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.

Marrow fat peas cold out the tin.

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! 😆

I don’t remember the magazine but yes it was so touted to eat cubes of jelly to improve nails!

I'm pleased to see I'm not the only one who likes gravy granules straight from the tub 😂 I also like tomato purée from the tube. When I was younger I used to eat raw pasta.

Frozen peas. I love them!

Frozen chips
Sage and Onion Paxo 😋 esp when the hot water and butter goes in before the oven!

Any cheese in big lumps
Uncooked cake batter

Is it ok to eat raw sausage?? Never heard of that in my life. Every day is a school day 😀

Don't think it's recommended. According to my mum I live my life in constant danger of getting worms. Never have though (touch wood)

ofwarren · 19/11/2022 19:52

Most things out of a tin or jar
Mushy peas
Soup
Chickpeas
Beans
Miso
Kimchi

I used to eat raw sausage as a kid, but only because my mum gave them to me. I would never do it now.

Oooh I eat Super Noodles dry, straight from the packet!

WTF 😂Don't know whether to be disgusted or in awe of that. Respect anyway!

808Kate1 · 19/11/2022 19:54

Packet nut roast, mixed with water before it goes in the oven.

Runestone · 19/11/2022 19:55

Tomato purée
Garlic purée
Most condiments, a spoonful of Mayo or BBQ sauce or sweet chilli sauce, yum
A bit of the sage and onion stuffing mix

Choccyp1g · 19/11/2022 19:57

Marzipan. I buy a block -or two- every year despite not making Christmas cake.

I dont remember jem, but I definitely saw somewhere about eating cubes of raw jelly for nails. I ate so much , but sadly it never did my nails any good.

Nutella out of the jar, large spoon, love raw cookie dough or scone dough or cake batter. Used to eat salad cream sandwiches, cannot bear salad cream now.
All cereal is ruined by milk, just eat it from the box, forget milk, except porridge cos that would be weird.

My daughter often helps herself to a bowlful of frozen sweetcorn. We all eat Nutella out of the jar... I remember regularly eating raw jelly cubes as part of a midnight feast at sleepovers with my best friend because her mum was very strict and didn't really have snack foods in the house.

forlornlorna1 · 19/11/2022 20:15

Raw mushrooms

Littlemisspawpatrol · 19/11/2022 20:17

Sage and onion stuffing mix. Sometimes just dry, and sometimes just heated up with hot water and a knob of butter mixed in.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 19/11/2022 20:17

Marzipan. I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Toddlerteaplease · 19/11/2022 20:23
