I love ready salted crisps... You can keep your fancy flavours - I'm a simple woman 😂

What underrated foods do you love?

Mashed potatoes with salad cream on top is luscious.

Banana sandwich

StealthPolarBear · 08/01/2020 19:04

Omelette
Seem as a quick tea which it is but they're so delicious. Mushroom and cheese mmm and a bit of tenderatem broccoli

@AgeLikeWine DH's guilty pleasure is tinned Heinz macaroni cheese on toast. For when beans on to east AND ravioli on toast are too middle class Wink

Mrsjayy · 08/01/2020 19:13

Heinz macaroni doesn't taste the same as it used to i had some on toast recently and it wasn't as nice as i remember I think they took all the salt out 😁

Potato waffles done in the toaster slapped onto buttered bread

A well done jacket potato with lots of butter and salt

Add that to my list as well, but with cheese and coleslaw

Sandsnake · 08/01/2020 19:18

I agree with ready salted crisps, aubergine, broccoli and cauliflower. All definitely underrated.

I add all cereal (with milk, obviously) - even the healthy ones. And coriander, which is wonderful.

Binterested · 08/01/2020 19:21

Agree with prunes.

Also a really good Cox apple. Like a burst of spring in Autumn.

And just to redress the balance - malt loaf with thick butter so you get tooth marks.

Bobbiepin · 08/01/2020 19:22

Can't believe no one has said a Mars bar. The most underrated chocolate bar.

FrankiesKnuckle · 08/01/2020 19:25

My homemade cottage pie.
Even better is cold leftover cottage pie in a sandwich.

Pease pudding on toast.

A plate of ham, egg and chips.

A really good margherita pizza cannot be beaten by anything with toppings IMO.

Lindylooboo · 08/01/2020 19:29

A cheese sandwich on white bread with a lot of butter.

CaptainPovey · 08/01/2020 19:34

Runner beans from the garden, cooked and doused in butter in a sandwich of proper white bread. None of your plastic shite

My old Dad used to grow his own and we all loved this

SpaceDinosaur · 08/01/2020 19:36

My people!!! 😂

Buttered white toast

I also love tomato sandwiches. Proper butter, soft white bread, salt OR ready salted crisps...

Heinz tomato soup 😳 I know it's pretty shit but I love it so much!

Plain foods are so underrated. Lump of cheese and a couple of carrots is a great lunch!

Crispy baked potato with nothing but butter 🧈

RhodaCamel · 08/01/2020 19:36

Chip buttie - on white bread with butter and tomato ketchup
Fish finger sandwich - as above
Toast and thick butter
Dippy egg and soldiers
White bread lettuce sandwich (must be the cheap round lettuces with salad cream - couldn’t be without salad cream)
Fried bread with a fried or poached egg
Scrambled egg and white toast
Basically anything white bead related!

RhodaCamel · 08/01/2020 19:37

Oh and tinned spaghetti on toast

chocolateisavegetable · 08/01/2020 19:37

Sprouts

rslsys · 08/01/2020 19:44

Plain Crisps (Corkers for preference)

Ham Roll made with a white finger roll, salted butter and carved deli ham

StartOfRoaringTwenties · 08/01/2020 19:46

Sautéed cabbage and kale
Baked potato with cheese and coleslaw
Cheddar and pickle sandwich
Nice bread toast

southernbelles · 08/01/2020 19:48

Decent vanilla ice cream! Don't get me wrong I love flavours as well but there's just something about the creaminess of vanilla Smile

HotSauceCommittee · 08/01/2020 19:52

Chick peas
Lentils
Pulses, all the pulses.

TinyTickler · 08/01/2020 19:55
