To ask if you eat meals you'd never feed to guests but love?

[Exhausted4ever]

So, I adore this meal which is (very) broadly speaking a sausage cassorole, but is just sliced cooked Sausages and baked beans, mixed with gravy topped with sliced boiled potatoes with a bit of thicker gravy on top of them and cooked in thr oven for at least half an hour. It's soooooo good, proper comfort food. But I would never serve it to guests! Do you eat things you'd be too embarrassed to serve to guests but really like it yourself?

Cooked bacon and uncooked banana on fresh white bread.... yum!!! Or toasted sandwich.
If you’re South African you will know exactly how yum this is.

Yes!

A layer of tumeric and black pepper fried tofu on a plate, then on top, baked beans, followed by cheese and onion crisps and grated vegan cheese. This is the ultimate in comfort food!

Home-made cottage pie (left over from day before) with a tin of beans poured next to it and put in microwave. Lovely. Ideally eaten from the Pyrex bowl it was baked in.

Pasta, fried onions, butter, pepper and grated cheese

I practically lived on this when I was you g and single!

Most everyday meals I’d never serve to guests. Cottage pie, fish pie, roast dinner, bog standard curry, stir fry, anything with pasta, fajitas, chilli etc. I like them all, but it’s not guest food.

Cheese in milk. Heat a tasty cheddar in milk until the cheese goes gooey (don't let milk boil). Hot buttered toast for dipping. Bliss.

Of course! I assume everyone does this. Family meals: meat pie, potato hash, homemade fish and chips, spaghetti bolog, jacket potatoes and beans... etc
Dinner party: coq au vin, beef in wine, fish in white wine sauce... etc
No brainer 😊

Wig wams!

Basically Sausages, mash and baked beans piled into a mountain. So delicious but no one else in my house will eat it let alone guests. Was introduced by my step dad as a kid.

@Tartyflette

Ahem. Tartiflette is a lovely regional French dish, much beloved in ski resorts as a hearty, warming après-ski meal. But not exactly posh. (Even with Reblochon, which you can get in Tescos.) Yours etc Tartyflette

It is delicious but lethal, I was in that region of France skiing about 4 years ago and I swear I put on about half a stone from the blinkin tartyflette/tartiflette. I would have had to ski to Austria to work it off.

Oven fries topped with tinned or leftover chilli and cheese baked in an oven dish until bubbly.

Packet of chicken super noodles. Cook a bit of whatever veg I have lying around, mix with noodles and handful of cheese, then chop up quote nuggets on top

Sweet potato oven chips, in a bowl, topped with enough salt that it's worthy of mention, grated cheese, spring onions and sriracha, with cherry toms/avo/cucumber on the side for health.

It's like ... a buddha bowl. Only more fun and less virtuous.

Scrambled eggs, in a toasted pitta, with chorizo, red onion and roast peppers. Add sriracha for dipping.

Also really really enjoy a large plate of hot roast char sui belly pork. Nothing else. Would serve to guests, just not in the quantities I eat it.

@MadameMinimes

Hey cheesy chip sister

that mean from the shoestring budget by Jack someone ,that's basically just a tin of peaches, a tin of chicpeas, a tin of tomatoes, garlic, onions, and chilli flakes and a couple of spices, cooked in a pan for a while. A sort of chick-pea curry, but it's really just tins of things together. I quite like it ,but then I like fruit with savoury dishes. I don't think I'd serve it to anyone else - when I've mentioned it to people, they're a bit horrified! It was my Brexit store-cupboard plan, so I have a few tins of peaches still to use up...

'thing' not 'mean'.

or plain pasta with blobs of butter stirred through and garlic salt sprinkled over. carb heaven. I do try not to do it often though.

little tin of tuna mixed with mayo, and then grated cheddar on top, under the broiler. Like a tuna melt but no bread. Looks weird, but when I'm trying to cut down on carbs, it's better. Everyone would think it weird if I served it. (would rather have the bread, and the pasta, hence the problem! I could eat pasta forever)

@AnaisNun I love any form of potato smothered in something and cheese. It’s the most comforting food in the world.

My OH makes a concoction of baked beans, a tin of tuna, raisins and curry powder all cooked together.

I always decline.

I, on the other hand, love leftover mashed potato sandwiches. Especially if the potato is warmed through so the butter in the bread melts a bit.

crisp sandwich - any crisp, any bread just carb me up bebe

Also plain pasta with baked beans on top kisses fingers

Yes to crisp sandwiches!

Crisps sandwiches are amazing

Potato waffle sandwiches, 2 waffles in a sandwich with cheese in between, mayo and ketchup..if I'm feeling"fancy" I will add a fried egg...

Also pasta and tinned soup with loads of cheese...

@bottleofvodka mmm fancy egg

Crisp sandwiches with a slice of plastic cheese on!

Aren't you being just as pretentious, refusing to associate with a group of people. Not all posh people are going to sneer at you, it's just a way of being brought up
