I’m a bit sick of reading food threads about how a loaf of Kingsmill is a dangerous public health risk, and how Peppermint from Wimbledon would be the size of a bus if she ate more than seventy three grains of rice in a sitting. Oh, and how I’m frankly letting my kids down by having fruit yoghurts in my fridge.

So, for those of us who read Nigella in bed, lick the drips from their kids’ ice cream and understand the mental health benefits of cheese after dinner, here is a joyful, judgement free thread about the foods we love. Whole meals, exotic experiments, or low-grade confectionary scavenged from the secret treats drawer. If it brings you joy, it’s all good.

For me, I love seaside and mountain food. Fish and chips by the sea, massive seafood platters (with chips and garlic mayonnaise). Fondue round a table with wine and friends (and dangerous quantities of cured meat). Also, my husband’s beef Wellington, sausages in the garden stuffed into baguettes. And tea and a Crunchie bar on the sofa, in a house of sleeping children.

Please share….

Loafs of butter ? I don't know if this is a typo or you have invented a wonderful new way to cook / eat butter . Can I be your friend 😁

Great thread!

My current indulgence is hot buttered toast or crumpets with lashings of M&S potted beef spread, washed down with a large mug of tea. Divine.

Interested in this thread?

There’s a Wimpy Kid book where they go to a country fair and the local speciality is deep fried butter on a stick.
I so would.

Went for dinner last night and dessert was a massive squidgy brownie with cherry ice cream. Dreamy!

I once found a half eaten block of butter in my toddler’s play den. He’d been sharing it with a friend on their play date. He’s 12 now so I reckon he could do a whole loaf.

That sounds amazing. And on a Monday night too!

I like to put cherries in my Nigel Slater chocolate brownies. Served warm with strong coffee. Mmmmmm.
