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.

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

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.

Salt and Vinegar Pringles

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

Greggs cheese and onion pasty with baked beans ?

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

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

Scottiebear Mon 25-Jul-22 16:54:41

Ha ha. Should say Mmm.

Scottiebear Mon 25-Jul-22 16:54:19

Salted caramel ice cream. Mummy.

Kate1949 Mon 25-Jul-22 16:33:57

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.

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

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

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

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 ??

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??

Shawarma with Turkish chili sauce

McDonalds chicken nuggets with fries and a smarties Mc flurry.

Seabreeze Mon 25-Jul-22 13:49:30

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