Porridge with cream. Had it on Sunday with some stewed rhubarb. Sensational.

It was egg and chips that started my weight problems at 16.

A bacon buttie,loads of bacon ,no butter.

Fish Finger sandwich - with white crusty bread.
Failing that - crackers with loads of different cheeses but mostly gooey ones.

DH would chose my steak & kidney pie with flaky pastry -which is really more kidney & steak.

Basically, anything that is exceedingly fattening!! And I have to say that looking through your lists, most of the 'comfort foods' given fall into this category lol

I also forgot to mention I am type 2 diabetic and should have plenty of vegetables but it is such a bother trying to prepare them. Bags of frozen vegs are useful.

Poached eggs on toast

Mine is tea and toast. When we've been away in holiday I crave tea and toast and husband longs for a hot curry.

I cannot stand at the cooker for more than a few minutes at a time so I often think of something I would fancy for lunch and even have it to hand but cant bring myself to stand long enough to cook it. Therefore I finish up with ready made soup and a sandwich. Any suggestions for a really quick but tasty lunch would be very welcome

Egg and chips or fish and chips from chip shop or spag Bol with garlic bread ?

Had to think about this as so many foods I used to eat as a vegetarian I won't eat now I am vegan. So it has to be peanut butter on toast. Oh and the spoonful or two while waiting for the toast to brown. Mind you...the taste of it slightly melted on the hot toast is even better. Oh dear on a roll now... Avocado on toast with sliced cherry tomatoes and chilly flakes...moorish

Soft boiled egg and toast or egg and cress sandwiches.

Rapunzel100 Mon 08-Apr-19 11:57:24

Bread and butter pudding every time!

Mollygo Mon 08-Apr-19 11:50:54

Porridge-with a swirl of syrup any time of day.
Cauliflower cheese lunch or evening.

Rice pudding with blackcurrant jam!

Cooked mashed potato, grated cheese on top, and popped under the grill until it's all bubbly and light brown. Yum! Think I fancy some right now!!

Nanny27 Mon 08-Apr-19 11:45:07

Pancakes with lemon and brown sugar. Not a hint of goodness in it anywhere!

Annofarabia Mon 08-Apr-19 11:44:01

Are you a cheeseaholic? Lol!

whywhywhy Mon 08-Apr-19 11:37:00

Mine is homemade chips with fried egg, hence my size, haha! x

winterwhite Mon 08-Apr-19 11:32:51

Crusty white bread with butter and stiff honey, or tomato sandwiches made with ditto bread and butter.
Or if cooking is involved, Heinz tomato soup, mashed potato.

Kim19 Mon 08-Apr-19 11:30:05

Fried egg or bacon roll does it every time.

Shalene777 Mon 08-Apr-19 11:26:45

Hot buttered toast

pamdixon Mon 08-Apr-19 11:22:56

roast chicken and roast potatoes (cooked by me of course) or boiled egg and soldiers

Gizmogranny Mon 08-Apr-19 11:20:21

A large plate of golden brown real chips with loads of salt and HP brown sauce ? with a slice of white bread spread with a generous amount of butter. I taste a chip buttie coming on......

Like you annodomini-macaroni cheese . I’m just thinking off heading to a store in town ,where they do a great mac
.and cheese. Just hope it’s on their menu today.
The other temptation is chocolate -not good.
