I just had cold potatoes straight from the can.

I was delighted when I found a bag of frozen mozzarella sticks in the freezer the other day. Cooked up then dipped in sweet chilli sauce, they were yummy!

A couple of weeks ago I bit into a (fairly old but not mouldy) nectarine. The stone broke in half and a thousand tiny creatures fell out, all over me. Upon googling, these were earwigs and it's not entirely uncommon. That was the most hideous lunch I have ever had and I will never look at a nectarine again.

Don't think anyone can beat the grossness levels of this 🤢

Cheese & crisps.

I have to get back to the office.

DentalWorries · 03/11/2021 16:19

Yesterday I had a whole box of duck spring rolls dipped in sweet chilli sauce. Delicious but disgustingly unnutritious

Justilou1 · 03/11/2021 16:19

Potatoes come in a can???

poorbuthappy · 03/11/2021 16:20

Family sized share bag of salt and vinegar sticks.
I just sat there shovelling them in.
Felt great at the time.
Less so immediately afterwards.

JovialNickname · 03/11/2021 17:27

The other day I had a McCains microwave jacket potato with potato salad as a filling. (Nothing else left in the house)

It was very nice actually

GrannyWeatherwaxsBroomstick · 03/11/2021 17:59

A tin of refried beans, heated up with cheese on top. Yummy. 😁

bogeythefungusman · 03/11/2021 18:04

mackerel in tomato sauce and beetroot sandwich and a bag of cheese and onion crisps. Delicious and not an earwig in sight.

Only one poster here has hit the brief.

All others I would eat.

Wotsitsits · 03/11/2021 18:10

A few spoons of left over icing

@TheMissingMango

A banana wrapped in a store bought Nutella filled crepe. Bon appetit!
This sounds nice - bananas and Nutella crepes will feature on my next shopping list.

My worst wfh ‘lunch’ (which made an appearance at other times too until I got strict with myself) was the mayonnaise toastie. Two ingredients - guess what.

BlameItOnTheBlackStar · 03/11/2021 18:14

Holy fuck that nectarine story Envy

TillyTopper · 03/11/2021 18:23

Went my work bag after 16 months and found chocolate. God knows how I missed that!! I ate it though, it was delish.

@floofycroissant

When things get desperate I tend to just open the fridge door, unhinge my jaw and throw stuff in. I ate a whole jar of olives last week as a snack Blush
I love this. "Unhinged my jaw"- this is my new catchphrase Grin
PinkSyCo · 03/11/2021 18:35

Cold left over roasties dipped in ketchup.

PhilCornwall1 · 03/11/2021 18:36

@NatMoz

Pasta, cheese and gravy!
That sounds really nice.
SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 03/11/2021 19:43

Boiled rice, grated cheddar - with a soft boiled egg if I feel like treating myself.

UUUUUGGGGHHHH me too! I was on holiday and I got such a fright that I threw the nectarine away from me - and accidentally out of the window. If you were walking down the street in Italy once and an earwiggy nectarine landed on your head I apologise unreservedly Blush

@PearsMorgan I love you and your cat based food hygiene rules

I once caught DH emerging from the kitchen with a plate on which were four mini pork pies and some Haribo.

He hadn't even got the Haribo on a separate plate, instead they were artistically scattered over the pork pies.

Not gross really, but definitely unhealthy.

DaphneDeloresMoorhead · 03/11/2021 20:08

Not gross but bloody lazy

An entire chorizo sliced and fried 🤤

Potato with a side order of potatoes.. Love it.

@arootintootingoodtime

Sweetcorn straight from the tin.
With a huge squirt of ketchup in the can, this is one of my favourite snacks
