To think that simple foods are often forgotten and underrated.

[NotWaitingPatiently]

I don't really eat much sweet stuff but I really fancied something tonight, so I made some pancakes. Took about 15 mins, so quick and cheap. We had them with lemon and sugar....mmmm
Nothing fancy ....but delicious!

What is your simple and underrated favorite?

White toast, scrambled eggs & tinned spaghetti.

The simple perfection of a boiled egg and soldiers. SIGH. Maybe with marmite if you are hungover …..

Macaroni cheese, with its infinite variations.
Egg on toast.
Tuna and mayo sandwiches.
Egg mayo sandwiches.

About to eat an egg mayo sandwich with crispy streaky bacon and lettuce. And a big cuppa obv. Salivating.

I didnt know what egg mayo was growing up, I dont think my mum would have bought mayo, not sure she eats it now

So egg sandwiches were eggs, mashed up with butter. On love soft white bread.

I didnt know eggs got mashed with other things until I left home!!!

A bacon sandwich with HP Sauce.

Cheese toasted sandwich - though these days I posh it up & only ever make them with sourdough

I agree. Fried bread with hot tinned tomatoes on is hard to beat.

This morning, on hols in Europe, I fried a large tomato that was starting to ‘go’, and had it on toast. 😋

I LOVE that nobody has mentioned poxy brioche. I hate it

Beans on toast, sardines on toast, marmalade on toast, scrambled eggs…

We also didn’t have mayonnaise. My mum used to mash with a little milk! Then on white bread and butter.

I've just got hold of some Marmite, after nearly a year and a half of deprivation! I'm not in the UK and it's quite rare and quite dear here, so I'm rediscovering the joy of well-cooked toast with copious amounts of butter and Marmite, sometimes with cooked tomatoes or mushrooms on top.

I recently found out that there is a Swiss invention called Cenovis also sold as Sonaris in other European countries which is very similar to Marmite.

You would never guess what is was by the packaging of it though. Your best guess would be some kind of herbal toothpaste when it's in a tube or a weird kind of pine needle tea when it's in a jar.

Me too. Sweet air filled muck spreading to cafes and restaurants like a bloody virus

Gala pie with HP sauce.
Chopped ham (Spam ) sandwich with HP sauce.
Ham egg and chips.
Fish finger sandwich.

This is my favourite Friday night supper.

Ooh thanks, I'll keep an eye out for it at the shops! Aldi seems like they might have it.

Honestly, lasagne and chips is my favourite meal in the world. I’m almost ashamed to admit it because it’s so basic and the chips element so vulgar I guess but it’s fucking delicious.

God, I used to love Tartex paste sandwiches. It was a vegetarian spread which is quite difficult to get now, Holland and Barrett used to sell it. Such a simple meal, with a bowl of soup, tomato or home-made.

Vesta Beef Risotto

I liked the Vesta Beef Chow Mein with the the crispy things you fried.
Also corned beef fritters with ketchup or mustard.
