Probably just me. But mine is raw mushrooms, with garlic squeezed straight from the tube. Straight in the gob. It's better than sex.

Everyone thinks I'm a dog. Please tell me yours!

Yes NavyandWhite, it's delicious. It's all salty and yummy. Grin

Corialanusburt · 05/04/2017 17:27

Didn't Honey Boo Boo used to eat spaghetti with lashings of margarine and ketchup. Eeeww.
I like peanut butter, marmite and lots of real butter on wholemeal bread. I also like bean and egg, but with peas mixed into the beans.

redjoker · 05/04/2017 18:25

Yes marmite pasta all the way. Love it hot and cold. Nigela has it in a recipe book but only saw it after years of eating it. I'm very fussy about shape of pasta, amount of marmite and cheese tho. It's a fine art

mermaidsandunicorns · 05/04/2017 22:42

I'm a vinegar sipper

I like tinned spaghetti mixed with Parmesan cheese (out of a tub) and croutons

DontPullThatTubeOut · 06/04/2017 10:15

Strawberries with sugar, not that weird but my partner thought it was odd, until he tried it.

Booboo27 · 06/04/2017 10:19

My favourite snack is apple slices dipped in a really salty, crunchy peanut butter.
I also love loads of vinegar on my Yorkshire puddings Grin

WankingMonkey · 06/04/2017 10:46

I crave salt sometimes. Not on food, just salt on its own.

I could easily drink a bottle of vinegar, love the stuff

The one my husband finds the most gross is..I make bacon and put mint sauce on it. The mixture is just beautiful Grin

WankingMonkey · 06/04/2017 10:48

Oh I also sometimes enjoy heinz chicken and veg soup straight out of the tin Blush

Its a habit I picked up from my mum I think. I have vivid memories of her sitting eating beans and sausage and stuff cold from the tin. Never asked her why

redjoker · 06/04/2017 11:24

an old friend of mine used to layer a dish with savoury rice, a tin of tuna and top with cream of chicken soup. Then bake in the oven

Confused

That made me throw up in my mouth.

Thinkingblonde · 06/04/2017 11:41

This is a Yorkshire delicacy, left over Yorkshire puds eaten with jam. I made extra for this.

scaryteacher · 06/04/2017 12:46

Cheddar, crunchy peanut butter and apricot jam sandwiches are my guilty pleasure. I am also partial to a scotch egg dunked into salad cream.

WashBasketsAreUs · 06/04/2017 12:46

Another one- cold baked beans straight from the tin. We used to eat so many we had to open another tin for dinner!
Cold sausages with chocolate spread on.
I eat butter as well!

MusicToMyEars800 · 06/04/2017 13:48

I was about to post another one of mine which is marmite with pasta and lots of cheese on top and stuck under the grill Grin it appears I am not the only one. another one of mine is new/baby potatoes cooked and then cooled I then dip them in the tub of butter and eat Grin

MusicToMyEars800 · 06/04/2017 13:49

I also eat cold macaroni cheese out of the tin Blush

MusicToMyEars800 · 06/04/2017 13:52

DeepfiredPizza Grin I knew I couldn't be the only one, I also add grated cheese to mine

DeepfriedPizza · 06/04/2017 18:40

Now, that I have to try!

Itsnotwhatitseems · 06/04/2017 18:43

baked potato with butter and golden syrup

Graphista · 06/04/2017 18:49

"Strawberries with sugar, not that weird but my partner thought it was odd, until he tried it." How the hell was he eating them? Confused

My ex had never had rhubarb with a paper cone of sugar Shock

Graphista · 06/04/2017 18:53

Yorkshires n strawberry Jam - Google clafoutis.

I do the food topic on quiz up and have found some amazing ideas.

I think anyone who's been in guides/scouts/girls or boys brigade/cadets has had cold stuff out tins at some point. Rice pudding is my favourite I actually don't like it warm/hot.

DontPullThatTubeOut · 07/04/2017 08:16

Graphista to be fair to him, he tries to avoid anything healthy.

Giddyaunt18 · 07/04/2017 11:47

Ooh yes Graphista I agree, cold rice pudding from the tin is far superior to heating it and eating from a bowl. Same for custard. as a child of the 70s, I always enjoyed a dairylea and strawberry jam sandwich. Now you get breaded camembert with cranberry jam. I was ahead of the game!

Graphista · 07/04/2017 23:59

Graphista to be fair to him, he tries to avoid anything healthy Grin is he my ex??

Ooh cold custard yum! (Also 70's child)

At school we used to get the following variation on custard tart:

Done as a large tray tart

Pastry base, strawberry jam layer topped with custard filling left to set then sprinkled with a mix of nutmeg and cinnamon.

BreakfastAtStephanies · 08/04/2017 00:41

Dripping from a roast joint. Turkey is best but pork is pretty good too. It is gorgeous spread on hot toast, by itself or sometimes with a thin layer of Bovril.

Everybody except me and my DM thinks this is disgusting and offensive for some reason.

Summerisdone · 08/04/2017 01:05

I often make myself a mug of bisto gravy to drink. Nothing else to go with it, I don't even need to be making any to go with a dinner, I'll just fancy a cup of gravy the same way I often fancy a cup of tea, so I pour my gravy granules into the cup and add my hot water.

My ex used to give me dirty looks or tell me I was a tramp because I'd offer to make him a brew and then I'd come back out the kitchen with my mug of bisto Grin

Also I work in a kitchen and I'll grab myself a handful of the pea shoots or water cress to eat all of the time, I didn't think that was a strange thing to do but all of my colleagues tell me how apparently it is as they're not things people tend to eat unless part of a salad or when used to garnish a meal, but I like to eat them on their own.
