What do you eat when you just want crappy comfort food, but not a takeaway or a full cook from scratch meal

[Nidan2Sandan]

My go to is always plain pasta with a shit tonne of grated cheddar and pepper on.

Heart attack on a plate but damn its quick, easy and delicious.

Bacon and cheese toastie or spaghetti carbonara, seriously 98% quicker than you think. Or fried mushrooms (in butter) on toast.

Carbonara

Either pasta and bisto cheese sauce or a baguette with proper butter

Jam on toast
A tin of beans & sausages on toast
Cheese & ham toastie

A pie with a heavily buttered soft baguette

Cheap pack of chicken noodle ( the ones with the little sachet) eaten soupy with extra salt, sometimes grated cheddar cheese on top!
