What do you eat straight from the packet even if you shouldn't?

I mean things that are designed to be prepared in some way before consuming.

I've discovered hot chocolate spoons from Home Bargains that are quite nice stirred into hot milk but even better eaten as they are. They're so minty. It isn't a very cost efficient way of using them as you don't get that much chocolate but they're so good.

Also ramen. I have been known to eat some of the noodles dry.

Another vote for Super Noodles! Handfuls of grated cheese and quite enjoy nibbling uncooked spaghetti.

Probably not! But I was born in 71 in Lincolnshire, home of the proper Lincolnshire Sausage and I think it was different then. Home grown etc. Real butchers.
I wouldn’t nag on a raw Sainsbos sausage these days!

Does anyone remember Jem the cartoon popstar from the 80's? I remember having the album (book) and in the beauty tips page was eating raw jelly cubes to grow beautiful nails! I ate a lot of raw jelly in hope of beautiful nails.. you'll be shocked to hear that it didn't work! 😆
