    Like it says in the title, Im just after eating a can of Campbells onion gravy meatballs.

    A leftover childhood thing I think. Happens about ten times a year. I get an irressistable urge for them that wont go away till its satisfied.

    Whats your secrect?

    For shame, when the curry noodle one is far superior.

    Had one yesterday evening in a friends house. You can get the best ones ever in the supermarket downstairs from them. They are ridiculously good and so bad for you. Mmmmm....

    +1 on the steak & kidney pies. The bakers near work make them fresh every morning and by lunchtime they are still warm.

    Fried bread cooked on the pan after cooking lamb chops.............. its so yummy. Never mind the lamb just give me the bread!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 Kitty_N


    I get terrible cravings after alcohol which usually results in me picking up a chicken burger somewhere along the way home. However, there have been several occasions that I've just gone to the fridge, cut off a huge chunk of cheese, wrapped it in ham and dipped it in mayo. Never tried it sober though for obvious reasons.:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 330 ✭✭xxdilemmaxx


    Crispy chicken curry pancakes (I think Findus make them). I'm afraid to even look at the ingredient list for fear of never being able to eat them again...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,774 ✭✭✭Minder


    Are those the same crispy findus pancakes where the filling magically turns into lava after 15 minutes in the oven - the ones where you always, without fail burn the roof off you mouth trying to eat them;)

    Oh that's them.

    I used to love them. The chicken curry and the ham and cheese.

    Super noodles. Curry flavour. Or the cool ones you get in Oz with five different sachets - can't remember the name of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,140 ✭✭✭olaola



    Super noodles. Curry flavour.

    These inbetween two slices of buttered white bread. HAHM!

    I'm with you on the ham, picnic ham too which is even worse!!

    Also, a tayto sandwich. Cheese and Onion Tayto, white bread and butter and its vital that its squashed!

    Cold can of coke when hungover - curcial


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,367 ✭✭✭✭watna


    When I have had a few drinks I have a tendancy to cook frozen pastry and eat it plain. All of it. I once ate 12 large vol au vents cases. Pasty is good!

    I'm giving up wheat for a while now though so no more pastry for me :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,463 ✭✭✭run_Forrest_run

    used to do both [not together:eek:] until a few years ago!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,817 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    Ham, cheese & Tayto (cheese & onion) sandwich, on white bread with plenty of butter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 116 ✭✭Nikster


    lots and lots of peanut butter - it has to be the crunchy one. I would just eat that straight out of the jar


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,912 Mod ✭✭✭✭Ponster


    Fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

    Every one I eat takes another year of my life...

    I used to nibble the links between raw sausages and the crumbs on frozen fish fingers.

    I've also been known to make a bowl of chocolate butter icing and eat it.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 5,555 ✭✭✭tSubh Dearg


    Soft cheese. It's dangerous if I'm feeling hungry and lazy. I can go through a whole round of Camembert in an evening. Just on its own, no bread or crackers. Oh and I don't eat the rind either but that's more about having a weird thing about the mould on it though.

    They should come with a warning. I was eating one of them and watching TV at the same time a few years ago when the filling fell out onto my chest. I had a blister the size of a 10c coin for nearly a week :(

    I've never been brave enough to try one, but I might do before I die - A 'Shame Stick'. i.e. A pound of butter dipped in icing sugar and eaten. :eek:

    And I'd say it may very likely be the actual cause of your death!!!

    Reading the thread on brown bread reminded me that when I was younger I used to love drinking buttermilk.

    Nothing unusual about that .. it's quite a common thing in the Netherlands too. You'll find glasses of it along with 'ordinary' milk in most company canteens at lunchtime which is fine if you know about it, but comes as a bit of a shock if you've grabbed a glass of what you think is plain milk and take your first 'gulp'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    I can't see me ever eating an icing-sugar-covered pound of butter, but I will admit to ordering deep fried brie or a baked camembert with cranberry if I see them on a menu.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭cabra64


    M&S white choc chip cookies. Bought 4 with the view to sharing them out once i got home. I wolfed them down in the space of half hour over two sweet cups of tea. Delicious.

    I used to go through a 5 pack a few times a week while I was in college. They are the sex.

    1/2 lb of butter dipped in icing sugar sounds more like an endurance test than an indulgence...

    That's pretty much what I used to each when I ate the butter icing, although the butter and the icing were mixed together!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,131 ✭✭✭Curvy Vixen


    God I LOVE raw sausage meat! Making the sausage meat stuffing at Xmas in an endurance test for me cos I constantly want to stuff it in my gob!

    I adore sausage and marmalade sambo's and that tinned macaroni cheese too...mmmmmm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    I used to eat raw black pudding. Loved it.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 10,446 Mod ✭✭✭✭xzanti


    Mushy peas on bread :o

    Oh jesus, my dad used to make us eat those. Gross, I hated them. There used to be a layer of fat left on the roof of your mouth afterwards:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,004 ✭✭✭IanCurtis


    Potatoes, tin of peas and Denny steak and kidney pie....get two days' dinners out of that for god knows how little.

    Must be one of the cheapest dinners you can make.

    Disgraceful eating i know, but we used to have to share one pie between five as kids.

    To eat a half (or whole one, god forgive me) seems like such a treat to my adult eyes!!!!

    PS - must be Denny and must be steak and kidney :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13 Mines


    I used to eat spanish chorizo sausage (the one from pamplona which has a sweet taste) in a toast with chocolate spread.

    The combination of sweet and salty it's just grand.

    Yummy

    BTW I love raw pudding too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,140 ✭✭✭olaola


    The clear jelly that you get on ham - used to get loads of it in the aul tins, but haven't seen them since my childhood.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15 Jota


    salty tomatoes, just on their own.

    when i´m hungover, a bit bowl of shredded iceberg lettuce coated in mayonaise and looooaaads of salt.

    ice cubes.

    banana and mayonaise sandwiches. mmmmmm
