Tuna with mayo mashed in, it’s just so lovely, isn’t it?!

Any other simple foods that are delish

Mashed pilchards in tomato sauce on toast.
Cheese and onion on toast.
Poached egg on toast.

If you have an Eastern European shop near you, can I recommend that you have a look in the Romanian section and treat yourselves to a jar of zacusca. It’s a delicious blend of tomatoes, aubergines, gogosari (like a sort of pepper) all cooked down together. Eat with a spoon straight from the jar. Some variations include mushrooms or other veg. But it’s predominantly peppers and aubergine.

There’s a Western Balkan equivalent called Ajvar.

Try tuna and cottage cheese - it’s honestly lovely, even if it sounds odd. It’s one of Weight Watchers early combos, from about the mid 80s I think!! If you don’t like the cottage cheese lumps you can blitz it smooth with a blender.

Ooh thanks I might give that a go. I love cottage cheese, as long as it’s Longley Farm.

cherry tomato, red onion and feta in a jacket potato with proper butter and a pinch of sea salt

And sweetcorn and a spot of whole grain mustard. Delicious

And there it is, someone always has to go and spoil it by adding the food of the devil that is sweetcorn 😂

Yes, how can it have any nutritional value when it just comes out as it went in?

It’s fibre. Helps sweep out your colon. Google tells me the shell passes through but the pulp inside is digested as it contains both soluble and insoluble fibre

Smallest dollop of Branston’s Pickle just elevates it to the extreme.

Good grief. What kind of monster are you?

Tuna mayo, spring onions and cucumber, utter heaven!

Echobelly · 24/04/2026 18:05

This thread made me eat tuna mayo on potato waffles for dinner last night! 😆

Tuna mayo with thinly sliced cucumber on wholemeal loaf.
Strawberries with cold custard.

I love it, but have been eating calorie deficit for a whole now and was HORRIFIED to find out how many calories mayonnaise actually contains (I didn't exactly think it was cucumber, but you know ...) – actually shocked.

That was a real bummer. I have the mayo light, but it's not the same :(

PS - tuna mayo, coriander, cucumber, tomatoes, pepper and lime juice + black pepper – yum

Mashed potato with a ton of butter or if available double cream!!!!

Impossible, thank heavens. My Albanian neighbour introduced me to it at a BBQ. It's delicious.

Similar is half a plate of tuna mayo, and the other half really buttery mash. No jacket potato skin, just the soft innards. Mush on mush, it's fantastic.

Oh. Em. Gee. Yes!
