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?

Ketchup & Brown sauce together on chips.

My husband loves thunder and lightning! I still have sliced cucumbers and onion in vinegar-delicious 👍🏻
I did eat some weird things when I was a teen-cheese sandwich with crunchy nut cornflakes, orange peel, sugar sandwich; I don’t eat any of those now though but I’m curious about the onion and cheeses sauce recipe!?

Cheddar cheese grated, sliced up ham, sliced silver skin pickled onions, chopped up red onion, mixed together and pop in the microwave for about 30 seconds, then sandwich it between white bread with real butter. As a teen 16+ I always made this when I came in drunk after a night out. Still find it comforting now when I’m upset lol.

Cheese and onion crisps with chocolate. Best is a tube of smarties or minstrels, chick them in the crisp packet then just eat them together. Amazing.

MmmBlowholes · 18/09/2019 20:33

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who likes salt on toast.

Drink a beef stock cube in boiled water

Level75 · 18/09/2019 20:54

I don't do this any more, but I used to lick the flavour off crisps then wait until they were cold and soggy to eat them.

DifficultSituation19 · 18/09/2019 20:59

I like to snack on frozen peas. I also quite like dried pasta.

milleniumhandandprawn · 18/09/2019 21:14

Raw mince, raw bacon,
(Frozen sausages gave also been known)

Mushrooms chopped up, put in a frying pan with so much lemon juice that they float, then reduce until the mushrooms end up crispy... sooooooo sour and lovely!

Bacon flavour salad sprinkles, straight from the bag with loads of lime juice and a bit of salt.

Butter on its own. - can't believe no ones said that yet!

Vinegar on it's own like a shot.

The parsons nose bit of a roast chicken.

Salt and vinegar Pringles used to sandwich a piece of dairy milk.

Also chewed up pringles sandwiched between two more Pringles.
Usefully this can then be the filling for another sandwich.

Ham, cottage cheese, grapes, peanuts and pickled onions. All in a hollowed put piece of French stick.... amazing!

Pussysgalore · 18/09/2019 21:15

Cheese and potato pie, boiled potato with shit loads of grated cheese in a large Pyrex dish. Then cover with an oxo cube ( or 2 ) in boiling water.. bang in the oven for half an hour.
Major comfort food that all the women in my family have made for generations.. best served piping hot with salt and chunks of crusty bread.. yum!

neonglow · 18/09/2019 21:18

Grated cheese, peanut butter and ketchup in a sandwich is such a magical combination!

Lowlandlucky · 18/09/2019 21:20

robarc i thought it was only me who drank pickle juice, gorgeous isnt it

NearlyGranny · 18/09/2019 21:22

At children's parties in my Australian childhood the used to serve fairy bread, which was white bread and butter with hundreds and thousands sprinkled on. Haven't had that in a long time. The poverty packed lunch for some kids was a sugar sandwich, but I got - and still love to eat - cheese and vegemite!

uniquehornsonly · 18/09/2019 21:24

Toasted cheese sandwich with lime pickle. Vintage cheddar is the best. Sliced tomato optional. Mmm...

leaserspottedmummybird · 18/09/2019 21:24

I like digestive buscuits and oaty biscuits with butter on them ( is that weird?)

leaserspottedmummybird · 18/09/2019 21:25

@easyandy101 raw potatoes? Confused

BertieBotts · 18/09/2019 21:28

Pizza with no kind of cheese on it. It's funny because as veganism becomes more popular this is seen as less weird these days but I've had some odd reactions to my "cheeseless pizza" as one co-worker used to refer to it as (in an amazed/appalled tone) :o I've also had pizza delivery places phone me up to confirm that I really meant to order it (which I prefer to it actually turning up with cheese all over it when they have just decided I must be wrong, which has also happened.)

Cheese upsets my stomach so I just don't eat it at all. I never had takeaway or restaurant pizza until I was 23, because it didn't occur to me that I could just order it without cheese on.

DaWeasleyWae · 18/09/2019 21:32

Not unusual to me, but jam and cheese on a well buttered, hot crumpet is utterly devine! Yet people think im bonkers.

lotusbell · 18/09/2019 21:33

@AgeLikeWine, I love this too. Not a huge fan of mackerel fresh as I find the taste too strong but in a tin, with tomato sauce (dont even like ketchup or tomato soup), I love it!

I like anchovies in oil, from the deli. Fried onion butties. Cold pasta bake. A mug of custard. I had a friend at uni who would buy those little jars of cockles from our corner shop and just munch on them all evening!
This thread is both revolting and inspirational! Grin

DaWeasleyWae · 18/09/2019 21:35

Also, fish cake and mushy pea sandwiches with salad cream,
cherry cake with butter and cheese, digestives with butter and cheese.. Tbf, is the anything that a bit of butter and cheese can't spruce up?
