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?

Oh forgot to add:

Raw egg yolk + dollop of butter + spoon of sugar + chocolate powder of choice

Beat it all up in a mug with a fork and eat the batter straight away

Can't stress enough HOW YUMMY this is!!!

Scotch pie or a steak and gravy pie in a roll

Tuna and banana pizza

Jam sandwich on the cheapest, nastiest white bread I can find, accompanied by a packet of equally cheap and nasty ready salted crisps.
Perfect mix of sweet and savoury when I’m feeling grotty!

I love orange peel. 🍊

As with others I eat raw jelly. As children my sister and I would sometimes sneakily whip up caster sugar and butter and eat it. We were never allowed sweet things and so we'd hide in the garden with it!

Some of these suggestions remind me of a thread where a poster was very proud of being extremely frugal and made a pizza with fish head toppings. Does anyone else remember that?

Gravy bolognese.
Substitute the usual tomatoes for gravy made with bisto granules.
Pasta with gravy is sooooo good.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 18/09/2019 13:18

I looooove a stock cube. Mayo straight from the jar.

Just had and regularly have kale chips - kale, nutritional yeast, little bit of oil, bake at 180 for 10 mins. I can’t get enough, they’re like, aggressively savoury. But I know a lot of people would be like Hmm

@DappledThings - shouldn't eat apple cores - the pips contain cyanide

CornishMaid1 · 18/09/2019 13:21

Proper thunder and lightning, but that is only odd to people who are not from Cornwall. It is really delicious and very naughty...I could really eat some now.

dollydaydream114 · 18/09/2019 13:23

@DementorsKiss Unless you are eating maybe 50 apple cores in one sitting and chewing each seed individually to a fine pulp, it is perfectly OK to eat apple pips.

k1233 · 18/09/2019 13:24

Dappledthings people probably don't eat apple cores because of the cyanide link... Have heard of someone poisoning their husband with apple seeds.

Could be that I suppose. I still find it a bit weird people find an arbitrary line between what constitutes normal apple and core in order decide when to stop eating!

WinterRose92 · 18/09/2019 13:29

I quite like Heinz chicken soup cold and straight from the can Blush

Purplequalitystreet · 18/09/2019 13:32

The woman who killed her husband had saved up all the apple cores because be loved them so much. He ate a LOT of pips in one session. One apple core at a time won't harm you.

I like jam and cheese on crumpets. My DP looks at me like I have 2 heads

DementorsKiss · 18/09/2019 13:43

cheese, peanut butter & coleslaw sandwiches on granary bread are fantastic

RainOrSun · 18/09/2019 13:43

If by raw jelly, you mean the concentrated stuff that comes in a packet, yes to that.
Apple cores
Bovril on toast.

Yes to sampling the creamed butter and sugar when baking. And also raw biscuit and cake mixture.

And a spoonful of sugar, topped up with double cream.

BananaBooBoo · 18/09/2019 13:46

Used to eat sausage sandwiches with strawberry yougort when a teenager. In fact now I want one so will put on my list for weekend!

MaJiPe · 18/09/2019 13:47

Raw "cake batter".
I just beat one egg with a few spoons of sugar, then add butter and enough flour to make it into a soft dough. Yummy.

Paperplain · 18/09/2019 13:47

Sliced apples sandwiches. So good! No butter though.

Lowlandlucky · 18/09/2019 13:48

Potato rosti,fried gee and branston pickle sandwich wahed down with irn bru

SapphireSeptember · 18/09/2019 13:56

Just had to look up thunder and lightning, that sounds amazing!

I too eat apple cores (the pips taste like almonds, yes they contain cyanide but you'd have to eat loads to be poisoned.)

Tomatoes with cream and sugar, it's delicious. (Tomatoes have to be really ripe and in season though.)

Yorkshire pudding with golden syrup.

I eat Oxo cubes like sweeties.

So once I had brioche bread with clotted cream and rose jam. it was insanely sweet but quite tasty. (I'd run out of scones and needed to use up said cream and jam.) Can't find that jam anymore, it was by a French company and they sold it in Sainsbo's, anyone got any clues? They had some other nice flavours I wanted to try, but they've stopped selling it now.

Pumpkin spice hot chocolate! Has to be by Starbucks, no one does it so well (although I've been tempted to make my own version for a while.)

JigsawsAreAllLittlePieces · 18/09/2019 13:56

Raw cabbage heart
Frozen peas straight from the freezer
Frozen vol-au-vents straight from the freezer
Raw pastry
Raw cake batter
Plus I prefer pies and roast meat to be cold, not hot. Cold sausage roll, cold meat pie = lush. 😋

MissDew · 18/09/2019 13:56

Freshly cooked sausage rolled in buttered bread with marmalade on the bread too.

Another sweet and savoury combination.

Bovril on thickly buttered bread is lovely.

Itsallpetetong · 18/09/2019 13:59

Chicken and mushroom pot noodle butty -white bread of course.
Ready salted McCoy’s crisps dipped in Nutella
Cornish pasty in a butty is nice too
