Things you eat from the packet/pot that you shouldn't?

Nutella is the obvious one, straight from the spoon but my sil just called me weird for eating coleslaw straight from the pot.

Am I the only one who does that? Is there anything else that is best straight from the pot.

Oxo cubes (beef) for savoury tooth!

Frozen peas. Forgot about them. Love them!

Horlicks powder

Ambrosia custard
Tinned fruit
Not together!

Tomato puree, I've been known to buy it to eat it out of the tin. Funnily enough I hate ketchup and most tomato products. Also dried tortellini. And spreadable cheese.

NotquitewhatImeant · 18/10/2019 19:00

Yy to dried tortellini (the four cheese one yum)
Stock cubes
Random cheese off pizza
Horlicks

Once sat opposite a man in a suit on tube who ate whole tub of coleslaw with his fingers, kept licking them too. Grim.

Old el paso refried beans. I may or may not buy an extra tin occasionally to just scarf when I'm ravenous after a night shift.

Custard, baked beans and rice pudding all straight from the tin with a spoon

Grated cheese straight from the packet, just a pinch while I'm making sandwiches or wraps etc

Beetroot and mint dip by the spoonful. I ate an entire tub of it in a day once accidentally by just pinching a couple of spoonfuls every time I opened the fridge.

Frozen petit pois by the handful (almost better frozen than cooked)

I'm also partial to raw broccoli but it disagrees with me in a big way so I tend to steer clear of it now (I could eat a whole one cooked quite happily stalk and all)

ItsClemFandangoCanYouHearMe · 18/10/2019 19:03

Salsa

Firstaidnovice · 18/10/2019 19:05

I haven't done it for about twenty years, but raw supernoodles. Incredibly savage.

I also one got caught by my mum as quite a young child eating mincemeat direct from the jar

Crisps. They are definitely better out of the packet rather than putting into a saucepan.

WideOpenFields · 18/10/2019 19:16

Evaporated milk! I swig it from the tin.
Condensed milk.

MsMustDoBetter · 18/10/2019 19:17

Gherkins
Cream cheese

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 18/10/2019 19:20

I’ve been known to eat lemon curd with a spoon!

DH eats horseradish by the spoonful, weirdo that he is 🤮

PrincessSarene · 18/10/2019 19:20

Heinz macaroni cheese 😳 (and I don’t even like it warm! Buy it for my DD but always scoff a bit while I’m getting it ready for her!)

SamBeckett · 18/10/2019 19:21

Crom the cupboard;
Baked beans
Corn
Peanut butter
Marmite
Lime marmalade
Pickles/ gerkins

From the fridge
Any cheese daft enough to make it's self visible
Coleslaw
Any leftovers
Peppers ( I eat them like a apple when the fancy takes me )

SamBeckett · 18/10/2019 19:21

from the cupboard 🙄

LocksMyth · 18/10/2019 19:23

Ambrosia Custard

Crochetymum · 18/10/2019 20:01

Custard , coleslaw, potato salad , ice-cream, crunchy but, ANY cheese, cut up in blocks. Mash from the pan before I put it on the plates.☺️

Crochetymum · 18/10/2019 20:02

And yes to the condensed milk, I can't have that in my house, it's lethal!

GingerFoxInAT0phat · 18/10/2019 20:11

I’ve bought a tin of condensed milk today to have a few sneaky swigs of, but I have caught ds’s stomach bug and can only imagine what would be coming out of me later.

Ilovemyshoppingtrolley · 18/10/2019 20:16

Heinz tomato soup!

ChanChanChan · 18/10/2019 20:16

Ham, whilst standing in the doorway of the open fridge. Tastes better like that.

Coleslaw
Marmite
Hummus
Cheese - especially Stilton
