Secret Passions

[Hyacinth]

Strange, I thought of posting this last night, after I'd indulged in my 2nd Secret Passion = fish paste ::) Sardine&tomato for preference but salmon&shrimp an acceptable alternative.  :D

And I wondered what, if anything,  the rest of you have a weakness for in the 'junk-food' line?

btw...my no.1 is.....fish fingers with processed marrowfat peas, boiled new potatoes - and brown sauce (or home-made parsley sauce - draw the line at packet stuff. Gal's gotta have standards ;)). Cheap fish fingers - guaranteed no fish were harmed in the process of manufacturing them ::)

Anyone else care to admit to "chavvy" tastes?

Paste butties no matter what flavour remind me of school trips in the 1960's!

My Mum always packed me paste butties and wherever we went on the coach I was always feeling 'icky due to travel sickness, and of curse it was always warm, well is was wasn't it? ;D Then to pull out the paste butties at lunch time, all neatly wrapped up in the old greaseproof loaf packet that had been unwrapped and neatly re-wrapped and folded and all warm .......welllll..... :-X

Now as for fishfingers, well I always have a little packet hiding in the freezer and on my mid week day off I always have a sneaky fish finger butty (or should that be saaandwich  ;)) when no one is looking  ;D  :P

Hmmm.........cheese and marmalade on toast. Lettuce, sugar and salad cream sandwiches :D.


And paste sarnies........oh yes indeedy ;D

[Amazin]

Those single pack microwaveable hot dogs. With no added vitamins or nutritional value. YUM!

(never eaten a fish finger all my adult life - anything that orange should be called a carrot)

Favourite recipe for a quick snack:

1 large jar of Branston Pickle (chunky)
1 spoon

Bliss!

Anything that makes OH say 'don't be so disgusting mrs'.

Chicken, chips and baked beans. (from a chip shop)  Anything with lashings of salad cream.  Anything with loads of brown sauce.  And they are just for starters.

Over-ripe bananas mushed up with demerara sugar and cream.

Shall have to go down 'memory lane' and come back with more. ;D ;D

A couple of oxo cubes disolved in a mug of boiling water and cubes of stale bread soaking in it - marmite works just as well.  Yum!

Dairylea on toast, then stick it under the grill until the dairylea goes brown - like burnt rubber!  Yum.

Marmite and iceberg lettuce sandwiches.  Yum!!

Mashed up ripe banana and peanut butter sandwiches.  Yum!!!

oh a fish finger butty that is sublime but for my totally chavvy dish instant mash potato or fresh with chunks of corned beef in it delish!! ;D

[Borlotti]

A bit embarrassing but Fray Bentos steak pie with puff pastry in a tin.  My friend calls it 'cat food' but I like it.

[Doris_Pinks]

Birds Eye frozen chicken pie, takes me right back to my childhood! (now got youngest daughter hooked! ::)) Now don't get me wrong, a homemade pie is great, but sometimes I just get the craving :D Has to be with mash n peas too.

Crumpets, marmite and cheese, grilled..........yum!

Corned beef, Branston n Salad sandwiches, no one else in the house will touch the stuff, they say it looks like cat food!

No ones mentioned spam yet! ;D

[debster]

or a mashed potato butty yum yum

Used to go swimming at Barrowell Green (outside pool) and loved the oxo drink afterwards, really warmed one up.  I also still like corned beef, Mum made lovely corned beef hash, corned beef, onions and oxo.  Made it the other day but didn't taste as good, memories are sometimes better.  God I must be getting old, used to like magarine as never had butter as a child.  My brother used to eat bread and Golden Syprup whilst standing on his head.  My children used to come home from school for dinner (don't think it happens nowadays) and I cooked fish fingers chips and peas and frozen mousse for after and then I did a little dance.  They still think that was the best food ever.  Perhaps I should start a restaurant with just after the war food (I am sure all the older people would flock there).  As I was brought up on a plain diet I am still not to keen on rich food (posh food).  Had a lot of bread and butter pudding (used up the stale bread) and apple everything as we had an apple tree in the garden, and of course plenty of milk puddings, rice, 'glue pudding' tapico' semolina etc.  Can't be too bad as I am still alive and kicking.

When I lived in London I remember going to a place called Manzies and they made pie and mash. They used to put liquor on it. I only went once and I never forgot it. Would love to sit in the tiled cafe and eat that again.

Is that the Manzis near Leicester Square? Parents used to take us there for a treat when we came up to London
