    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

    It's long and green,
    And looks obscene,
    And always gets me burpin'.

    But I must confess,
    I like nothing best
    Than a nice big pickled gherkin.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    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.

    I have been eating this for lunches for years;

    My cheapest meal though is a cheap packet of noodles [the ones that are usually 8p each] with pepper and mayo - meal for 10p. Discovered this one when I was 'WELL skint' 10 years ago; but still love it.

    My colleague adds a can of beans to this under the cheese. :D

    Fish finger sarnies with toasted bread but all must be stone cold. Addition of mayo to this is a good one.

    Didn't someone say sugar sarnies was a wartime thing?

    One of the things I eat that no-one else does goes by the name of 'Mush on Toast'

    Consisting of:

    tinned tomatoes
    cheese
    mushrooms
    onions
    any leftover ham or corned beef

    Cook all ingredients together in a saucepan til they look like mush then chuck on toast!!

    YUM

    Yes it was but my nan used to give them to her children as a snack and it's the one habit he hasn't shook off over the years, needless to say he lost his teeth very young!!
