

See also Twiglets dunked in Philadelphia. The combination of creamy, crunchy and salty is just perfection.

I have definitely buttered wotsits in a previous life. Not done it for years

Cheap supermarket chocolate melted and cornflakes added to the chocolate. Basically chocolate crispy cake mix but not put in the fridge to mould. Just eat it in the bowl. Yum.

White thick sliced warburtons, lashings of country life spread and 2 tubs of cress.

my daughters is dry pasta!

The cress thing sounds amazing. I'd never realised you could have 2 tubs of cress in one go. I thought the law was a few snips at a time.

I bet it would be nicer with really gourmet salted butter.

KateofGhent · 28/06/2024 22:50

A spinach sandwich, without bread. Fresh spinach leaves with a thin slice of cheddar cheese in the centre, bliss !

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).

Curlygirl06 · 28/06/2024 22:45

Many of these I've either eaten or potentially could eat.
However, try scooping clotted cream onto a shortbread finger, I once ate a whole tub of cream like that, bloody lovely!

WiddlinDiddlin · 28/06/2024 22:41

Latest in our 'Will it Panini - The Flattening Adventures'...

Two thin crumpets, not yet cooked - butter them and then spread with Seriously Strong Cheddar spread, thickly, do not stint here. Then a smear of spicy mayo, chuck on any ham, salami, whatever it is you want... Sandwich them together, tops inward and cook on the Panini press..

Crispy on the outside, soft and fabulously cheesey inside without it dripping everywhere/anywhere as the magical crumpet holes absorb all the cheeseyness.

I think I;ll have another for supper.

GoodHeavens99 · 28/06/2024 22:35

I like taramasalata on crumpets. 👌🏼

I like opening a bag of wotsits and letting the air get to them for a bit so they go sort of like stale and chewy. I also like flat fizzy drinks. So if I ever have a bottle of coke or whatever, I’ll shake it up and wait for it to settle so it goes really flat and then drink it like it’s squash. I am perfectly aware that I’m a wrong’un. 😂😂

You really REALLY are a wrong’un!

mine was chippy chips with mushy peas, gravy, curry sauce and mayo in white bread with marg (never ever butter)-

but the other day I had a maccys double sausage and egg McMuffin with extra cheese, extra sausage patty and 2 hash browns, and it was possibly the best 20 minutes of my life thus far.

A big glass of flat full fat coke.

I do the same but I spread English mustard on the pastrami first. It's a taste explosion.

Not me, but heard about this from someone else today.

They remove the noodles from a pot of chicken & mushroom Pot Noodle, put a small pork pie in the container... put the noodles back in, and and make it up as normal.

This may win 🤢

One of my friends recently gave birth to her DS and her craving was chilled cola bottle sweets dipped in mayo.

I tried it out in curiosity and I can understand why she loved them.

C1N1C · 28/06/2024 13:59

Stale marshmallows so they're seriously chewy!

It doesn't work for all brands, but Haribo Chamallows work well... Open them, spread them out on the table, come back in a week or two... soooo good!

Aaagh , no. Don't eat raw sausage. Pork needs to be cooked Trichinosis is a food-borne disease caused by a microscopic parasite called Trichinella. People can get this disease by eating raw or undercooked meat from animals infected with the parasite.

I recently had steak tartare, if you like raw mince you should try it

Oh god no! I don't eat meat but my son does & I want to puke thinking of this!

*disclaimer I've eaten raw jelly, my auntie ate muck whilst pregnant & finally my mam ate coal whilst pregnant with me (also I ate part of a firelighter when I was a toddler apparently!) so no judgment!

Hot buttered toast dipped in cold milk.

A friend owns a cafe/restaurant in Greece that is aimed at holiday makers.

She said a couple came in one day for breakfast and asked if the child could have Coco Pops in Coke rather than in milk!!!!
