  • Salt and vinegar crisps.

    Not just any salt and vinegar crisps though. It has to be the really cheap ones that are so strong in flavour that they make your eyeballs bleed when you eat them. Marvellous.

    Chow mein flavour Super noodles with southern fried chicken bits is a guilty pleasure of mine.

    And a burger is not a burger in our house without a slice of plastic cheese - somehow using proper cheese isn't quite right!

    I love processed cheese slices :o I also really like potato waffles and other randomly extruded potato shapes :o

    ...and cheap chocolate and brightly coloured jelly sweets full of E numbers :o

    Tattie scones with a well fired roll and HP, when I used to eat eggs a scrambled or fried egg would be added into the mix
    Mothers pride plain bread with crisps
    Macaroni pies (dont eat cheese anymore just as well really)
    Supernoodles on a sandwich (again, dont eat supernoodles anymore but in days gone by it would be beef supernoodles on a sandwich). (Im scottish and its a scottish/northern thing to stick random types of food between two slices of bread).


    In reality I dont tend to eat any of the above these days, I cook from scratch and eat healthily but there you go. Any of the above would be occasionally, not my staple diet.

    I have tried other varieties of beans and some arent bad, but I like heinz WW beans the best.

    Roast potato sarnies? I didn't realise that was a guilty pleasure, them's a food group of their own in my house.
    Especially if you make real gravy because it goes kind of jelly-like in the fridge then you can spread it over the butter. Roast potato and gravy sarnie! :drool:

    I am hungry just reading through this thread!

    Quite surprised to find that the sweet stuff isn't doing anything for me at all but all of the savoury options.... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Sadly most of it now falls into the "unaffordable" category rather than "guilty pleasure" option. I think the one I'm missing most right now is buying a far-too-big takeaway pizza in order to make sure there's cold pizza for breakfast.

    Or possibly a pasty barm - hollands or carrs "cornish" (yeah right, apologies to cornwall for any offence caused by the misappropriation of the name!) pasty on a buttered bread roll.

    Haven't had a lasagne butty for a while either.

    Definitely a northern thing to sandwich pretty much every food group between pieces of bread!

    Do they still make them? Don't think I've had one for 30+ years :rotfl:

    Someone mentioned peanut butter & jam sandwiches earlier....YUM!! But, if you want a slightly healthier version, then toasted peanut butter & banana w/ linseed bread is absolutely delicious :drool:

    It's my "go to food" for pre or post exercise :D

    Ah the good old Wigan kebab, otherwise known as a pie on a barm :)

    My kids call me disgusting for making lasagne butties (and yes they have to be butties, sandwiches don't taste half as nice ;))
