Share with me your favourite basic comfort foods for no reason other than I just ate some crackers with butter and was struck by how delicious it was. I'm thinking say 3-4 ingredients max.

I'll start with:

White toast, salted butter
In similar vein, Jacobs cracker with salted butter
Jacket potato, salted butter
Crumpet, nutella
Toast, butter, baked beans

Okay slightly over the ingredients number but a fish finger sandwich
white bread (cheap!) butter, fish fingers, cheese (cheap plastic cheese slices!) and sweet chill sauce 🤤 😋

@nonevernotever
you are the first person I met outside my family who eats ‘rice and cheese’ !

I used to make this regularly. I always used brown rice and added sautéed onion

Mmm that sounds good @Thighdentitycrisis it's more ingredients than we're allowed here, but I also love a vegetarian version of lemon chicken and tomato rice bake using brown rice, stock, cherry tomatoes, onion garlic and peppers baked in the oven and adding halloumi or tofu marinated in oil,herbs, lemon juice and zestat the halfway point.

I love so many of these, but they are all better with cheese. Well, almost all. Maybe not the banana custard or the crumpets and Nutella.

Whenisitwineoclocktime · 03/02/2023 23:02

Fried egg sandwich
Mashed potato - just on its own, I love mash!

LicoricePizza · 04/02/2023 00:54

Banana on toast
Banana Sandwich
Fishfinger sandwich
Wholegrain mustard & butter mash

I don't know whether to give this one up or not in case there is a shortage. This - with buttered toast dipped in. 😂

@MrsGhandi with you on that one but only had the M&S one on buttered toast - used to have as a kid. Will check out Sainsbury’s (might be cheaper!)
