Lightheaded really but reading a few other threads was thinking about what my true favourite things (vs what I would admit) are... for example - my true favourite book is Rachel’s Holiday but if asked would probably say one of my more “high brow” favourites... ditto my real death row meal would probably involve a burger and chips but would generally say something involving sea food.

So c’min - spill - what are your ‘guilty favourites

I LOVE Rachel’s holiday and I don’t care who knows it Smile

Beheuehyu · 12/06/2019 23:10

Belly pork and chips. My favourite meal but I would never admit that

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 12/06/2019 23:14

Beef koka noodles with buttered bread. No contest.

Beheuehyu · 12/06/2019 23:15

@BananaCatto now I love chips - but surely it should be mash Grin

Salmon, potatoes with skins on, asparagus and peas

Beheuehyu · 12/06/2019 23:20

@happyhillock - it’s your last ever meal - so there better be lashings of butter otherwise quite frankly it’s not in the spirit Grin

I like Love Island
My DC don’t watch it, just me!

Food wise, probably something boring but also amazing like a chicken roast dinner

SapphireSeptember · 12/06/2019 23:24

Evanescence are my favourite band EVER and I will fight anyone who disses them. (The fighty attitude is because of metal snobs who laugh at you for not liking super heavy metal that makes your ears bleed.)
I love Pusheen! Don't care that I'm 30, no I am not old enough to know better.
I also love Harry Potter (see above.)
I do like fancy tea though, you should see my tea stash, tis a sight to behold! I'm also a chocolate and hot chocolate snob. (Sorry, not sorry.)
Anything related to mermaids, unicorns, narwhals, dragons, fairies, witches and anything holographic or iridescent (or rose gold or neon) and I'm like a moth to the flames.
Revolution are one of my favourite make up brands, fight me. None of my favourite brands are very expensive, yes I am wearing bright pink eyeshadow, no I am not fucking 'brave'. (I've actually had this said to me and I find it irritating as fuck.)
I like swearing, I think it's funny (although I try to avoid swearing at people as much as I can. Saying that the few times in my life I've really shouted at people I haven't sworn at them, so... )

Seren85 · 12/06/2019 23:33

My favourite book is Memoirs of a Geisha. I've gone through several copies.

My favourite film is Almost Famous.

My favourite band is Fleetwood Mac, even if most of musical taste is heavy, loud metal. I also love Evanescence (Amy Lee is a goddess) and I'll never understand the bandwagon jumping of hating Nickleback.

magneticmumbles · 12/06/2019 23:34

I grate cheese onto crisps and zap in the microwave! And I love yoghurt with rice crispies! Plus I make 'pizza sandwiches'- ketchup with a sprinkling of herbs spread on bread, slice of ham and cheese melted in the microwave.

Judge me all you want.

Seren85 · 12/06/2019 23:34

Also, I like Nandos and pjs with cartoons on them are ace.

NoShitHemlock · 12/06/2019 23:39

Rick Astley sigh (I am totally in the closet about my cheesy 80's pop lovefest)

I have loved him since I was 8 and I am Never Gonna Give Him Up.

I will see myself out.....

VampirateQueen · 12/06/2019 23:40

I like Evanescence @SapphireSeptember Amy Lee has a fantastic voice, I saw them live when they headlined at Download.

DontCallMeShitley · 12/06/2019 23:43

Halloumi, salad and chips, sticky toffee pudding and custard, or maybe apple & blackcurrant crumble & custard or tiramisu or one of each.
And builders tea.

babyno5 · 12/06/2019 23:51

Chip shop chips with curry sauce. Food of the gods 🥰

toriathet · 12/06/2019 23:51

90s boybands and eating melted chocolate straight out of the bowl

i will only watch supernatural based shows and love them all(supernatural is my fave)

Anon4775312 · 12/06/2019 23:56

My absolute favourite thing is pjamma days with me and the kids. Watching TV, eating pizza and slobbing round completely chilling all together all day. They love it too! (We do it maybe once or twice a year!!)

BananaCatto · 13/06/2019 08:30

Nah, it’s the belly pork slices that look like thick rasher of bacon. Friend or grilled until they’re crispy AF. def chips with that

spanishwife · 13/06/2019 10:01

Fried chicken (not KFC), nachos, lots and lots of nachos.

blackteasplease · 13/06/2019 11:18

I really love Rachel's holiday too! Great book.

FudgeBrownie2019 · 13/06/2019 11:24

I love Love Island and I'm not sorry at all.

Muriels Wedding is the best film of all time.

Roast beef sandwiches on thick crusty bloomer with horseradish and rocket is the best food in the world. DH is one of those who likes to visit Michelin-starred places and I sit there thinking how nice a slice of tiger bread would be to wipe the plate with.

I read Philippa Gregory's history books and love them. Obviously at book club I pretend to like actual adult books but my love for the Tudors will never die.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 13/06/2019 11:27

My REAL favourite movie is The Oject of my Affection. I tell people it's (2nd fave) Inception.

My REAL favourite food is a Large Pepperoni pizza from Dominoes with a large tub of garlic sauce all in one sitting. I tell people it's fillet steak.
