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?

Stale crisp breads
Sausage and egg mcmuffins ate in bed

I've got raw bacon horrors now

This reminds me of ice cream sandwiches too - buttered slice of cheap white bread folded over cheap vanilla ice cream

Now, that sounds nice. It must be like a kind of baked Alaska.

We tried a pukka steak pie in a M&S bread roll once. Delicious. Horrified teenager who walked in the room and caught us. And I do remember feeling really hungry before we had it, which helped.

Particularly love a slice of bread with, marmite, peanut butter and sandwich spread on top.
Can also go for peanut butter on bread with salad cream on top. Yum

Oh and when I go back home, going to the pasty shop
I get a meat and potato pasty on a buttered barm with brown sauce and squash it down a bit before eating

spikeandbuffy · 22/06/2024 02:17

Mines probably not that bad...
Egg mayo on marmite rice cakes
My manager looked green when he saw me eating it

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.

Ooh this has just reminded me of salt and vinegar snack a jacks with a ton of chive flavour cottage cheese, a bit of tajìn seasoning and some packet piri piri/mexican chicken. Plus jalapeños obvs. God I can't wait for lunch tmw 😂

Totallyaddictedtoshoes · 22/06/2024 02:08

Omg I want to try about 75% of the things on here now (except the raw meat!). Mine is wafer thin ham spread really thickly with full fat Philadelphia then rolled up and devoured. Plus curry super noodles with about a quarter of a tub of mayflower curry sauce powder (hot or extra hot, none of that medium rubbish) thrown into the pan with a load of extra water, whisk the life out of it then tuck in to a massive bowl of gelatinous curry flavour carbohydrate heaven (tho you're looking at 10 mins cooking time not 3 mins cos of the sheer amount of extra sauce generated by the curry sauce powder!). Also salt and vinegar squares on bread with a ton of butter. Best sandwich ever. Or if I'm feeling adventurous, a tin of chilli & garlic or jalapeño tuna on brown bread spread with a chilli mayo, topped with some thinly sliced pickles, crispy onion bits, sriracha sauce and candied jalapeños. Can't think why I've put on so much bloody weight recently 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Apple sandwich

Opinionwontchangeluv · 22/06/2024 01:16

Cold chips

TikiTikiBoo · 22/06/2024 01:13

Supernoodle sandwiches, with tons of butter.

Seafood or cocktail sauce on bread & butter or toast.

Buttered toast with an extra sprinkling of salt.

Re: stale wotsits, I once opened a bag and left them to go stale/chewy and it took 11 days.

petermaddog · 22/06/2024 01:07

fresh white bread squish together then dip in cold good ketchup
i think it started craving for salt
been doing since i was about 9

SparklyEyes1 · 22/06/2024 01:01

White bread toasted, spread with margarine and golden syrup. Mmmmmm.

PetsPalace · 22/06/2024 00:52

If you like chewy Wotsits, I recommend adding them to a serving of Heinz chicken soup, probably works with other brands but that was my go to back in the day.
If you're more of a tomato soup kind of person, Mini Cheddars are a good choice, especially the Red Leicester flavour.
I think I might have a crisp problem because another favourite is a tuna mayo sandwich with loads of Salt & Vinegar Chipsticks wedged in there 😄

TooFatToFadeAway · 22/06/2024 00:51

@wineosaurus4 Try doing the same as you do with mini cheddars with prawn crackers. It’s my favourite!!

tartancladpjs · 21/06/2024 21:37

@bossybloss is that not "dangerous"

Mine is tomato sauce sarnies, has to be white bread, no butter.

I totally get the dry noodles, I'm eyeing up a pot noddle now!

I love a hp fruity brown sauce sandwich!
But mine is the complete opposite to yours
Has to be wholemeal seeded bread, has to have butter (not marg) and then the hp brown sauce

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

Was he a Scouser??!!

I’ve never admitted this to anyone… But when I was in my teens and twenties, I liked to get a big bag of Hula Hoops crisps.

I’d take two in my mouth and chew them until they were a mush. Then I’d take the mush out of my mouth and fill a third one with it (this is beyond disgusting, I know). I’d then put the mush-filled Hula Hoop on a plate to let it cool down (cos my saliva and the mush being in my mouth had made it warm) all the while repeating it with the others in the packet. Then when I’d done them all and let them cool, I’d gobble them up.

I have no place on this earth, I know. But honestly I’d do it again. Ha!

Yes! I didn't see this before I posted but this is what I used to love (well, not the leaving on plate but... That's a step too far)

wineosaurus4 · 21/06/2024 22:26

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

This has reminded me that I used to love chewed up bbq hula hoops squidged inside the hole of a whole hula hoop. Delicious

loropianalover · 22/06/2024 00:34

I dip my McD’s cheeseburger into my McFlurry. I just love the pickle and onion mixing with the sweetness of the ice cream.

I also find that nibbling on dry Weetabix always helps me if I’ve got a stomach ache/nausea.

Scraping all the brown roast chicken goo from the roasting tin and eating it off the spoon 😋

Mmmmm, me too

OriginalFloorboards · 22/06/2024 00:20

Horlicks powder straight from the jar. I know, it’s bad.

I used to love the Horlicks sweets in the 80s if anyone remembers them.

Toast topped with a slice of pineapple and then a slice of dairylea, grilled and eaten when cheese all gooey

That sounds surprisingly nice

chairsaregreen · 22/06/2024 00:09

Buttered pizza.

Some of these are very inspiring!
