Food Shaming

cydney65

Pot noodle (beef and tomato only)

Also, when I was a sad singleton, I used to buy Chinese chicken curry when I got home from work, eat half and save the rest for cold curry for breakfast...mmmm Actually a lot of my former credit card debt was from the Chinese take away!

Edit: and cold chicken balls in cold sweet and sour sauce-heaven

As an adult:
Crisp sandwiches, still have them for lunch sometimes when feeling lazy

Teenager:
Chips, cheese and salad cream

Kid:
Sugar sprinkled on buttered toast and put under grill until it bubbles (saw it on Why dont you? once). Think creme brulee without the custard bit.

Easy donuts - jam sandwiches dipped in batter and deep fried in the chip pan.

oh how times have changed eh?

Value noodles
Cheese and strawberry jam sandwiches
The cheapest ravioli money can buy, eaten cold out of the tin with a fork.

My guilty secret is toast with loads of butter on dunked in a hot cup of tea, not only does the toast go soggy but you end up with buttery tea

My late Mum thought this was so disgusting, she made me eat it outside! :rotfl:

My Mum used to do this all the time when I was growing up - she'd make 2 cups of tea, 1 for dipping and 1 for drinking. She should have known it was gross when even a 5 year old wouldn't join in :rotfl:

ETA: Just realised I'm not in a position to judge, I do loads of these 'shameful' things when I'm ill or feeling nostalgic:

- Angel delight
- Cheese and milk warmed on a tin plate and served with loads of (white) bread and butter - calorific to high heaven!
- Smash with loooads of butter
- Fish finger sandwiches
- Vimto / Ribena ice lollies

Cheap pasta in sauce packets, cheesy ones, made with water (no milk) to be healthy, but couter act it with a lump of cheese stirred through. Then pop in a dish, cover with more grated cheese, and bake in the over for 15 mins.
And my "guilty pleassure" cheese and onion toasties. But it has to be the cheapest of cheap bread, and they have to be toasted so they are a bit crispy on the edges but still a bit soggy in the middle. Dipped in the cheapest tomato ketchup you can find.
And dumplings with pretty much anything - never understand why they are for stews only. Even sweet stuff (just dont use herby ones. lol) they are lovely with melted chocolate on top, or jam, or custard. And they are delishious with baked beans and cheese.

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.

My local rip off shop do koka noodles in a pot where you just add water, like a pot noodle, for 99p but sure you could get them cheaper than that

One of my friends used to make a cheese sandwich, dip it in egg, fry it until the cheese melted, generally at 2am when full of the booze after the pubs shut

A van in my local area used to sell horrible cheese rolls with cheese slices and chopped onion, says how much drink affects your tastebuds when you eat crap like that after a night out and of course when you woke up the next morning all you could taste was the onion.

Anyone remember pizza rolls? They went in the microwave and were like hot molten lava when u bit into them!

Pop tarts? Now so full of sugar my teeth refuse to eat them.

I used to make my own chicken burger, frozen crispy chicken, on white bread, mayo no butter (bleurgh) and lettuce.

My ultimate tho is chicken paste and cheese spread (together) on a butty (no butter obvs) and I went back to these whilst carrying my first baby!

Orange cordial each and everyday with an occasional hot vimto. Mmm

Brown sauce butties, mum used to make 'cheese &onion in the oven'
Yup just a huge bowl of crumbly cheshire cheese, onions and full fat milk for few hours then served with doorstop bread &butter, all dig in for ur own portion! Yum....

Lattice fries (the frozen-in-a-packet kind), we buy them as a treat occasionally when I can't be bothered to make HM oven chips.
Angel delight - DO NOT look at the ingredients list while making this stuff!
Southern fried chicken and chips from a chippy.

For anyone who doesn't like HM pasta sauce because it doesn't taste [STRIKE]processed enough[/STRIKE] right, try using a tin of tomato soup (value works fine) instead of a tin of tomatoes. IIRC Mr T's value tomato soup is cheaper than their tinned tomatoes, if maybe not entirely as healthy...
