To ask your filthy guilty pleasure food

[FrogandTrumpet]

The cake thread got me thinking - what’s your guilty pleasure food? Something that you objectively know is total rubbish but which you can’t get enough of.

I hold my hands up to liking chicken and sweetcorn pot noodles. I very very rarely have one but just occasionally, I do get the urge.

Also, dirt cheap takeaway pizza. The kind with non-specific tasteless cheese and tomato puree.

My go to is poppadoms. I will call into my local Indian and order 8 along with the raw onion and sauces. Not exactly filth but so comforting and lovely.

This is such a good idea! So yummy.

Ultra fresh white bread chicken paste sandwiches with cheese and onion crisps inside as a filling. 🤪

I just bought a tin of semolina and I'm going to eat it straight from the can!

Sharing bag of cheese puffs, left out until chewy.

supermarket scotch eggs with Branston Pickle

& really really rubbish - one of those rustlers microwave cheeseburgers.

Angel delight

My cousin used to call this a one eyed Egyptian because the hole he cut in the bread was triangular.

Pop Tarts

Friday night was always curry night in our house so Saturday breakfast would be hot buttered white toast topped with cold leftover curry. Yum :)

Otherwise ...
Marmite and crisp sandwiches (ready salted or cheese and onion)
Wotsit and salad cream sandwiches
Vanilla ice cream topped with crushed chocolate digestives and sprinkled with Cadbury's hot chocolate powder (haven't had this for years and thankfully don't have any of the ingredients to hand!)

My friends Mum used to make us Weetabix spread with thick butter and strawberry jam for after school snack, with a glass of cold milk! Just brought back that memory!

Rustlers burgers.
I know a burger all assembled at home is nicer, but it is too expensive and too much faff.
Give me a Rustlers any day. I add a load of onion to them too.

A sliced up apple, a wedge of cheese and a huge chunk of white bread and butter

Chicken dippers and tomato sauce

Mcdonalds chicken nuggets

Pop tarts that are a little bit burned around the edge.

Cocktail sausages

Frozen chicken Kievs

Donner meat

Takeaway pizza. Like the local, only go in there if you're really drunk and there are literally no other food options kind. Eat 2 slices, pass out and have the rest with an ice cold full fat Coke for breakfast the next morning.

By any chance do you teach an aerobics class to bad wedding reception music in the North West? Is your surname ChainLane?

I would do this but my local now charges £1 a poppadom!

Or salmon paste with salt and vinegar Crisps.

I also submit hot sausage and cottage cheese sandwiches. Soooo good.

Cheap white bread (warburtons is best) with dairy Lea (too much dairy Lea) and salt & vinegar crisps. This is my go to dinner when my husband is out (thankfully not too often 😂) with a great glass of red and a whole family sized bar of dairy milk.

Corned beef and ketchup sandwiches. Again has to be crappy UPF white bread. My husband reminded me of this yesterday and I can’t stop thinking about it

I love pop tarts but they have to be un-toasted.

Crisp sandwich, chocolate spread sandwich, jam sandwich all with plenty of butter.

Total junk and why I rarely buy bread these days

I have another one that you sadly cannot get any more. La Vache Qui Rit (aka Laughing Cow) used to make these tiny processed cheese cubes which came in different flavours. I remember tomato, garlic and blue cheese ones. I could eat hundreds of them. It was a bit of a ritual, pulling off the little silver wrappers and piling them up. I am very sad they are gone.

I've had a vomity virus since last night (it's now 9.30pm the next night) and was just contemplating something tasty to ease my nauseous-but-hungry stomach.

This thread had me dry retching and salivating at the same time. How is this possible? I've reviewed the options I have and can't decide between:

1. Oven potato gems (no chips) grated cheddar & packet gravy.

2. Frozen mash, frozen peas & corn with loads of butter/salt & ketchup. Yes this is a thing.

3. Heinz creamy tomato soup, but I've no crappy white bread for dunking.

Hard decisions

In France, we have Apéricubes which are essentially the same thing (I don't think it's the same brand as La Vache Qui Rit). In the supermarket aisle with hummus, olives and other (delicious, overpriced) refrigerated things for 'apéro' snacking, like gougères.

We used to be able to get Aperocubes from Ocado, along with several other nice French brands, but I'm not sure they still do them.

Some of these are just normal meals? Egg on toast, fish finger sandwich, pasta and garlic bread??

Pringles.
