Totally unreasonable foods that you secretly love

[CaptainCabinets]

I’ll start. There is absolutely nothing acceptable about all day breakfast in a tin so why did I buy it in B&M earlier and eat it for dinner?!

I also LOVE cheap sausage rolls - none of your artisan nonsense! I went to Greggs for the first time last year (am not in UK) and bought a bag of sausages rolls and 2 cream doughnuts and brought them back to my hotel and scoffed the lot!

ew what did that taste of op?

i like lime pickle with pitta bread

Also.... Baked beans with a decent squirt of mayo and a sprinkling of pepper. On bread. Obviously.

And I can't resist a peanut butter, honey and banana sandwich. So good. No scraping of any of these ingredients either. The correct volume of filling is determined by how much oozes out while trying to eat it.

Crisp sandwiches are not unreasonable heheh.

But when I’m in the U.K. I love a good mashed potato and cabbage sandwich with loads of tomato sauce. I think anything is better on a sandwich 🤣🤣

Anything from Greggs

When I was a student I lived on perfectly cooked shpernoodles topped with turkey twizzlers (I hate Jamie Oliver). I still crave them. Also pasta with butter, sweet corn and paprika.

In Thailand my weird food is sticky rice with pumpkin, honey, and coconut milk.

In the Philippines is pancit noodles (think supernoodles but with no sauce). Topped with boybuwang which is dry fried sweet corn.

one person comes along as says their guilty pleasure is lettuce, or a ‘massive salad’ or aubergines or something

For me @DaftCat this was the reference to 'homemade' something. Nothing homemade belongs on this thread!

@babybunny123 if you're still buying Toast Toppers, where from? Please tell me!

Cornflakes with milk and a generous dollop of double cream, and brown sugar.

Heinz spaghetti with mini sausages in a dish, layer of mash potato on top, generous sprinkling of cheddar. Bake in oven for 20 mins.

Perfect winter food.

Another favourite of mine. Dirty, cheap processed ham, the cheaper the better with a wedge of cheese, wrapped up like a parcel. Pure filth all that processed meat.

Oh - and bubble and squeak, made with proper dripping and fried until crispy.

And chocolate and banana spring rolls - squares of filo pastry wrapped round nutella and a bit of banana, then shallow fried in sunflower oil until golden brown, then served dredged with icing sugar. I might make these for the family over Christmas, as a treat - that will make me very popular!

Potato waffle in the toaster - ive found my people.

I “discovered” this one night when I came home really drunk and was scared to light the grill so I put the waffles in the toaster. 4 mins and perfection. 15 years it’s taken to find others that do this 🤣

Potato waffles in the toaster is sheer genius! If I had any in the freezer, I'd be trying it today. But I haven't.

I am low calorie low carbing so all dirty foods on hold for me (chips with mayo and grated cheese with gravy over to melt everything. for example).
But I saw Beef and Tomato Pot Noodle mentioned upthread and it reminded me that the beef and tomato pot noodle is in fact Vegan right up until you add the ketchup sachet (ie the tomatoness). If you use normal ketchup instead there's no animal products at all, in spite of the fact it's beef flavoured.
Weird.

Instant mash and bisto gravy

Instant mash, grated cheese and baked beans.

I love instant mash

I have discovered the wonderful Scottish-Italian fusion, haggisagne.

Leftover haggis, chopped carrot and swede if handy, layered into a lasagne with tomato and white sauce, preferably from a dolmio jar, and covered in strong cheddar. Serve with chips, obvs. Drool

Marmite and salt & vinegar crisp sandwiches take some beating though.

Chicken Supernoodles
Rustlers Burgers
Square Plastic Cheese rolled up and shoved straight in gob, also Dairylea Triangles... DH buys those bags of grated mozzarella, so I can never resist a handful
Those thick massive pizzas you can get in the kebab shop..obviously with extra cheese - so gooey and bad!!
When I'm drunk I sometimes make a sandwich (cheap white bread) with marmite on one slice, peanut butter on the other and cheddar cheese in between - amazing

Mashed potato in the bottom of a Pyrex dish, cooked chopped onion and bacon on top, a tin of beans lobbed over it, more mash and then grated cheese. Shove in oven for 20 mins. Bloody lovely.

Dirty, cheap processed ham, the cheaper the better with a wedge of cheese, wrapped up like a parcel. Pure filth all that processed meat.

There is something delicious about nasty, nasty ham. I need to see the words 'mechanically separated', 'formed' and 'added water'.

Tinned hotdogs in a massive baguette

A hard boiled egg (or two) chucked in a bag of plain crisps
Fried spam..
Spam in batter,,,,sigh,,

Oh and fishfinger sandwiches with sliced pickle on (The mcdonalds kind)

Mashed potato in the bottom of a Pyrex dish, cooked chopped onion and bacon on top, a tin of beans lobbed over it, more mash and then grated cheese. Shove in oven for 20 mins.

Very similar to Family Circle Beano Pie! It's a staple with us. Slight variation is that the bacon fat is used to fry the onion. The bacon, onion, and some cheese are stirred into the baked beans. The mashed potato with additional cheese added and some sprinkled on top and the whole in the oven until the cheese is very toasty...

Greggs chicken pasties. Or a vegetable one with whatever the Heinz soup of the day is. And a Belgian bun.

Sandwich spread, but I can't buy it because DP just takes the piss.

Those really shite ham sandwiches you get in supermarkets and Boots that are just a slice of terrible ham (and I concur with Oyster on that subject), in dry white cheap bread.

Pork scratchings. The ones with a fuck-off massive hair on them are the best. And that huge lump of salt/flavourings/fat you get at the bottom of the scratchings bag if you're lucky.

Regarding Toast Toppers, I got them from somewhere like B&M, Quality Save, cannot remember where so I should think once they are gone that's it, don't think they make them any longer.

Cheese and tomato sauce sandwich

Mint aero and spring onion crisps (eaten together)

Buttered roll filled with curry super noodles.

Chippy chips with salt and vinegar topped with grated cheese and curry sauce.

Chinese curry sauce and onions on a buttered roll.

Plain sugar donuts dipped in coffee

Strawberry jam and cheese on crackers

Heinz tinned short cut spaghetti on toast

Micro pizzas (only the 4 cheese version will do)
