  • Home-made pickled egg (or 2)eaten with a bag (or 2) of cheese & onion crisps. Very filling snack when I think I`m starving!
    Asda `instant` noodles - DGD`s favourite breakfast.

    I sometimes use frozen mash, mixed with half a tin of `easy` onions, topped with grated cheese and a few slices of tomato & toasted under the grill.

    Those chinese noodles. Like Pot Noodles, but asian http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=254462173
    Best comfort food ever. Good for hunger, good for hangover, and sometimes just for no reason what so ever!

    Youngs cod in butter or parsley sauce. With rice and peas on the side.

    Oh I have quite a few actually! Certain indian curry pastes or sauces from jars.
    Soups in a tin when nothing in the house to take to work for lunch. Heinz tomato is best.

    Fish fingers only go with ketchup and mashed potatoes!!;)
    My OH starred at me like I am mental (he has his with tartar sauce, he cannot stand ketchup) when I made it first, but then he agreed it is good!

    I shop on Weds evenings on my way out, pop into Mr M for essentials - and a look at the cream cake display. I never buy full priced ones, that would be extravagant! But there's usually something reduced and that's definitely mine. (Now the folk on the weight loss board will know why I put on a lb this week :o)

    That's the same brand as the tom yum-flavour ones I was talking about earlier in the thread - and here they are! I might have to take a detour up to the big Tesco branch on the outskirts of the city at some point, to see if they stock the wonderful / dreadful things...
    Back after a very long break!

    Sadly not - there's one about 10 miles from me, but that seems a bit far for some noodles. :undecided Thanks for the information, though.

    Chip sarnies are a must if it's chippy chips (we only have chippy chips once in a blue moon so not so bad)

    Mashed potato and salad cream sarnies, cheap white bread, mash still slightly warm and great spoons of salad cream stirred through. It's all I ate when pregnant with DD1 but I can still be tempted with one now and then (I've even started adding peas for some colour!) ;)
