Eccentric (not X-rated) Food ? ?

The bread and milk thing was always called “pobs” when I was a child and was often given to invalids and children off their food.

Bread and milk. That’s reminded me that we used to give our new born guinea pigs and their mum that in a little saucer.
I love guinea pigs ♥️

DanniRea soup with a boiled potato in it! That is eccentric

A warning about peas in their pods - watch out for maggots in the peas. I used to shell the peas for my mum but checked them carefully before popping in my mouth

My mum used to sometimes make me tomato soup (tinned) with a boiled potato in it if I came home from school for lunch.

She also used to make me and my brother bread and milk for our breakfast. I remember my brother used to have a huge pudding basin full of it. It was lovely with sugar on the top and if we have white sliced bread now I sometimes have it before I go to bed!!

I have a very occasional craving for Pot Noodles, but rather than nip to the corner shop I have been known to boil some ordinary Sharwoods noodles in stronger than usual chicken stock (Knorr cube) with curry powder added. And very tasty they are too.

In France mothers buy chocolate to put in the baguette for le goûter when they pick up the children from school at 4.30 in the afternoon.

I remember one of my DC arriving home from a French exchange visit with a baguette filled with dark chocolate (mostly uneaten). The French mother had given him it to eat on the way home but he didn't like it.

Yes to fruitcake with a slice of cheese- I have introduced to it all the family and a few friends. Yup- mum was from Yorkshire. Downside is it is very bad for the weight!

I first heard about the cheese with Christmas cake in the James Herriot books. Makes perfect sense.

my friend’s mother used to give her a chocolate bar sandwich, she would break up what used to be called a ‘penny bar’ of chocolate and put it in the sandwich. I used to tell my mother about it but she never let me have one. My brother used to love sandwich spread That took me back! Out cat used to love those penny bars. It was one of the things we used to buy when we were given 3d to spend on sweets at the village shop.

In Germany you can actually get thin chocolate slices specifically to go on sandwiches.

A slice of cold cottage pie on bread. Delicious. The only time I have tomato ketchup is on toast and I too have discovered the yummy Idahoan Mashed Potato.

Shelflife At last one I could relate to.
Yes Christmas cake and cheese are a perfect marriage, it has to be Wensleydale.
Delicious.

I fry an egg and drop grated cheese onto it as it fries, delicious on toast

You've just reminded me I like a slice of toast with a slice of cheese on it and a fried egg on top. The cheese melts from the heat of the egg. Mmmm... ?

If I was going out for lunch with friends I always left OH a lunch ready in the fridge. It was always still there when I returned - when questioned he had always made himself a peanut butter and jam sandwich. He still sneaks one in whenever he can.
When I had the chemo I started craving Marmite on toast - something I had not eaten for years - banned because of salt content when blood pressure was high.
This is such an interesting thread - can’t quite get my head round the banana curry though.

dragonfly 46, I was born and brought up in Yorkshire . My mum always served cheese with Christmas cake, I thought everyone did ! I loved the cheese with the rich cake.

Apricot jam with mature cheddar cheese in a sandwich.
Lightly toasted bagel, with peanut butter and banana.
My two favourite lunches!

My current favourite which I have for lunch most days is sliced extra strong cheddar cheese and raisins on Hovis seeded bread, well buttered.
Food for the Gods.

My mother used to make cheesy baked eggs on a saucer; somehow the cheese, just on the egg white, was grilled but the egg yolk was still soft. I would eat it with a teaspoon and I wish I knew how she made it.

Pork pie with oxtail soup poured over it was a firm favourite in our family

Lucca sorry a typo!

I would welcome you all at my gaff.

My darling husband sneaked some Ritz crackers into the house today, so please let me make sure he has got rid of the offending items first.
Only cheesy footballs are worse than Ritz.

Bacon sandwich with fried onions and ketchup. Had one for dinner last night.

Almost anything in the crisp line. Onion rings. Salt n vinegar sticks. Cheese puffs. Again, almost never eat them tho. Heart attack in a bag.

I've memories of shelling peas from the garden on a Sunday, sitting on the kitchen step....I had to whistle non-stop when I did them...
It's impossible to eat them when you're whistling lol

My grandson loved frozen peas, grated carrot (had to be grated) - and cheese+jam sandwiches.

DS1 loved frozen chips straight from the freezer when he was teething.

I read this as DH - thought his wisdom teeth were playing-up!

Bacon sandwiches, but a chip one will do nicely too.

Does cheese with chutney count too?
