Mayonnaise ( from a jar) and black pepper on cheese on toast. I know, sounds horrible, but is somehow delicious.

Horseradish in mashed potato.
Balsamic vinegar and small teaspoon of sugar in ragu, which should always be half beef mince, half pork mince.
Marmite or english mustard on toast before you put the cheese on when making cheese on toast.
Frozen grapes in drinks (tonic, gin, vodka etc) it chills the drink without diluting it.

When cooking the mince for cottage pie, add curry powder, just a hint and a tablespoon of mango chutney.
Gently fry thinly sliced leek in butter, stir into the mash potato before topping the mince.
Grated cheese on top before putting into the oven.

Last night I was listening to a Local Radio call in programme. The topic was ‘what do you add to your food or drink to give it that extra something’.

Examples
Worcestershire Sauce on cheese on toast.
A sprinkling of pepper on strawberries

My suggestion would be mint in cold water with ice on a hot summer’s day.

Over to you.
