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.

Where do I start smile
I'm addicted to Magnum lollies and lots of thing other grans have said.

Well, there's a box of Flapjackery bars - shelf life 2 months it says - who are they kidding.

Fruit and nut Chocolate.
The only time I have been in a McDonalds was to use their toilet.

Another vote for cheese and onion crisp sandwiches or chip shop chips on white bread and butter. I also love pork pies and pasties occasionally.

Salted caramel ice cream. Mummy.

Ha ha. Should say Mmm.

Cadburys Crème eggs. Good job they’re only available at certain times of the year.

Greggs cheese and onion pasty with baked beans ?

Almost everything everyone has said. Mostly at the moment it's Peppermint Aero.

J52 My day has been topsy turvy with slightly more for lunch than usual. Sitting wondering what I would eat in evening when I saw your post. Unusually have white bread and crisps (visitors essentials left from weekend) and cant wait to get that sandwich made. I'm off!

A Greggs Margherita pizza slice bought at the nearby drive through here. Only occasionally you understand.
Rather wonderful. Eaten in the car park with my dog following my hand to my mouth on every bite. Yum

Never eaten a McDonalds in my life. Hate the smell. But I have in the last year developed a liking for Hackney Gelato. I especially liked the mincemeat version of mince pies. Can’t wait for it to become available again. I do eat chips more often than I used to.

Pringles with a full fat coke or a big spoonful of Biscotti spread melted in the microwave over vanilla ice cream.

Sadly, don’t fancy any of that. When desperate, I have curry pot noodle but it doesn’t taste the same as years ago. Very uncurried. Not because I am a saint but prefer something fresh but made by someone else. LOL.

Now and then I buy a small, bog-standard white sliced loaf (instead of the usual seeded) and a pack of Dairylea triangles.

This goes back to when I was a child and my mother never bought Dairylea triangles - they were an occasional treat when at a granny’s house for tea.

I have been known to scoff a pack of 6 (or 8?) within a couple of hours.

Flapjackery bars look wicked, sandelf - would you consider sharing? ?
