What is your secret food that you eat that is clearly not good - the one that you eat that makes others think you are just disgusting. For example, my wife, a tremendous cook, eats melted Velveeta. My sister used to dip her finger in margarine, then in sugar, then eat it. My best friend at Uni exclusively ate mini frozen pizzas between two potato waffles. Drenched in salad cream.

I like to buy those horrid $1 Swedish Meatball frozen tv dinner things. Yes they're horrible. No I can't get enough of them. I also eat "Digestive Sandwiches" which are two stuck together with butter. Mmmm.

Go on...revolt me.

see my last food post........canned fish!!! lol

I love it, everyone else that I know hates it. It IS stinky but I don't care! lol

I had an example last night - curried baked beans in a jacket potato.

Also Marmite and cream cheese sandwiches

I buy these little packets in Chinese stores that I consume containing peanuts, dried chili and dried tiny fish (head and all). Mmmmmm!

Those little fake cheese cubes that used to be called Epericubes but are now called something like Party Cubes (put out by the Laughing Cow people whose Dairylea type cheese I also like)

Even though I loathe most things at McDonald's I still buy an occasional Egg McMuffin doused in lots of ketchup

I still like Milky Bars when I can get my hands on them even though they are mostly sugar and cocoa butter

I still like Chinese spare ribs - the stickier and sweeter the sauce the better. It's a taste from childhood that hasn't gone away.

Wine!

Yes I've drunk quite a bit. How did you know?

In sandwiches I've eaten Marmite with Cottage Cheese, Edam with Strawberry Jam, Peanut butter with sliced apples, Cream cheese with salami.

Otherwise it would have to be something that Americans would find gross Tuna and Sweetcorn on a jacket potato. (don't eat that any more - now I prefer prawns)

Raspberry jam and salt and vinegar crisp sandwiches make my hubby go ewww, and he always tells me off if I have a sugar sandwich (childhood comfort food thing, my mother ate them till the day she died too). Hubby's sarnies are more likely to make me want to barf as like most Americans he puts cheese on everything, including back bacon which drives me nuts or tuna. Fish and cheese just don't go together!

Steak and kidney pudding.
Steak and kidney pie.
Liver and onions with bacon.

a little off because I hated it. I had it at my first scout camp. (Also off the tinned fish thread). Mashed potato with cans of pilchards mashed into it.

Reaction to the first two......Ewwwwwww :shock:

Oh.. Liver and onions .. my wife hates even the look of it.

Sardines on toast..

I do not find the following strange, but she does not like my sandwiches since I cover them in Salad Cream.. especially sharp chedder cheese and onion slices.

Salt and Vinger or Cheese and Onion crisp sandwich with salad cream.

Pickled Onions.. sometimes chedder cheese and sliced pickled onion sandwich.

Things I find discusting is Peanut butter and jam. I managed to bring up my 5 year old with peanut butter and butter )

So does my missus  :roll:

I used to like Sardine and tomato paste on toast  :wink:

I bought some salad cream from the supermarket a while ago, and I used to have the same kind of sarnies, and my missus hated that too  :roll:

I was only saying to my missus the other day about crisp sandwiches and pickled onion sandwiches and I got the roll of the eyes  :roll:

I dont like it either, or that marshmellow stuff!!
When I started eating chip sandwiches anyone would think that no one had ever had chip sarnies before?  :shock:
but it's alright for 'others' to have a spaghetti sandwich  :roll:   :wink:

My kids rolled their eyes at me eating a chip butty.

My kids and I love our chip butties.

My daughter and I will not eat peanut butter.

Can't say I have found anything disgusting.

Can't live without chocolate though.

Oh, I forgot.. hot crispy bacon quickly put between 2 slices of bread with lots of butter so it all melts and drips as you eat it.. bacon buttie..
