Filthy food habit… and what’s yours?

Not talking Biscoff straight from the jar here… its so low-level I’m compelled to post (with NC) so to expose the guilt/be shamed out of it.

Maggi noodles eaten dry, from the packet, with the seasoning sprinkled into them. Preferably chow mein flavour. But eaten in bed. Last night the flavouring went on my sheets which may or may not have been a turning point.

What’s your secret filthy food habit?

Um oh.

For the buttered Weetabix try butter topped with golden syrup. Mix it together on the Weetabix to be a bit caramelly. Used to do that as a kid.

I'm rather fond of a good camembert or brie with plain salted crisps and quince paste. Occasionally add salami or pepperoni.

Also rather partial to day old macaroni and cheese with tomato sauce.

Dessert - try an nice ice cream, smashed up tim tams and crumbled flake all smooshed together.

I also rather like soggy / stale fruit tingles - so much better soft than crunchy.

Another thing I loved as a kid was the boiled fruit for a fruit cake when it had the butter and baking soda.

Oh, forgot cooked piklets, still hot, dipped in piklet batter.

IGuessIllbetheFirst · 22/06/2024 07:08

I get a tin of sweet sweetcorn, a jar of pickled onions and a big pack of hula hoops. One mouthful = big fork of sweetcorn, 2 pickled onions and 3 hula hoops is the perfect combination (having experimented many times).

Marmite and banana sandwiches on cheap white bread. Used to seem really strange but now the make marmite peanut butter not so much.

Crispy bacon bits and mashed banana on toast used to be another favourite.

When I’m unwell, my comfort food is a packet of microwave rice, a few chunks of corned beef, and instant gravy mixed up in a bowl with plenty of black pepper. It’s filthy, but sometimes needs must.

In the nicest way possible, thinking of that made me feel unwell😂

Oh well ...
Packets and packets of Extra strong mints, to the point of replacing meals.
Not overweight and not diabetic, but aware it's bonkers.

Sourdough bread sandwich with mayonnaise and balsamic glaze

As a student I loved Ambrosia creamed rice on toast. I so want some now (but can't get Ambrosia where I am).

Incidentally, here and in some other countries what is basically bacon (back bacon minus the rind) is routinely eaten raw. Love it

MrsToothyBitch · 22/06/2024 08:02

White bread spread thickly with heinz burger sauce. It MUST be heinz.

I thought I was the only disgusting bastard to do that!

See also:

Crunchy Nut Cornflakes... served with cream, not milk. Not milk AND cream. Just cream.

Deep fried chunks of tinned croissant dough, rolled in sugar. Makes enough to serve 6 at least. Is consumed by the two of us, til we feel very very sick.

This week... we got Krispy Kreme plain glazed rings... and stuck them on the waffle iron. They come out caramelized and crunchy on the outside. Heaven.

Other adventures with the Breville 3 in 1 include the Panini'd Cheeseburger (make a cheeseburger on a brioche bun, no salad obvs, hot salad is gross, pop it in the panini maker, goes all crunchy on the outside, soft and cheeseburgery in the middle.

My finest creation yet however, remains the Bread and Butter Pudding Toastie..

White bread - sultanas and shredded bread, cinnamon, custard filling - in the toastie maker and then dredge with cinnamon sugar when it comes out. chefs kiss

I am also partial to a potato salad and salami sandwich made on hot buttered toast. Crunchy and soft, creamy and salty, hot and cold - delicious, but messy.

Used to work in a shop with a big deck oven and would partially defrost croissants and stuff them with whatever chocolate bar and put them back in the oven

Your list sounds absolutely mint

Brown sauce sandwiches, made with plenty of butter.

Brown sauce on toast is even better

gocompare · 22/06/2024 19:58

Chips, chopped pork, cheap white bread real butter sandwich.

DM buys the awful square reformed ham... takes a slice and makes it into a cone shape... then fills it with vinegar. Then she posts it into her mouth.

That sounds gorgeous

gocompare · 22/06/2024 20:02

@Rattenbury
That pot mash was in the shops when I was in the army 25 years ago. I used to take it instead of the ration packs. It was lovely the onion one.

I'm genuinely worried about some of your hearts ShockShockShock

Slattern77 · 22/06/2024 20:43

I’m also not above inhaling KFC hot wings dipped in KFC gravy (the bomb). My friend has a very unflattering memory of me, drunk, putting the whole gravied hot wing in my mouth, and pulling out just bones on the way out. As a pp said, prison vibes
