To ask your filthy guilty pleasure food

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.

Tube of pringles for dinner (green ones preferably).

Only happens once or twice a year!

A huge pile of Bird's Eye Chicken Dippers absolutely DROWNED in Frank's Buffalo Hot Sauce, then dipped in Saint Agur Blue Cheese Creme. Kind of like a take on TGI Friday's boneless buffalo bites.

My mouth is now watering thinking about this!

McDonalds sausage and egg McMuffin.
Fortunately only ever near enough to a McDonalds first thing in the morning about once a year but when I am it's an absolute moment of bliss.

Other than that it's dipping buttered white bread into a chicken and mushroom pot noodle.

Mayflower chips and curry sauce. 2 slices of thick white Warburton's slathered in real salted butter, a few pickled onions and some coke. Absolutely bloody filthy!! 🤫🤤

bread and dripping

That's..... Just fairly normal

Not where I live… we need to eat this at home with the curtains drawn.

I’m pretty sure I can hear my mother and grandmother turning in their graves while I enjoy my messy dinner

I was thinking this the other week. I used to adore certain things, e.g. spicy crisps and dairy milk. Now I find I don't love anything anymore! Last night I had a piece of dairy milk, and thought that's nice. But I didn't love it or want any more. Anyone else find this happen to them too?

Yes. I was quite ill last year and couldn't really eat for a long time. Since then, I eat but I don't really care for it. I have zero cravings.

Double cream on muesli (with milk)

@ArcticBells this is mine too. This morning I had granola with some stewed rhubarb and half a tub of clotted cream for breakfast (needed using! ) We don't have cream in the house that often but I'll always finish it off on my cereal with or without milk depending on how much cream is left.

Corned beef and prawn cocktail walkers in a sandwich on cheap white bread. It was a huge pregnancy craving of mine!

Peanut butter and pickled spicy gherkins or pickled jalapeños sandwich.

That’s genius. I want to try this right now!

A plain digestive with cream cheese on is great. Supernoodles but put in a dish and topped with ham and cheese then grilled, really good.

Reading about the PP with double gherkins, dh and I came back quite drunk from a very rare night out a few months ago and ordered McDonald's. We got someone else's order which contained a big mac with extra gherkins and extra raw onion. What kind of wrongun adds extra raw onion!? I hate raw onion but even dh thought it was an abomination.

Beaakindd · 28/05/2024 14:33

I get some crisps and squeeze a little bit of mayo on each one 🫣🫣
Choc spead straight from jar!

For all the people adding apricot jam to their cheese and bacon…I can highly recommend mango chutney as an alternative.

Or marmalade.

KreedKafer · 28/05/2024 14:51

Blarn · 28/05/2024 14:33

Or marmalade.

My grandparents used to serve blackcurrant jam with kippers.

Still no idea whether this was just them being incredibly fucking weird, or whether this was a thing accepted as normal among people who grew up in slums in the 1910s.

It's really nice though.

AtleastitsnotMonday · 28/05/2024 14:53

Mc Cain frozen potato smilies with lashings of Lee & Perins. Haven't had them for years though.
One that I've had a lot more recently, M&S bacon rashers crisps. (Not actually crisps, I think they're made of maize or something. I thought they'd be like Frazzles but they're kind of airy.) Whatever they're made of they're bloody delicious!

Ham and pringle sandwich on white bread with plenty of good butter. A once a year treat though I did have some pringles over the weekend.

Small loaf hollowed out, goat curry inside fuck loads of spices. Or cheesecake or a cheeseboard I can smash a cheese board easily 🤣

There's absolutely I excuse for eating Goats. That's appalling 💔
