    Primula - got to be from the tube though. I can't stop eating it. Preferably on bread, or crackers, or oat cakes, or celery, or toast, or anything. It's only my pride that stops me squeezing it directly into my mouth.

    And Pringles, but they are far, far too addictive to eat these days.

    A bit like cigarettes, Pringles were a totally designed food intended to be addictive.

    The manufacturer also thought they could avoid VAT imposed on sinful foods.

    How about a sugary jam doughnut competition?

    Bread and gravy, my guilty pleasure. Generally at the end of a roast dinner, made extra special if you add a little meat, stuffing etc to the middle. In an emergency I have been known to make up instant gravy just to add bread to!

    Chicken super noodles with grated cheese on top.

    Macaroni cheese pasta n sauce, with extra cheese added, and preferably with a piece of white bread and butter to dunk.

    My absolute guiltiest is an old pregnancy craving that I now only allow myself on the rare occasion I have the vital ingredient in the house. Weetabix, left to go soggy in milk, then topped with double cream and sugar. Bliss. :o
