'Boring' plain food that's actually really good

Doing the supermarket shop the other week, saw a huge display of cornflakes and immediately really fancied some. Have really been enjoying them as a snack (not filling enough for breakfast!) with creamy oat milk.

Plain bread and butter can also be delicious. Must be salted butter though.

What other really 'boring' foods can you not get enough of?

Almond butter with sliced banana on toast

Not sure I can allow that one. Delicious, yes absolutely. Boring? I think almond butter is still a bit too new and hipster to be considered boring!

I love plain rice from those microwave pouches with a bit of soy sauce.

Yy to jelly! Got into that in the summer when I had gestational diabetes. Red jelly with a layer of double cream on top. Yum.

And yes a perfectly cooked jacket potato needs nothing more than some salt, pepper and a fuckton of butter Smile
