'Boring' plain food that's actually really good

[DuggeesWoggle]

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?

This is a bitter appreciation thread in disguise

Baked potato with butter and salt
Pasta with salted butter
Baguette with salted butter
Cream crackers with butter!

These threads are what make me never stop eating 🙄😂

I'm now going to get some apple and cheese.

That’s cause flora Marg is crap!

Dippy eggs with marmite soldiers

Crusty bread, butter, ham
Granary bread, butter, cold roast chicken, sliced tomato, salt

Beans on toast with cheese on top!

Chips with grated cheese ...

Also cornflakes. I don’t normally buy them, but I had a sudden urge and they were so good. I’d forgotten how much I like them.

jacket potatoes, I could have them everyday.

Mash
Mars bar I went for a run with a friend and after I felt a bit weird and shaky afterwards so she gave me a mini mars bar. It was delicious.

Recently started baking my own bread and rolls I will never buy a loaf from the shop again!
Also love couscous.

Ploughman’s lunch
Rice pudding
Consommé
Cucumber sandwiches
Tomatoes sprinkled with salt
A nice tart, crisp apple

Oh and sliced tomatoes on toast with salt and pepper!

A bowl of plain steamed jasmine rice topped with a fried egg and soy sauce. If I have it I also add chopped spring onions or chives

Yes to bread and (salted) butter, especially if its crusty bread!

Also nice potato croquettes, vanilla ice cream and toast made by somebody else - no idea why but it always tastes nicer.

Home baked focaccia and olive oil, so simple to make but delicious.

Cheese omlette
Sardines on toast
Tinned tomato on toast
Egg on toast
Sausage sandwich
Bacon sandwich

Cornflakes with double cream

Omelette, cheese on toast, toast with butter, Frosties with milk.

Ooh and egg on toast - scrambled or poached or even boiled with soldiers!

slice of Victoria sponge
Peanut butter (and butter) (and marmite) on granary toast
Dark ryvita slathered with cool creamy Philadelphia
a ripe pear

Porridge with maple syrup and cinnamon

Crackers and butter - especially light crackers like water biscuits

Marmite on toast for me at the moment, I’m sometimes having 4 slices at a time [embarrassed] which isn’t like me.

“Toasted Crumpets with lots of butter” ya bugger these are also lush with marmite

Instant mash with butter and...Yep you guessed it marmite 😂

Chucky eggs - boiled eggs mashed up in a mug with butter, what mum gave us when we were ill.

Cheese on toast (which I can’t make at the moment as current cooker doesn’t have a grill far as I can tell 😢 ideally you need an eye level grill for this)

“Tomatoes sprinkled with salt” yes! I don’t know anyone else who does this! When we had picnics as kids boiled eggs and halved tomatoes were part of the feast, mum had a little tupperware salt shaker for picnics and we’d salt the eggs and tomatoes. Sounds weird but it actually makes the tomatoes taste sweeter?

“Crackers and butter - especially light crackers like water biscuits” try rich tea or digestive biscuits spread generously with butter 2 at a time sandwiched

Steamed cabbage with salty butter.

Two rich tea biscuits sandwiched together with butter and a glass of ice cold milk.

• Hot potato cakes with salted butter
• Pasta with cheesy beans (don't knock it until you try it)
• chocolate hobnobs and a cuppa
