Oh! I'm now missing a Ginsters pasty and pork pies! used to love a pork pie with some pickle or a Ginsters pasty with mayo. I guess importing to Portugal is going to be a non starter......

Pork scratchings.

Winner, preferably in a plain plastic bag from a butcher

Munchy box….. hmmm, some good stuff going on there, but while my lad was on a student placement on the Isle of Bute we ordered a Hoagie out of curiosity from one of the Syrian takeaways. Dear God that’s a junk food snack to be reckoned with! IIRC it contained donner kebab meat, chicken kebab, pakoras, chips, cheese, garlic and chilli sauce all wrapped in a roti, or naan if you went large.

@tjagain 20 is two portions!

The Gregg's Steak Bake features heavily here.

@Rona shop rice pudding doesn't need warming.

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

Oh damn I forgot about Rock Toast! Twisted that one to rum "infused" (actually just mixed in) whipped cream on toasted waffles. Definitely qualifies as junk food.

Has to be a Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodle with a spoon of quality curry powder, spoon of garam masala, a good few birds eye chillies and finished off with fresh coriander and chopped spring onion, eaten with warm popadoms.

That’s my occasional guilty food secret.

Och, I'm not so keen on it cold!

Now, your name reminds me … the other day I finally gave in and tried a cheese and jam sandwich for the first time … michty me, it was fabulous … but, on the theme of a preference for warm rather than cold food ... has anyone tried a cheese toastie (grilled, not toastie-makered) with butter and jam spread on the top? Seems like something I should try.

Is there no love here for chips and curry sauce? Best eaten after closing time whilst slaloming home. Though sadly all the chippies close before the pubs do now. Someone needs to have a word.

On the subject of Sandwiches…. Sausage and marmalade with the bread lightly toasted. Essentially it’s sweet and sour pork, bizarrely so.

I like a cream egg at night to alleviate the stress of lambing. Lambing usually lasts about 4-5 weeks. Mrs WF came back from town the other day with 5 boxes of 10 creme eggs. No idea what the cumulative wasted calories will be but I will enjoy every bite.

Corned beef toastie - simple and such a tasty snack, especially with lots of butter on the bread before it goes onto the plate.

Isn’t that the ‘what do you like from the chip shop’ thread? 😉

Prawn crackers if they are available.

I like pork scratchings too but the last time I had them, they cost me £68 with a broken tooth.

Corned beef soaks up Worcester sauce like a sponge.

Corned beef, mature cheddar and red onions all drowned in Worcester sauce is the king of toasties

Crisps.

Other crisps.

Kudos to nachos for synergising crisps and melted cheese. And jalapenos.

Just remembered 30 second nachos!

Fill a big microwaveable bowl with half a bag of regular plain salted tortilla chips (not Doritos) and hastily carve a few handfuls of random small chunks of cheddar on top, then add few handfuls of pickled green jalapeños (dry them in paper towel first)

Stir all around with hand until all mixed up in layers and sprinkle some Encona Carolina Reaper sauce (or your favourite hot sauce - I like plain habanero) all over the top before nuking the bowl on high for 30 seconds.

Now add a few dollops of cream, creme fraiche or Oatly oat fraiche if you have some

Demolish the entire mess noisily with combination of fingers and gob.

Now to cook the best chilli for serving later with yet more 30 sec nachos because you have half a bag of tortilla chips left! 😋

Greggs sossy roll, flaming hot monster munch and a bottle of full fat coke. Proper year 9 dinner. Glorious

Mind them mini posh dogs mentioned up thread are absolute **** dynamite. Can dust a box of those delicious little bastards without blinking. Gonna be hunting out those mustard ones next time I’m in too. Sound great

I’ve had those binders, and also this:

Just tell anyone that “perfect for sharing” is a misprint…. I think Sunday night with those, the honey and mustard sausages and some red wine will occur this weekend.

What?  what?

corned beef is the only time red sauce ( ketchup to southerners) is allowed and the only thing permissible on corned beef.

Jeepers!

Monster Munch

Also, and I'm not saying it's the best, far from it. But I will occasionally partake of a Rustler's microwave cheeseburger. I know they have no redeeming features but maybe twice a year, I get a craving for one.

Rachel's rice pudding, cold from the fridge. I'd call it an addiction.

KETCHUP ON CORNED BEEF?!!

You absolute deviant! It’s HP sauce at least, or branston pickle.

Or this stuff…

There's one in South Shields. I assume they backhaul all the shit that hasn't sold/is short-dated and they sell it off cheap. 4 doughnuts for a quid - the proper ones like the caramel banana thing none of this ring doughnut shite here.

Anyway, no-one has mentioned chocolate brownie Hobnobs which are possible the best biscuit ever. One packet = one portion.

Been my WFH treat - whoever suggested corned beef on the toastie thread deserves a share of TiRed's OBE for services to the pandemic.

I think Houns has got this wrapped, but I'll toss Snyder's Pretzel Pieces, pref. Honey and Mustard, complete bag thereof, into the mix.

There's a Greggs Outlet a mile or so from me in Walker. I've never been, but now I'm unemployed, maybe I'll go tomorrow morning.

As it was formerly Greggs of Gosforth, there's more in the NE.

There's a few around the country in other towns/cities

Here's a list

@binners those rollitos are suspiciously similar to the ones you also get in Tesco.

Delicious (Linghams). Corned beef (delicious) OTOH is satan’s actual excrement, and for any number of reasons.

corned beef has staged a resurgence among millennials and younger shoppers.Sales of the canned meat staple grew £9.8m to £83.3m over the past year

always used to get corned beef crispbakes from M&S as a treat. awesome meal with chips and beans..

Noticed that the mrs has picked up an Adli version when rummaging through the fridge today. so had one of them n'all, on a buttered muffin (bread roll/barm cake for the weirdos) and brown sauce. incredible!
