Like... one you make when you really can't be bothered or one you have and feel ashamed to eat and would never eat in front of anyone?

Mine is a baked potato, drowned in butter and cheese.... with Princes tinned minced beef and onions on top Blush

I know why... there used to be (still is actually) And baked potato stall in the little town I grew up in and I used to have this every Saturday whilst my mum did the shopping.

However when I make it, even I look at it and think "this is so gross" And DP always looks at me like Confused ... it is delicious though. Would never tell anybody that's what I had for my tea tonight nor woukd I ever ever ever eat tinned mince on anything else (I think i would be sick)

When DH was a teenager he used to eat Heinz tomato soup with Smash on the top. Bleurgh.

Fried egg sandwich with white bread, and a tin of beans with little sausages in. Go on, judge me Grin

I used to eat a bowl full of sweet corn, with beetroot and branston pickle on top, with a side of salt and vinegar crisps, but had to be ridged crisps.

Boil in the bag fish in parsley sauce with mashed potatoes and ketchup.

When I was a kid my gran used to make it when I was ill. Whenever I feel poorly/sad/stressed I really crave it as a pure comfort thing.

Pasta with mayonnaise mixed in whilst warm and cheese on top.. DH thinks it's absolutely disgusting but it's one of my favourite things in life Grin

alltoomuchrightnow · 18/02/2018 20:19

not a meal (as such!) but for breakfast at work in the Noughties I worked opposite M&S...would pour a packet of Fizzy Fish into a cherry yogurt... I still crave this , don't think they do FF any more! My colleagues used to be totally appalled on every level

Pea sandwiches or rolls

Or macaroni cheese sandwiches or rolls

Melted Chocolate sandwich ....
whole tablet of chocolate inside a baguette under the grill until the chocolate has melted.
Like cheese on toast but so much better!

Ginkypig · 18/02/2018 20:21

Oh and dp has recently introduced me to crisps and coleslaw on well fired rolls. We have them every Saturday for lunch now Blush

Nervousrex · 18/02/2018 20:23

A thickly buttered cheese sandwich fried in more than enough butter on both sides until the cheese is melted and stringy.

Heartburn city. But sooo delicious.

Buglife · 18/02/2018 20:24

I’m pregnant and I had a delicious meal of potato waffles toppe with piles of grated cheese, mayonnaise and sriracha hot sauce...

NewSense · 18/02/2018 20:25

Lasandwich... Cold leftover lasagne in a sandwich. Mmmmm....

overnightangel · 18/02/2018 20:26

@CanIhavedessertfirst that sounds so bad I can’t help but applaud you Smile

NewtScamandersNaughtyNiffler · 18/02/2018 20:27

Microwave mushroom rice mixed into a tin of chicken in white sauce. I have it for lunch at work at least once a fortnight.

TeachesOfPeaches · 18/02/2018 20:27

Baylis that sounds absolutely heavenly

SneakyGremlins · 18/02/2018 20:29

Pasta cooked in gravy, served in said gravy Blush

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 18/02/2018 20:32

Curly fries & cheese.
Tin of stewed steak on a lathered in butter jacket potato, just bloody gorgeous Grin

iamyourequal · 18/02/2018 20:32

Our ‘emergency meal’ is a tinned fray bentos meat pie with tinned peas and boiled potatoes, ketchup and brown sauce- classy! I’m known as someone who cooks from scratch so I always hide it at the bottom of the shopping trolley in case I bump into anyone. I do same with the kids tinned spaghetti with little sausages in it. I also like banana and peanut butter sandwiches.
