Nutella with a spoon..

How are some of these considered unhealthy?? Only on Mumsnet 😂 carrots sticks, hummus, cheese, peanut butter....
Most of this features in my daily eating.

For me, it's Indian takeaway. Not necessarily unhealthy as it's all cooked fresh (not the greasy stuff you get in some places). It's delicious but we only order it every other month or so.

I also love cake and now that's a treat. Proper indulgent, rich, moreish chocolate cake. Couldn't eat it every day but when I get a specific craving bfor it, by god do I enjoy it and saviour it.

Salt and vinegar kettle chip crisps
Chocolate fudge cake
Fries dipped in mayo
Ben and Jerry (most flavours, not too fussy)
Lots and lots of cheese! 🤤

Staywithmemyblood · 24/04/2020 13:40

Oh my goodness, soooo many to choose from!

Savoury: chilli heatwave doritos with Philadelphia cheese mixed with sweet chilli to dip. Salt and vinegar pringles, even though they make the skin peel inside my mouth I can't stop eating them 🙊 Deep pan pepperoni pizza, chicken fried rice, chicken chasni. Once the fast food chains reopen I'm looking forward to McDonald's Big Mac (or quarter pounder with cheese), KFC zinger tower burger, starbucks all day breakfast roll.

Sweet: peanut butter chunky kit Kat, fries peppermint creme, family sized bar of Cadbury's caramel, s'mores (2 chocolate digestives with large marshmallow in the middle, pop in microwave for about 10 secs), croissants - either with butter and jam or, if I can wait a bit longer, with stewed apple and cinnamon and a big skoosh of cream. And cake, especially lemon drizzle cake, or Victoria sponge as long as there's lots of buttercream and jam filling. Oh, and lemon meringue pie, served warm with lots of single cream - delicious!

No wonder I've outgrown most of the clothes in my wardrobe! 🤦🏻‍♀️🏠🍫🍰

Beer. I absolutely love the stuff and, unfortunately for my waistline, the variety of interesting beers now available is bigger & better than it has ever been.

IHaveAMagicBean · 24/04/2020 13:58

Pringles.
Haribo starmix.
Malteasers.
Twiglets.
Cheese, cheese, cheese.

I’m diabetic so rarely have any of my favourite naughty snacks except cheese.

WhyCantIthinkOfAgoodOne · 24/04/2020 13:58

Mexican food covered in sour cream

Full English breakfast (must have loads of bacon, fried mushrooms, beans, fried bread, fried eggs, hash browns)

Proper Belgian Pomme Frites with loads of salt mayo and ketchup

Tuna melt with mozarella, tabasco sauce and salt and vinega crisps.

Posh Chinese food from a really nice restaurant.

MotherofKitties · 24/04/2020 14:01

Chocolate. All the Cadbury's chocolate. Fridge cold with a cup of tea, mmmmmm....

An Indian or Chinese takeaway.

Cake - Chocolate, Madeira with Jane and cream, or lemon drizzle

Waffles and ice cream

Steak with an insane amount of blue cheese sauce and chips

God I'm starving...

MotherofKitties · 24/04/2020 14:03

And Pepsi Max. Don't know why but I prefer it to the full fat version and it feels like a treat when I have it

SerenDippitty · 24/04/2020 14:04

Cornish wafers and butter puffs
Croissants
Cheese, cheese, cheese

Chippy chips

lazylinguist · 24/04/2020 14:07

A big slice of homemade cake with a cup of loose leaf tea.

Ice cream with Nigella's chocolate peanut butter fudge sundae sauce. It's unbelievably delicious and eye-wateringly, artery-cloggingly unhealthy.

lastqueenofscotland · 24/04/2020 14:08

Alcohol

I can take or leave unhealthy food. I’m not really a snacker.

Beer/gin/wine/cider/prosecco/aperol etc etc however I love

Eggybread sausage sandwich 🥪 with bbq sauce
Sausage sandwich on thick sliced crusty bread with salted butter

Freshly cooked sugar donuts with chocolate dipping sauce 🍩

When I have had a very bad day (and am not pregnant) I will lie in a very bubbly bath and consume the following:
Very cold very dry white wine
Salt and vinegar Pringles
dipped in tzatziki

I will also be burning candles, listening to music and undisturbable until either the bottle is empty or my mood lifts. Game changer.

Shannith · 24/04/2020 14:16

Good vanilla ice cream with added...

Nutella
Nuts
Peanut butter
Smashed up dark digestives and lotus biscuits
Double cream
Golden syrup
Full fat Greek yogurt

All together. Last time I made it I ate a litre of ice cream so I don't do that often. Probably twice a year. Well maybe three.
