I’ve just made myself some salt and pepper on toast. First discovered as a poor student when literally all I had in the house was value white sliced bread, cheap margarine and salt and pepper. It’s very nice! I’m now 41 and I make it with nice bread and butter, Maldon salt and freshly ground pepper though Smile

Sometimes I like to eat a bit of stock cube too

Anyone else?

Raw jelly, mashed potato sandwiches, mashed potato on toast. Never tried salt and pepper on toast... might have to now. I think my obsession with mashed potato came about when we were skint and it was all we had...

Raw potatoes
Chips with butter
Salad cream sandwiches

Grenich · 18/09/2019 12:26

Yes being skint does force you to get creative sometimes! Just remembered I sometimes ate super noodles uncooked for a change, and they’re actually really nice too!

Ready salted crisps in a bowl with globs of salad cream and grated cheese. Yum!

Windydaysuponus · 18/09/2019 12:27

Ready salted crisp sandwich.

MaMaMaMySharona · 18/09/2019 12:28

Chips with butter is going straight to top of my must-have list.

DappledThings · 18/09/2019 12:30

Apple cores. I don't really understand why anyone doesn't. At what point of eating do you decide that is no longer main apple but is the core? Tastes the same to me.

MadisonAvenue · 18/09/2019 12:30

Spring roll sandwich or roll, with butter.

I thought raw potatoes were potentially poisonous too.

IwantedtobeEmmaPeel · 18/09/2019 12:30

Raw jelly cubes, french mustard sandwiches, cold baked beans straight from the tin Blush.

x2boys · 18/09/2019 12:31

You'd have to eat LOADS

1984isnow · 18/09/2019 12:34

Not sure if it is odd, but don't know anyone else who does it. I put yogurt on almost every cooked meal, stews, roasts, fried chicken. Only things I don't put it on really is cheesy meals or eggs

ComftyCushion · 18/09/2019 12:36

Tomato soup poured over chips or tomato soup poured over a Cornish pasty.

Cheese tomato ketchup and salad cream sandwich - I used to have this as pack up on school trips!

fairydustandpixies · 18/09/2019 12:39

Potato waffle sandwiches - white bread and masses of butter!! The. Best. Thing. Ever.

StrawBlueRas · 18/09/2019 12:43

Can someone please elaborate on raw potatoes??

I don’t know if I have a vitamin deficiency or something but the intense cravings I get for them are unreal... I’ve only read that the greenish ones are poisonous. Apparently they’re fine if they’re a normal colour and not tinted green! But who knows... I am craving one right now. Cold, washed, crispy sticks of potato.

2girlsandagap · 18/09/2019 12:44

Not really outlandish as such but Fried spam sandwiches. My friends and dh are always appalled when I eat them. They are the ultimate comfort food. I also lick the flavouring off salt and vinegar pringles and put the soggy ones back in the tube after which has had the happy effect of putting everyone else in the family off eating them in case they get the pre licked ones.

Hcisab · 18/09/2019 12:45

When I was pregnant I was eating gherkins dipped in marmite Blush

For the record, I no longer eat them!

LoseLooseLucy · 18/09/2019 12:48

Oh sweet baby Jesus, I'd be hanging you out of the window by your ankles 😷😷

StillCoughingandLaughing · 18/09/2019 12:48
