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.

Curry super noodles with a couple of eggs cracked into them and poached by putting the saucepan lid on, then served with a topping of grated cheese

Condensed milk straight from the tin with a spoon.

Try going via a frying pan 🤤

Maltesers are my danger food.

I've never had enough in my possession to find out what the limit is. I've eaten 1.2kg in one day, more than once.

I'm a proper slag for cheese so a goats cheese tart with a side of the most creamy, garlicky dauphinoise you can imagine.

Slag for cheese 🤣🤣🤣🤣

God this thread is brutal. I'm on a diet and I'm sat here salivating.

Thick slice of white bread
Lots of butter
4 fish fingers
Ketchup
More bread and butter
Press down to squash the sandwich a bit

Or repeat but with chips instead of fish fingers.

😋😋😋

Corned beef sandwich in plastic white bread with loads of BBQ sauce - it’s amazing

TeamPolin · 28/05/2024 17:20

An old-school bacon butty with brown sauce is hard to beat...

Mini McFlurry yum

Oh god yes.

Corned beef and onion sandwich.

TeamPolin · 28/05/2024 17:21

Also, a Maccie D sausage and egg McMuffin. When I was pregnant they were SO delicious. I used to dream about them 😂

Kraft cheesy pasta, the one in the red box. What a treat!

This!

It's so hard to find now where I live, it always feels like a real win when I buy some! 😂

YouAndMeAndThem · 28/05/2024 17:28

The TGIs BBQ chicken strips you get on Iceland. If I'm on my own for tea (very rare!!) I'll just have a box of them with a glass of wine 😂

harriethoyle · 28/05/2024 17:29

Weetabix spread with butter and marmite. I can eat 4 in a go. I love them. I've never met anyone else who does and my DSD are utterly horrified when I succumb 😂

marmaladeandpeanutbutter · 28/05/2024 17:29

Vanilla ice cream.

PossumintheHouse · 28/05/2024 17:32

Wish I hadn't opened this thread, I have tons of dirty options to resist.

Chips with loads of cheese and cheap gravy
Chips with loads of cheese and chip shop curry sauce
Big Mac with extra pickles and sauce
Supernoodles
Large lamb shish kebab with all the salad and chilli sauce and garlic mayo.
Pizza with ham, pineapple, jalapeños and extra cheese
Microwave popcorn drenched in butter to the point where your fingers become a greasy mess
Massive sushi platter that I'll scoff without any thought to the calories (That one is more dirty quantity than quality)

I'll also watch ridiculous Mukbangs if I'm hungry but trying to be healthy.

Oh god same. Far prefer them to full blown chocolate and have demolished an alleged share bag on more than one occasion like a *proper fatty.

(*I am one, so I can say it)

BusyMummy001 · 28/05/2024 17:36

Cornflakes with the cream off the top off a traditional bottle of full fat milk and a shit load of sugar…

I'm with you on the Pot Noodles - that with a diet coke. I swear it's a hangover cure.

My mum used to only buy there for me if i was ill (weird time to buy me food with zero nutritional value, but there's the eighties for you!).

I also used to love the mini kievs stuffed with cheese, but you always had to cook them just under the recommended time otherwise they'd explode and just be hollow chicken bites.......

I buy them for my kids now when they’re ill! I think it’s the salt & zero nutritional value but they ask for one every time. I won’t let them eat them any other time - that and lucozade 😂

Another here for McDonald’s double cheeseburger with extra pickles!

Potato smiles or waffles, tinned spaghetti hoops and enough salt and vinegar to kill a person. Oh my god 😩

Fried bacon grill (from a tin) slices in cheap white buttered bread, with loads of ketchup on the side

I had never heard of bacon grill until I was pregnant with my younger child years ago and it was Christmas morning at my in-laws. Literally everything I’d tried to eat for weeks made me heave and I was feeling really sad our usual smoked salmon had knocked me sick. My FIL fried up bacon grill, put it on a sandwich with ketchup and oh my goodness it was the best thing I’d ever eaten 😂

bonzaitree · 28/05/2024 18:02

Pot noodles but the Asian brands from the Chinese supermarket.

msgggggggggg

pinkhorsesarentunicorns · 28/05/2024 18:02

Cheese hamwiches (I.e. mashed up turkey, fake cheese and breadcrumbs) with extra melted cheese on top used to be mine, closely followed by those cheesy tuc biscuits with the filling.

Unfortunately gall bladder surgery has put paid to that. Somehow a Pink Lady apple which I do enjoy just isn't the same
