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.

@tara my grandad would make this too! It’s full and official title was “Egg Champed Up In A Cup”. Still love some ECUIAP when I’m feeling sorry for myself.

Pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, red onions and... tuna! I know it sounds gross but actually it's ace.

@Herroyalfattyness we used to have that growing up as well tomato soup and mash potato. Yummy

Not tuna mayo... but tuna mint sauce. Yum!

Marmite and mayonnaise sarnies.
Leftover cheese fondue on toast, grilled.

My basic breakfast invention is hard toast. I toast bread twice on a low setting to harden it without burning it. Then I leave to get cold. Spread with butter and marmite. It can’t be warm or the butter melts and makes it soggy (yuck). It’s a toast melba with a seeded loaf. Served with a pint of strong but milky tea. Not revolutionary I admit, but no one else has ever made this...honest!

This, of course it recreating my teen years where Mum would call me down for breakfast, having made the toast ( unbuttered). I would faff around in my bedroom trying to perfect my blue eyeshadow and pearlescent pink lippy before school. By the time I came down, the toast would be cold....but bloody lovely spread with non melty butter and marmite.

Oh yes - cold hard toast with butter and marmite. Absolutely the dog's bollocks

Hot and sour bovril - bovril cube , hot water , loads of white pepper and a splosh of red or white wine vinegar

Oohhh I love some of these .. mine is marmite and ketchup on toast .. it's delicious .. also loads of butter obvs .. soooo good

Actually just having a scroll I think marmite and vinegar in some form are the two ingredients mentioned most..

Trifle made with ginger cake, mint choc chip ice cream, and sweetened condensed milk. DM's invention, possibly the only thing that small boys could love. My own is salami sandwiched between digestive biscuits.

Informal ‘cheesecake’ made from Philadelphia on a digestive with jam on top although obviously other people do this.

Plain crisp sandwich (white bread) with salad cream and mint sauce.

@ShivD as a kid I used to wrap Bernard Matthews turkey Slices around slabs of cheddar it was one of my fave snacks !

Salt and vinegar snack a jack rice cakes with feta cheese and raw red onion on to. Absolutely amazing

Fried egg on cream crackers

Fried tomato sandwich with basil Caerphilly cheese.

Today in a falafel takeaway place I had what can only be someones crazy invention: in a lebanese wrap, falafel, hummus and a shedload of pickled cabbage and gerkins. This was on the menu, surely I was the only person to have ever asked for it. It was bloody lovely.

Toast but only grilled on one side, turned over and thin bars of white chocolate placed on the non grilled side, then grilled again. Lovely.

Chips, cheese and gravy is a Canadian classic (Poutine).

Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire Pudding, lightly warmed in the microwave and filled with jam and clotted cream.

I also have a thing for very lightly toasted bread left to get cold, then sort of bent so it goes floppy, covered in salted butter. It's basically slightly stiff bread and butter.

Frosties or Coco Pops with very thick double cream stirred in, so it's spoonable.

I wouldn't do all of these on one day though...

This thread reminds me of all the Enid Blyton boarding school midnight feasts. "Mmm, you girls simply must try a sardine pressed into ginger cake!" enthused Alicia. I am sure sardine-and-ginger-cake was one but those girls loved a weird food combo, preferably eaten by the swimming pool at midnight.

Mine is a pesto and banana sandwich, although I haven't fancied one in a while...

I didn't invent it but we all have it at my house. Cheese and strawberry jam sandwiches. Yum

Scrambled egg and honey sandwich.

Bernard matthew sausages cooked and sliced thickly, tin of beans and cooked pasta shells, mix together. It was all i had in my house when i arrived back after a long train journey with my 14 year old nephew, we had just been to my mothers funeral. It is still his favourite meal, although we cant find the BM sausages

@SomewhereNow Your DP stole the toast sandwich recipe from Mrs Beeton! Heston Blumenthal did too so your DP isn't the only one
