Went to a little ones party recently, enjoyed mandarin oranges set in lemon jelly, oh my lord I am now hooked!! Verging on obsessed reallygrin so simple if full of sugar, too easy to wolf down in a cup watching tv, so what about you, have you any little delicacies, odd or not, that you can't resist?

Tinned sardines mashed up with cottage cheese, a squeeze of lemon juice, a lot of black pepper, used as a topping for wholemeal seedy toast.

When we visited Australia to see my son and his family, one of our big cases was filled with McCoys crisps. He missed them so much. Round the edges of the case I stuffed in as many KitKats as I could ...

Oh no! Thank you Nannylovesshopping for finding out about the tangerines jelly. What a shame. Maybe we should all write to Hartleys and ask them to bring it back for us connoisseurs.

I use to love Junket, ( glad I didn’t know what was in it back then)

McCoy's cheese and onion crisps. The problem is 1 is never enough.

There are worse addictions to have, NanaPower. grin

My weakness is Peanut butter and beetroot sandwiches. I can eat them all day smile If I have n peanut butter in I get agitated, so guessing its a sort of addiction. Ooops smile. I think I get addicted too easy as I drink so much tea my hubby reckons I should have it intravenously.

I had sugar sandwiches for mid-morning break at school = they were my favourite.

Jalima1108 Wed 24-Jan-18 23:06:23

I had sugar butties made by my Granny.

pensionpat Wed 24-Jan-18 23:00:29

Yes I had sugar sandwiches. Can't remember if there was butter too. Probably not.

Did anyone have sugar sandwiches? I can’t resist the smell of toast mmmmm

grandmac Wed 24-Jan-18 21:42:04

Hot custard, vanilla ice cream and topped with cream!
Sorry arteries!!

EllieRose43 Wed 24-Jan-18 21:14:50

marionk I'm with you - peanut butter anything! Also condensed milk sandwiches or just a can of condensed milk and a spoon.

MissAdventure Wed 24-Jan-18 20:10:58

Ah yes. I've had some strange combinations that have made up dinners, when I've not had much in, and no money.

Kim19 Wed 24-Jan-18 19:55:21

MissAdventure, our family favourite of cucumber and crisp rolls/sandwiches was arrived at by the fact that these were all that was left from our selection of fillings for our picnic. Hobson's choice ended up in lifelong love affair for all four of us. Funny old world!

Wally Wed 24-Jan-18 18:57:36

When we were children my sister used to like lettuce and jam sandwiches I could never for the life of me understand why. ( ps. the lettuce and jam were in the same sandwich.

MissAdventure Wed 24-Jan-18 18:51:57

How did you people find out about these combinations? grin

BBbevan Wed 24-Jan-18 17:58:48

Mini pork pie.
Cup of cocoa with a cheese sandwich. I have even been known to dip the sandwich in the cocoa. ?

Grannyado Wed 24-Jan-18 17:57:33

Marmite on toast. What's with the honey??? I thought I was weird having strawberries and hummus! And sausages and salad with strawberries! Yum. And chocolate cake mixture ..... now I am being grim!

HurdyGurdy Wed 24-Jan-18 17:49:55

Danish blue cheese on Hovis digestives (no other digestive will do!)

I can (and shamefully, do) eat a whole triangle pack of the cheese on most of a packet of the biscuits in one sitting.

I have no willpower, and resistance is futile!

Portabella Mushrooms stuffed with Whole Earth Three Nut Butter, and grilled gently until the butter melts!
