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?

White bread spread thickly with heinz burger sauce. It MUST be heinz.

As a student I loved Ambrosia creamed rice on toast. I so want some now (but can't get Ambrosia where I am).

Incidentally, here and in some other countries what is basically bacon (back bacon minus the rind) is routinely eaten raw. Love it

Sourdough bread sandwich with mayonnaise and balsamic glaze

Oh well ...
Packets and packets of Extra strong mints, to the point of replacing meals.

When I’m unwell, my comfort food is a packet of microwave rice, a few chunks of corned beef, and instant gravy mixed up in a bowl with plenty of black pepper. It’s filthy, but sometimes needs must.

In the nicest way possible, thinking of that made me feel unwell😂

Marmite and banana sandwiches on cheap white bread. Used to seem really strange but now the make marmite peanut butter not so much.

Crispy bacon bits and mashed banana on toast used to be another favourite.

I get a tin of sweet sweetcorn, a jar of pickled onions and a big pack of hula hoops. One mouthful = big fork of sweetcorn, 2 pickled onions and 3 hula hoops is the perfect combination (having experimented many times).

Oh, forgot cooked piklets, still hot, dipped in piklet batter.

k1233 · 22/06/2024 07:06

Um oh.

For the buttered Weetabix try butter topped with golden syrup. Mix it together on the Weetabix to be a bit caramelly. Used to do that as a kid.

I'm rather fond of a good camembert or brie with plain salted crisps and quince paste. Occasionally add salami or pepperoni.

Also rather partial to day old macaroni and cheese with tomato sauce.

Dessert - try an nice ice cream, smashed up tim tams and crumbled flake all smooshed together.

I also rather like soggy / stale fruit tingles - so much better soft than crunchy.

Another thing I loved as a kid was the boiled fruit for a fruit cake when it had the butter and baking soda.

tinned macaroni cheese. I am sorry.

I like that too
with black pepper

Mumof2girls2121 · 22/06/2024 06:36

when I first left home, I used to eat scrambled egg and pickled red cabbage together as a meal 😂

Toasted white bread, salad cream and Dairylea cheese slices.

Sadly I can’t indulge in food filth anymore due to having GORD 😢 (and reading the vinegar based snacks make me wince!).

just before I started with symptoms I lived cheesy quavers and Diet Coke together - no dipping - but was a great taste combination!

I also liked cold baked beans/tinned spaghetti in tomato sauce

As a kid I loved
cheese crumbled into crisps
raw spaghetti
buttered weetabix
grated carrot and grated cheese mixed together (still love this but it’s not filthy!)

I like to suck the vinegar out of pickled onions.
Swigs of malt vinegar.mmmmm

Tin of peas, just take the lid off, add some tomato, or brown, or chilli sauce.

Stir, eat cold, from the tin, no washing up and plenty of fibre, apparently..

My finest creation yet however, remains the Bread and Butter Pudding Toastie you win - I’m so trying that today! 😃

My Grandad talked fondly of 'coni-oni' butties in his youth - thick slice pf bread with condensed tinned milk!

My Nan used to make chocolate spread by mixing hot chocolate with condensed milk!

Fish finger and waffle sandwiches with melted cheese on and Ketchup

Or fish finger & bacon sandwiches (surf and turf 😂)

Oh my gosh 2 x chewed mini cheddars put in between 2 normal cheddars and eaten like a sandwich 🥪😳

I thought I was the only disgusting bastard to do that!

See also:

Crunchy Nut Cornflakes... served with cream, not milk. Not milk AND cream. Just cream.

Deep fried chunks of tinned croissant dough, rolled in sugar. Makes enough to serve 6 at least. Is consumed by the two of us, til we feel very very sick.

This week... we got Krispy Kreme plain glazed rings... and stuck them on the waffle iron. They come out caramelized and crunchy on the outside. Heaven.

Other adventures with the Breville 3 in 1 include the Panini'd Cheeseburger (make a cheeseburger on a brioche bun, no salad obvs, hot salad is gross, pop it in the panini maker, goes all crunchy on the outside, soft and cheeseburgery in the middle.

My finest creation yet however, remains the Bread and Butter Pudding Toastie..

White bread - sultanas and shredded bread, cinnamon, custard filling - in the toastie maker and then dredge with cinnamon sugar when it comes out. chefs kiss

I am also partial to a potato salad and salami sandwich made on hot buttered toast. Crunchy and soft, creamy and salty, hot and cold - delicious, but messy.

Eating coffee beans like they're peanuts. I go through phases of it.
