What foods do you think you invented?

[Afonavon]

When we were skint and were eating out of the fridge and cupboards DH ‘invented his favourite sandwich....

Hummus and raisins, he now eats it everyday even though we have enough food in the house to have normal sandwiches.

When I was little and we were poor, my Mum used to give me a bowl of dried milk as my supper. I thought that it was the best snack ever.

I had an uncle who would use cup a soups as flavouring for plain crisps. We still do this and bloody love it.

@FruityWidow My kind of junk food.

Pasta mixed with beef gravy and butter... absolutely delicious, used to make it when skint and still eat it now. Also salad cream sarnies.

Cheesecake with a flapjack base instead of biscuit base.

Mexican lasagne.

Like Italian only use the following subs.

Chille con carne instead of Ragu
Tortilla wraps instead of lasagne sheets
Sourcream instead of white sauce
Top.woth nachos, salsa, jalepenos and cheese.

Oh my goodness it's good.

Walkers ready salted crisps dipped in Philadelphia. Yum!

Toast sandwiches (can’t claim these but DP can). Slice of toast between two slices of buttered bread liberally doused with salt and pepper. Honestly the best thing ever when you’ve got nothing else in especially after a drink or three.

A fish finger and chip 'sandwich' I invented when I was a teenager.

When I had a plate of fish fingers and chips I sandwiched a chip in between two fish fingers with ketchup - the fish fingers were the 'bread' part of the sandwich and the chip was the filling. The ketchup was to stop it falling apart and to make the chip stick to the fish fingers.

Sticking with the theme of fish fingers, I made a fish finger sandwich (with bread) for the first time in my mid twenties. I thought this was an invention too, although it probably wasn't as they are quite popular on pub menus now. I'd never come across one when I was raiding my kitchen for lunch inspiration that day though.

Cold new potato and salad cream sandwiches.

Cold salmon and horseradish sauce stuffed into a Yorkshire pudding.

@Snowflake9 OMG that sounds amazing! 😋

Oh forgot a packet of ready salted crisps sprinkled with salt and vinegar and squirted with ketchup.

@Clevs it so is.. sometimes I add a pack of Mexican rice to the chille to bulk it out a bit if feeding more people.

Bacon, fried egg and banana, made by baking everything in the oven...

Snap a kitkat into bits and then eat each piece with a Walkers ready salted crisp. Also, a crumpet with crunchy peanut butter and Nutella.

I heard of someone who believed that he had invented the food of Gods...The Pot Noodle Sandwich. Make up a pot noodle, use as a filling for buttered cheapo white bread sandwich.

Whenever I have a pie, after it’s cooked I remove the lid, fill with peas, then replace the lid. A pie needs to be 30% peas in my opinion.

My Dad think he invented cheese and jam sandwiches.

DS’s treat as a youngster was white chocolate buttons with cheese. He’d sandwich the cheese between two buttons. It was actually really nice as it is the classic combo of sugar, fat, salt.

Cheddar cheese and Brinjal pickle sandwich.
Peanut butter and lime pickle sandwich.

Neither my invention!

Jacket potato sandwich. Fill hot potato with butter and cheese, then gently use the back of a plate to squash it flat. Cake slice to put it between two pieces of thick well buttered bread.

New potatoes in butter, and most pasta dishes make excellent sandwich fillers too. And chips, cheese & fried onion sandwiches.

Sure I'm not the only person on the planet to have thought of it though.

I do both of those things too, StopMegxit. I love crisp sandwiches as well as dried fried crispy onion ones, but have you tried both together? Yum!

@snowflake9 we do that Mexican lasagna but call it a tortilla stack.

Ido lasagna with chick peas, spinach and walnuts sometimes, also chick peas, spinach and feta.

@pinkarsedfly Cold new potato and salad cream sandwiches.

Hi sister!

Digestive biscuit topped with strawberry jam and cheddar cheese.

Tinned oxtail soup with red wine and herbs cooked into it. Really posh tasting.

Crispy crushed potatoes (microwave in skins, squash flat between two chopping boards, roast in duck fat with big grains of salt). Whenever I make them, they disappear so fast there are never any leftovers.

Oh and tinned tuna with cucumber and baked beans mixed together. Sometimes substitute the tuna with carned beef.

I hate raisins. Just sayin'

Tomato and French's mustard soup. Add chilli. It's amazing.

Plain digestives with butter or shortbread dipped in cream.

YUM 😋

Leftover lasagne toasties done in the sandwich maker. So good.

My signature cocktail (non alcoholic) is a pint glass filled with 45% bitter lemon, 45% cranberry juice and topped up with a shot of lime cordial. It tastes like Tangfastics.
