I've been rumbled, cold Baked Beans.

DH is home from work with a sickness bug and he caught me with my secret snack which I have most afternoons before he gets home - baked beans, cold, straight from the tin with little chunks of extra mature cheddar cheese stirred in.
He thinks it's disgusting. I think it's heaven in a tin. I said everyone has a secret 'gross food' they love, he says they don't!

Who's being unreasonable here!? Grin
I've always hidden it from him, probably because deep down I know it's a bit different.
What are your sneaky snacks that no one knows about?

My not so secret food is baked beans mixed with curry powder, pasta and cheese Blush

YANBU cold baked beans (but only Heinz Grin) straight from the tin are the absolute pinnacle of best gross food.

Boiled potatoes with lots of butter and some salt. Served with a slice of bread and butter.

Cold beans are fab, but not as great as my all time secret gross favourite, canned beefaroni.

Cold second-day pasta here.
Or custard straight from the carton (has to be cold, mind, from the fridge).

It's tradition in my family to have cold beans with shepherds pie & bubble & squeak. It is a future dh/bf test for me & my dsis s

YANB remotely U - cold baked beans straight from the tin are one of my favourite foods. I don't like them eaten hot. My way of gilding the lily is to stir a spoonful of mayonnaise into the tin with them.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 03/05/2017 19:06

Crusty white bread with lots of butter, piccalilli and ketchup. Yum.

PeppaPigTastesLikeBacon · 03/05/2017 19:06

Cold baked beans are the only way I eat them. If DP is having them with dinner then I'll eat my portion out of the tin first Grin

LadySalmakia · 03/05/2017 19:07

I know someone who has purposefully never fed their DC heated baked beans so she never has to faff about warming them up. One of them made it to 6 before she realised that the hot baked beans Nanny did were the usual way of doing it and not a special treat!

Mine is supernoodles covered in cheese.

NotEvenListening · 03/05/2017 19:09

Yanbu. I love cjeap rice pudding cold from the tin. It actually makes my mother retch if she pops by and catches me

Kentnurse2015 · 03/05/2017 19:09

This whole thread makes me feel a little bit queasy!

Borntoflyinfirst · 03/05/2017 19:12

Everyone in my family eats cold baked beans. I have never heated beans for my children. My DH is the odd one out here insisting they need to be warm! I also eat cold spaghetti in tomato sauce out of the tin without heating too.

SweetChickadee · 03/05/2017 19:13

oh god no, just no....

arleybarley · 03/05/2017 19:13

Mushy peas straight from the tin Blush

BrevilleTron · 03/05/2017 19:13

Sugar sandwich
DP says it's disgusting
(Haven't had one for about ten years)

Anyone else admit to it?

ToothTrauma · 03/05/2017 19:14

Horrible tinned macaroni and cheese made into a sandwich with plastic bread Blush

Glittermakeseverythingbetter · 03/05/2017 19:14

Heinz cold baked beans (mini half tins), drizzled with heinz salad cream, eaten out of the tin as a summer snack here.

Kelsoooo · 03/05/2017 19:14

Oh I beat you all.

Oxo cube + hot water in a mug. To drink.
If I'm feeling super decadent, a slab of strong cheese to dip into it.

I did not realise this was weird until the room of people (DH, MIL, FIL, Aunt and Uncle) all stared at me like I was a lunatic.

Or tortilla chips dipped in mango chutney.

Kelsoooo · 03/05/2017 19:15

@breville I love a good sugar sandwich!

DurhamDurham · 03/05/2017 19:15

Mushy peas straight from the tin with a liberal glug of vinegar. Mmmmm
