[Closed] unusual things you liked to eat/drink.

Horse is lovely.

Brown sauce on toast.

Dried fig & cheese sarnies; not sure if that's weird or not.

Mackerel and banana.

I have been know to eat half a jar of this with a spoon from time to time!

Poached eggs on Marmite toast, if you've not tried it you must!

salad cream sandwich
jam n cheese sandwich
sugar on bread

Poached eggs on Marmite toast

oooh, that sounds good.

A sausage sandwich from the restaurant downstairs...

I know what goes in them, thats why to me they are unusual.

I have one twice a month.

Bovril on toast (Marmite is for gayers)
I thought I was the only one who actually like Andrews salts to drink!

could i recommend also peanut butter and cheese sandwiches (smooth peanut butter for me with chedder cheese).

Peanut butter and brown sauce sandwiches.

Peanut butter sarnies with salt and vinegar crisps, I hate S&V normally but must be something about the sweet and sour combo that changes it. I used to put ketchup in my corned beef sandwiches my dad made for my packed lunches.

My friends brother put vinegar on her ice cream once being mean, and she enjoyed it so much she put vinegar on her ice cream for ages afterwards. Yuck.

i was just going to read this with interest, as i couldnt think of anything unusual i eat/drink, but i recognise a couple of these myself now 🙂

as a kid i used to also like Andrews, popping a spoonful in orange juice to make orangeade.
also prefer marmite on toast if im having beans or egg on toast.

i also now prefer my cereal milk to be an unflavoured whey protein shake. makes it lovely and creamy and the oatibix just goes mushy nomnomnom. and with a nod to the OP, i also like farleys rusks, so i break up half a rusk and let that go mushy in the oatibix too then stir it round. that way you get the odd little sweet spot mixed in with the cereal. (i find farleys on their own too sweet these days, no wonder kids are growing up to crave sugar!!)

I used to love sweet sherry and other fortified wines. I was allowed to drink small amounts from a young age, and I have fond memories of my dad coming home from tours in Cyprus with demijohns of Emva Cream and Commanderia.....

Marmite and ketchup sandwiches. Sounds disgusting, but the sweet fruitiness of the ketchup offsets the strong bitterness of the Marmite, it's really nice.

Though, I could eat Marmite from the jar with a spoon. Mmmmmmmaramite...

Seems to be a local delicacy but occasionally succumb to prawn and boiled egg butties like my mum used to make.

They have them in the local morrisons but no where else that I've ever seen

Also egg/tomato/salad cream butties - no available in M&S

I make my own bolognese from scratch but I do love to drink this stuff...

I use to have tomato sauce or tomato sauce and egg (boiled) sandwiches as a kid.

Use to dip biscuits in cordial too.

salad cream sandwich

sugar on bread

yep, used to eat both of these in the 70's. We also used to love bread and dripping #workingclass

Currently I love peanut butter and strawberry jam. Not too strange as it's like the American PB & 'jelly' but i still get strange looks, particularly at work.

A well made PB&J is magnificent.

Most Brits don't get it as a) US 'jelly' isn't the same as our jam, there's no direct equivalent that I've found and b) folk assume a 1:1 ratio and it's not, it's lashings of peanut butter with a bit of jelly waved at it.

Salad cream & crisp sarnie.
Dry weetabix.

Smith's salt and vinegar chipsticks on top of a milk chocolate digestive.

or

Those chocolate spinkles the dutch all eat for breakfast, in a white bread sandwhich (no butter) with Smith's S&V chipsticks.

Yum (and also trend setting, I've was eating this for years before the current trend of salty & sweet snacks)

Biltong, I work with a family from Zimbabwe who devour the stuff, but everyone else gives me very funny looks.

Based on the frequent comments from my colleagues; fruit apparently.

Poached eggs on Marmite toast, if you've not tried it you must!

Horse is lovely.

Also eaten pan fired lambs brains which were a bit spongy in texture but again surprisingly tasty

sugar on bread

We used to have butter and sugar sandwiches as kids. I used to have apple sandwiches, too.

i remember liking to drink andrews liver salts (obviously occasionally).i always liked the taste and the fiziness.

Thanks for the information as I have been looking for something similar to ENO which are not sold in UK anymore due to sugary contain.

Info [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrews_Liver_Salts ]here.[/url] Ya, I know it's from Wiki but good quick search.

Its say it contain mild laxative but so long as it does not bring on number 2, I will get some to try out.

Yes, I drink ENO from time to time.

Oh ya ... I drink honey everyday ... 😛

😀

oh yeah I make cheese,apple and pork pie sandwiches dipped alternately in Salad cream and brown sauce

mmmmmmmm

jam n cheese sandwich

my favourite food since i was about 10 years old.

even more amazing if you grill the cheese.

I used to wet a finger, dip in some dirt (usually freshly turned earth) and eat it. **** knows why.

On the sandwich theme, my dad used spread peanut butter on both slices of bread, spread honey on a Ryvita and slap it between the two. Not really my kind of snack as it's very sweet but he seemed to like it.

Poached eggs on marmited toast is not unusual. It should be the norm

Instant noodles from far away places. The less English writing on the packaging the better.

As above, I'm also a lime pickle fan, and love biltong.

Yes to both of these, apple sandwich was one of my absolute favourites. For a real treat used to have a butter and digestive biscuit sandwich too.

Pie on a roll.
School boy habit 😳
The Scotch pies we used to get from the bakers were always a bit runny ,so we would stick them in a roll.
🙂

The juice from a jar of red cabbage

'The Dream Team'.
Leek and Potato soup with tinned tuna - tuna either nuked with soup or added later.
Black pepper, crusty bread.

…………………….

Tuna, chicken super noodles, sriracha hot chilli & garlic sauce in a bowl.

try also cous cous and tuna with soy sauce. lovely 🙂

Coke and orange. Mixed 50-50.

Cola that is.

I used to regularly have ketchup on toast, doesn't seem that weird to me but the other half treats it as though I was eating a shit sandwich or something...
Other than that, mostly due to laziness, if there's no bread/crackers/wraps in the house I'll just have peanut butter and jam on it's own (knife in pb jar first then into jam jar...) usually with a glass of milk - satisfies hunger pangs quickly but likely hideously bad in terms of calories...

Coke and Fanta is a "thing" in Germany. It's called a Spezi. One brewery makes a ready mixed version but most mix to order...

Once arrived back at a friends after a night out drinking and there was no coke left so we hit the Jack Daniels and Fanta, few weeks later was drinking that through choice

Cola and orange juice was always known as a 'muddy puddle' when I was at university.

It's OK, but pales in comparison to beer, so I never really drank it regularly.

Known as mud, though usually diet coke is used.

I'm all about the chocolate spread and cheese sarnies.

Pie on a roll.

What you've got there is a Wigan Kebab. HTH.

Coke and orange. Mixed 50-50.

I went through a phase of doing that, got the idea from a cordial manufacturer (Robinson's?) who did orange & cola squash for a while.

we hit the Jack Daniels and Fanta

My tipple of choice for a while was Southern Comfort and Britvic orange, it's sublime and worth the price of admission from the reaction it elicits from bartenders. Gave it up in the end as I had the capacity to drink it till it came out of my ears.

On a similar note, an ice cream float made with Tango and a shot of SoCo sloshed over the top is mega.
