Is it the cheese and ham toastie?  the cheese and crisp sandwich?  The pot noodle?  the mars bar?

What do you turn to when you just need that fix of empty calories?  when your cat will no longer talk to you what food works for your comfort?

white bread, cheap supermarket cheese, processed ham!

NOt artisan soda bread, Mellises orkney cheddar finest and ham that looks like it actually came from an animal!

Edit - I thought it would be more than one post before the wars start 🙂

On the run: Dirty processed scotch egg. Preferably in a bag of 2.

At home: white bread, loads of butter, cheap cheese in big chunks, whole tin of beans, Worcester sauce.

or as I like to think of it, Starter and Main.

Dessert would normally be a cold lager or warm ale depending on the season. And, if it's been a massive ride, a MSG-fest of Pringles.

Fatty roasted nuts basically encased in a crisp then doused in MSG.

Currently have a fetish for mini pork pies. Eating a packet of 6 feels less dirty than eating one big one.

Plus crisps. No point having a multipack and not having one of each.

And you can now get tubs of fun size Tunnocks Caramel Wafers. Don't even need to take the foil off as they come ready to eat.

I always feel better after a portion of jaffa cakes

When you get to multiples and it being rude not to finish them...

EDIT: just beaten to it by @Kryton57

Great minds, my friend 😀

Well that's the Internet won by Perchy today.

I've just googled "16” Tandoori munchie box" and I get a few options. All of them look fantastic.

I was eating some of those Posh Dogs just yesterday. You know they have some infused with mustard, and some infused with branstons pickle also?

Oh Lordy, what a time to be alive.

Post ride munchies for me is salted nuts and a cold beer. Or if I need sugar it’s Soreen malt loaf, Jaffa cakes, or fig rolls. All of which come in a handy portion sized pack. I.E: the whole pack.

Junk food doesn’t really get my attention. Unless the new burrito place in the local market hall counts?

I shall ponder this while demolishing a 200g bag of chocolate raisins after work, with a strong coffee.

I've literally just eaten one (sliced in half, buttered with mustard and put back together)!!

Lordy...

Am I the only person that "sprinkles" (ahem) bombay mix onto a fresh made cheese toastie?

A quick and dirty snack for me is toast absolutely slathered in Aldi's (proper, just peanuts, no added crap) peanut butter.

Mini cocktail sausages – I forgot them.

It is astonishing how versatile the sausage is, whether being made into a cocktail snack; a full sausage dinner, or sausage, egg and chips; enrobed in pastry to make my perfect snack; deconstructed from sausage shape to egg shape to produce a work of edible genius as a scotch egg. Sausages are possibly The Best Thing!

starts world war 3

People like different stuff.

I like a cheese and onion sandwich, bag of crisps and some homemade pickled onions. It’s certainly not health food..

Could eat my bodyweight in all manner of microwaved or instant junk-foods but no one particular offender springs to mind.

Was raised addicted to pork and bread and pastry but those are past options I now avoid

Chicken and Mushroom Pot Noodles used to hit the spot but they seem tame of late.

Nowadays a fried, split Beyond Brat sausage on burger bun with ketchup and mustard really hits the spot. Cauldron Lincolnshire also.
Add fried onions if have the time. Mmm.

Or reheated chips and fried egg butty with brown sauce 😋

*edit oh yeh if desperate on the hoof then a family bag of Beef Space Raiders will send me into a happy MSG coma.

If any left over then a Space Raiders butty!

Hot a homecooked bacon and cheese burger, preferably with brioche roll and BigMac style sauce (I have a seasoning you can add to mayo for that).

Cold(ish), toast, peanut butter, jam - if going all out add a banana too!

A “portion” of jaffa cakes is a packet is it not?

Correct.

For more ideas look up The Rock cheat day - he knows how to eat o_O

Ice cream & cake. I eat it most days... apart from those bleak times when we have no cake in the house. Then I just make do with ice cream and a little cry.

Foxes cookies, the big ones, the ones that have choc chips and then half covered in more chocolate - otherwise known as this morning's breakfast, with a pint of milk...

This thread has reminded me how utterly joyless my life has become, most of this makes me feel ill. 😥

Month and a half, one bottle of tequila and I'll be back on the straight and level.

Actually, no, Pick Me Up biscuits. Like a sandwich version of a Liebniz. Awesome!

Tube of Pringles, packet of plastic cheese, quarter a slice and make into a 5 crisp stack. Awesome!

Polish sausage dipped in mustard/mayo/whatever is in the fridge door. Awesome!

Think I found my mojo again, now I'm hungry 😀

For trowelling onto butties (crap white bread, obvs) and definitely falling into the 'I don't really want to know whats in it' category...

with sliced, pickled beetroot for maximum filth and guaranteed acid reflux

Nachos. But has to be with that liquid salsa from the Old El Paso kit.

Bombay Bad Boy (King size of course).
