    I like salad cream sandwiches but with banana or KP Skips crisps.

    Worse still I love peanut butter and banana mashed together and spread on toast. Although it does remind me of baby poo!

    OOh yes salad cream sarnies! Thick white fresh bread with loads. Crisps go very well in a sarnie with SC too! :grin:

    I'll give the SC a miss when I have a banana sarnie though! :o

    When i was a kid i used to make my mom do me branston pickle sandwiches to take to school

    needless to say she wasn't impressed because she was a dinner lady at my school and didn't want people thinking that's what she fed us!

    I regret that I cannot grace any of the above suggestions (even though I do love salad cream!) with the epithet of "meal".

    For a simplicity and cheapness in a real meal, I challenge anyone to beat 100g of boiled spaghetti, tossed with some grated cheese. You can even factor in the cost of the 1/4 teaspoon of salt in the pasta water.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)
  • some good ones there i cannot imagine eatingsalad cream and crisp sanwhiches alothough i eat em both seperatly i certainly couldnt stomach them together...
    my daughter loves to jsut eat gerkins out of the jar which i think is disguisting and quite suprising as shes a real fussy eater lol

  • Jam Sandwiches for me!!!

    DS is a very fussy eater and won't touch them (even though he will eat jam tarts:confused: ) and my boss thinks I'm poor if I have them for lunch at work!

    My ex-OH used to eat cheese, beetroot and salad cream sandwiches, and his mum used to eat fried egg and jam sandwiches :eek: .

    salad cream sandwich, mmmmmmm, has to have real butter though, salted
    crisp sandwiches too, ditto the real salty butter

    tomatoes on toast
    egg noodles with soy sauce, hoisin sauce & sesame oil
    pasta with Cardini's Caesar dressing & capers
    mashed sardines/pilchards on toast with beetroot on top
    pasta with olive oil, chilli & garlic

    I already have all the sauces, oils & pickles etc in my storecupboard, so it costs next to nothing over the price of the pasta/bread


    EDIT ... my oldest son used to eat mustard sandwiches, by choice
