Whether very occasional or not, what’s yours?

A ‘very occasional’ one of mine came to mind since I just nipped to the corner shop for onions, needed for dinner* tonight, and (feeling peckish anyway) succumbed to curry flavour instant noodles - two packs! I’m about to scoff one for lunch.

*a very healthy Greek style green bean and tomato stew, now in the slow cooker.

It's hard to confine yourself to just one slice GagaJo and I have little self restraint unless I really steel myself.

Bought individual steak pie made with white, very fatty pastry... a rare treat. Also an occasional white loaf. I mostly eat sourdough, wholegrain everything!

Greggs vegan doughnuts, had them once and crave more, they are delicious! I am not vegan!

Love a traditional pastie from Gregg's. And occasionally (once a a year?) An extra long sausage roll.

Five Guys burger is to die for. Thankfully I don’t live near one or I would be broke and larger than I am now!

Pizza, if that can be considered junk food.

A McDonald's chicken legend meal, fries and dippers with Salsa sauce goes down very well for me

Aberdeen rowies or butteries... They are a bit like croissants but flat and very buttery. They were given to fisherman to keep them going at sea.... I love them hot, dripping with honey and added butter.

I’m with Pantglas2. I love KFC but don’t live near to one, so I sneak in if I am away near a branch.

McChicken sandwich and fries or a Greggs sausage roll, just the thought makes me drool. Haven’t had the former for three years and only had the latter at home courtesy of Iceland occasionally… half a one with a salad.

Pasta n Sauce, packet from the supermarket at 2-3am. I have an unusual health condition which when it hits uses up lots of energy...weirdly. So my go to guilty secret is a packet of this in the microwave...only my OH knows ;) except all or you now blush

Carrs pasties, its a Bolton thing!!

Ellymae Mon 25-Jul-22 13:06:00

Trifle for me

Ellymae Mon 25-Jul-22 13:06:27

Trifle for me, but no cream and lots of cold custard.

Dcba Mon 25-Jul-22 13:07:15

Home made jam tart, custard and icecream

MooM00 Mon 25-Jul-22 13:30:43

A nice fresh custard doughnut with a cup of tea.

Some years ago DH was in the Heart Hospital in Marylebone where had had major open heart surgery replacing his aortic valve and repairing an aortic aneurysm.
On my way home from visiting him each evening - bearing cardiac health very much in mind - I would treat myself to a “dirty burger” from Burger King at Euston station ??

Grandma Trisha.
Oh yes, can’t beat it. Perhaps a McFlurry afterwards. ( rarely ) ?.

nipsmum Mon 25-Jul-22 13:58:20

McDonalds chicken nuggets with fries and a smarties Mc flurry.

grandtanteJE65 Mon 25-Jul-22 14:23:54

Shawarma with Turkish chili sauce

Just think, Maw, we might have been sat on the same bench on Euston concourse, furtively devouring our Burger King Whoppas?.

Up til 2018, with increasing frequency, I used to stuff my face treat myself to a Big Whoppa Meal on my commute to care for my mother. Always a bit 'low' at what I was leaving behind, these used to cheer me no end!

And the 'free fries' offer if you returned within the month??

Nearly always stop on the motorway on way to visit relatives and I get a Mcdonald cheeseburger happy meal. DGC loves the toy after I've eaten the meal. Get OJ with it for them too.
Around once a month usually
