A miscellaneous discussion on digestive treats

Kylta · 03-04-2020 1:25pm #1

I put this title in because I don't want this tread shipped off to food and whatever sh-t tread. I basically want it left in AH, we have a superior intelligent breed of poster here. And like the title says anything about food. Oh since we're not in a drastic situation yet. None of I want to eat the neighbours cat etc. Ok.I relent you can eat the neighbour.

What you're eating at the moment ?
What we're eating for Breakfast/Dinner/Tea?
Do you crave junk food?
Is cabbage, potatoes, bacon, a thing of the past?
In general anything to do with food is acceptable

Kylta · 03-04-2020 1:26pm

I'll kick this off by saying I'd slaughter a KFC

I mis-read the subject line and thought this was a discussion on digestive tracts.

Or digestive biscuits, the least missed “treat”.

The OP mentioned bacon and cabbage so I reckon they're more of a Marietta or a Goldgrain sort of person.

That was a childhood treat, butter worms cool name. Do they still sell Marietta today.

Without digestives, there is no cheesecake base. For that reason digestives are okay.

I miss...Sunday brunch Spanish omelettes. I know I can make it at home but it's not the same as stopping off for brunch and having someone else make it.

I miss most things that other people used to make. Anything I don't have to make is a treat right now but I could especially demolish a bacon double cheeseburger with large fries and a shake from BK. I don't often have it but knowing I can't have it just makes me want it more. I guess playing hard to get works.

I think so ?

I should have said I hope so

They still exist. The packaging has got very fancy for a "traditional plain biscuit".

jimgoose · 03-04-2020 2:48pm

I'm eating a lot of fresh vegetables, meat, spuds, tinned fish and packet soups. Snacks generally consist of cheese-and-biccies with the occasional bit of chocolate cake. Here's a couple of lovely fillet steaks from the local craft butcher:

Workhouse biscuits.

Well I am going to bat for digestive biscuits here, love them.
Rich Tea are about 6/10, marietta I haven't seen in years and am happy enough with that reality.

Oaties (poverty-spec plain Hob Nobs from The Aldi's, a daycint bic-bic and stupid cheap) with brie FTW.

In the biscuit debate, it have to be kimberleys - even though they stick in your teeth.

I made my own tortillas the other day, because I forget them the other day, and had all the other ingredients for a homemade burrito - they were quite easy to make and I'd do it again.

PhilOssophy · 03-04-2020 3:37pm

Steady on introducing kimberley, they are A-Grade biscuits. We're talking cheap and nasty in some cases here.

JohnnyFlash · 03-04-2020 3:39pm

I’d love 8 pints in the local followed by a trip into Supermacs for a snackbox with garlic sauce.

I thought that was just me! Prefer to make my butter worms with Rich Tea, though!

03-04-2020 3:41pm

Anyone upgrade the marietta and rich tea worms from butter to nutella?

I would destroy two quarter-pounders from the chipper across the road from the local. :pac:

Bourbon creams are sort of just above that cheap category.
In that category I would put
1. Digestive
2. Rich Tea
3. Rich Shorties
4. Ginger nuts
5. Marietta

What have I forgotten?

He forgot Hob Knobs. Fig rolls as well.

PhilOssophy · 03-04-2020 3:48pm

Hob knobs are the step above too, no?

Toffee pops :pac:

I had a rustic role, with pepper salami, gherkins rocket spicy cheese and mustard, crisps and some Mi wadi

all the time, sugar is my weakness
God no done right it can be amazing, I find if you boils a ham, then save the water for cooking the cabbage, finishing with lashings of butter.

Im off chocolate the moment but you can chocolate fingers or the purple snack that was left in a fridge, and Time Out of a fridge too. Oh and a twirl or a flake.

They are amazing - but only with black coffee

Kylta · 03-04-2020 4:27pm

Ive an option, I can have fish with herbs abd rice, which is ok. Or I can have rashers, eggs, beans, with batch loaf bread. Think ill take the second option, there's nothing like messy food

The One Doctor · 03-04-2020 4:35pm

I'd love a Big Tasty from McDonald's. Even though our shopping bill is higher lately, we're still saving money as there's less spent on crap. We're lucky enough to still have our jobs though.

Started a side job doing wooden sculptures from reclaimed timber and it's doing well despite the economic problems.

Church on Tuesday · 03-04-2020 4:50pm

There is something very sad about a broken biscuit.

Just released that yesterday as I was tucking into a pack of Ginger Nuts.

second option

but I recommend you add a potato waffle. and grated cheese.

once cooked, spoon beans onto waffle. sprinkle grated cheese on the beans. put under grill until cheese is melted and bubbly and just a little bit burny.

Cheesy Beany Waffles (tm) + egg + rashers. And lots of butter on your batch bread - use the last corner of the bread to mop and clean the plate and you won't even have to wash up!

washed down with a mug of steaming hot tae.

PhilOssophy · 03-04-2020 7:15pm

Would there be anything to be said for a custard cream?

I like they way you think right down to the mopping up with the batch, alas i've no waffles

No tang in custard creams, there was a biscuit called lemon puffs they were lovely don't know if they still sell them. I might have gotten rid off second part of the name, or changed the whole name

I have re discovered Fig Rolls since husband decided we needed four packs in case of starvation . Must say they are my new obsession

Muppet Man · 03-04-2020 7:35pm

I ate a full bag of wine gums today. The sense of guilt is overwhelming. Wasn’t worth it.
