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?

But raw sausage and bacon I cannot get my head around!

Thevelvelletes · 21/06/2024 22:48

Childhood eats a table spoon of golden syrup out the tin.
Swigs of malt vinegar out the bottle.
Once made the mistake of too many table spoons of treacle out the tin.

Jacket potato, halved and served in milk with loads of salt and butter!

Georgethecat1 · 21/06/2024 22:46

Microwave rice with mayo over the top.

Pizza with tomato sauce

Wotsit sandwiches

This will sound quite sane compared to some, but I like a digestive biscuit spread with cream cheese then jam. Its like an instant mini cheesecake.

I also love frazzles dipped in ice cold milk. And chocolate with garlic salt sprinkled on it.

justneedtogetstarted · 21/06/2024 22:46

Spoon of butter, tablespoon of golden syrup, piece of dark choc. Melt in the microwave for 1min. Add cereal-cornflakes or Rice Krispies ideally, but special k will do. Mix together and eat warm. Yum. I will never tell anyone that I have done this!

@AlanAlanAlanAlanAlan

Definitely straight from the foil...although if I crumble one into a recipe and there some on my hands...god I'm gross 🤢

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

my daughters is dry pasta!

Rosenspants · 21/06/2024 22:45

Thickly sliced marzipan off the block….

Pussycat22 · 21/06/2024 22:43

CheshireCat1, bit like jam free Arctic roll !

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

Sure this was mentioned on Tizwas in the '70-early-80s by Lenny Henry, so definitely a thing!

HanaPales · 21/06/2024 22:42

Pasta with loads of butter and a big spoonful of marmite or bovril. Chuck in some cheese and maybe frozen peas if there are some available. Perfect hangover food.

@XenoBitch
Guts of steel here too 😂😂
Never tried raw mince.

CombatLingerie · 21/06/2024 22:41

Some of you must be on drugs to eat that stuff 😂!@XenoBitch like the sound of a pie sandwich. My DF used to make us sausage roll butties when we were kids. Hot sausage roll in a buttered roll lovely! Thanks to PP who mentioned the VG shop that takes me back!

Oh I've done it for years 😁

I like raw sausages too. If I buy any, about a third are eaten when standing in front of the fridge... raw.

I love raw mince too. I always have to buy too much for a recipe to account for my munching.

I buy steak, splash balsamic vinegar on it.. and eat it.

I have a stomach of steel. Had a meal where everyone had food poisoning except me on a few occasions.

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

Pudmyboy · 21/06/2024 22:37

I like a teaspoon of peanut butter, as a lollipop.
Me too @Lemonchord !
Sometimes with a teaspoon of Aldi Nutella, as a very lazy sweet treat!

(Edited as autocorrect didn't recognise Aldi and substituted Also..... random!!)

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.

Absolute filth. Honestly.

You win this competition 👏

Frozen peas straight out of the freezer. Yum

I do this, never thought of it as filthy though! Little peti pois peas are my favourite, love that as they defrost in my mouth the sweet flavour bursts out... delicious!

(Does not work with frozen sprouts, I find)

I love to nibble on an oxo cube.

And also, when I cook sausages I always bite the end off and eat it raw-it's like pate.

We should create a recipe book 😂

Crossed post!

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!

My husband loves sauce sandwiches, I have to tell him that does not constitute à healthy meal. He rotates different sauces.

I like a teaspoon of peanutbutter, as a lollipop.

Peanut butter and cream cheese pushed into ready salted hula hoops 🤤

Grab a packet of McCoy's salt and vinegar crisps and a tub of Mackie's vanilla ice cream. Dip.
