Eccentric (not X-rated) Food ? ?

I still like chip butties but don't eat them very often. I also like cheese with fruit cake - a Yorkshire tradition I believe.

Rich tea biscuits and currants.

Yes, chip butties, yum, two carbing.
I had a Portuguese friend who was literally gobsmacked and horrified that such a thing even existed, let alone was widely available in UK pubs.

Creamcrackers , topped with butter and jam

Weetabix spread with butter and marmalade, if I haven't got time to wait for toast to cook ?

Cream crackers with cheese and ketchup.

Fish paste sandwiches. Dry Weetabix buttered. Cheese and onion crisps sandwiches on white bread.

Snap (almost) v3ra

Cream crackers are getting a lot of love

I had another friend who smothered everything in Sainsbury’s blue cheese sauce.
DH’s friend does the same with brown sauce

Cold baked beans. Mmmm yes to fish paste or crisp sandwiches. Tinned mushy peas. Toasted cheese sandwiches with microwaved cheese (not often, they're artery clogging).

Chip shop chips and Chinese takeaway chow mein (again, very very rarely, arteries can't take the grease).

GagaJo I love cheese toasties done in the toastie machine.
And with Heinz tomato soup.
I haven’t had one for years

Well we are watching James Martins show atm and they were doing an apple puree wth celeriac something or other and I said to my husband, sounds the perfect constipation cure, not sure I'd want t in a restaurant.

My Stepdad is obsessed with that Idahoan mash

I like tinned tomto soup with melted grated cheese on top

Digestive biscuits spread with butter

Frozen peas straight from the packet

What a great thread.

Grace Dent who writes very good restaurant reviews in the Guardian has created a series of Podcasts called Comfort Eating.
She interviews (comparatively) well known people about their favourite comfort foods. These have included Krishnan Guru Murthy (C4 News) whose favourite student comfort food was rice pudding straight from the tin, and Deborah Meadon (Dragons Den), who loves sausages spread with marmite!

Grace’s Podcasts are a fun listen and you can find them at Guardian Podcasts or Apple Podcasts. Sorry I can’t attach a link.

My favourite is marmite and butter in a baked potato ?

Does anyone remember the date and tinned orange segments on brown bread sandwiches ? The height of sophitication in the late 50s ?

Callistemon my mom used to eat frozen peas like that.
I’ve since learned that dogs really like them too, even my little dog who carefully spits out all of the bits of veg in her wet food

aggie

Wow! Never heard of that!

Oh me too, with the toastie machine. So much so I won't buy one, because I know I'd given in to eating one every night.

*I'd give

Yes Jo, I’ve been through that phase too

I don't eat a lot of frozen peas, FannyC, just a few if I open the packet; they taste different frozen!
I know another gransnetter used to do that too but she hasn't posted for ages, more's the pity. I need a frozen pea ally!

Yes, they’re really sweet

Callistemon ... I am going to try frozen peas straight from the packet, the next time I use them ... I may become your FP ally!

Oh yes, do, Nortsat!

I'm beginning to feel rather alone on this thread (apart from FannyC's dog.
