Digestive biscuit with salted butter and extra mature farmhouse cheddar

Toast with marmite, peanut butter and avocado

Salted peanuts (preferably the salt and vinegar ones) and grated cheddar cheese mixed with a bit of mayo or salad cream

I was also going to say digestives and cheddar!

At uni my party pleaser was grilled courgette slices in olive oil. Everyone wanted some after a night out and they only take ten minutes, slice thinly and lay out flat without overlapping, drizzle generously with oil and loads of salt and pepper. You can grate parmesan afterwards if you can be bothered.

My kids eat a picky plate that is so good, I make one for myself too. A couple of slices of salami, half a boiled egg with a tiny mountain of white pepper to dip it in, a few fresh blueberries and one plain cracker. It is hunger-quenching and tantrum-quelling.

A buttered digestive biscuit.
A warm Eccles cake with a slice of any blue cheese melted on top. (But Stilton preferably).

I thought I was the only person to love buttered digestives.

Also crumpets with butter and marmite.

A girl I went to school with in the 60s used to carry an Oxo cube everywhere with her, and occasionally lick it. She used to have Wright's Coal Tar soap with her at all times, too, because she loved to sniff it. She was, in all other ways, perfectly normal.

My snack is a grape (well, several,. but one at a time) wrapped in a little bit of Serrano ham. The sweet/savoury combination is heavenly.

As a very young child I used to nibble on firelighters when I got a chance.

I still love the smell of them!

Oh I really need to try blue cheese and marmalade. I love marmalade and bacon sandwich.

I love a bit of marmalade on pate on toast. It needs to be quite bitter but it really works

Digestive biscuit with salted butter and a slice of mature cheddar is divine. I also love a cream cracker with some salted butter and then peanut butter on top. Mmmm!

Marmite, crunchy peanut butter and tomato ketchup or siracha on toasted white bread.
