Microwave popcorn with loads of melted butter on top has to be the best thing ever!

I also love golden crisp chocolate or shortbread with a big glass of milk or a big bowl of fresh pasta with creme fraiche and cheese. mmmmm

ok, I'm really hungry now. Is 11.10 too early to go for lunch?

You know the faded green ones in glass HAK jars, they look a bit Iron Curtain but you can get them in the supermarket. Trust me, try them cold.

Oh and I forgot sauerkraut, which I can only eat when I'm alone in the house because everyone objects to the smell.

Yesterdays rice with chinese curry sauce stirred through it.

Melt green and blacks chocolate in a ramekin, and dip plain breadsticks into it.
Stir a small teaspoon of nutella into two tablespoons of creme fraiche and eat it.
The chicken wings off a roast chicken when it's just out of the oven.
A swipe of the roasting tray with a piece of fresh bread.

Ah, try it. Use really soft butter, and for an even better experience split the Weetabik (sp?) lengthwise and put butter on the inside too. This stops it flaking as much. Though it is still rather crumbly, and probably best eaten while sitting on your doorstep on a sunny day - like today!

Cucumber with a little salt
Bread dipped in olive oil and salt
Nutella on a teaspoon

Sugar sandwiches!

Very fresh, crusty white bread spread thickly with slightly colder-than-room-temperature real butter and granulated white sugar pressed into it.

I used to live on these as a kid.
Oh- and raw sandwiches.

Thems were the days...

emeraldstar

what are raw sandwiches????

lil'one

man i seen a documentary recently, can't remember the exact pont of it now but it did focus alot on when marmite was invented and how it was pretty much used in everything, a breakfast favourite back in the early 1900's was weetabix spread with butter and baked in the oven with a little marmite stock, basically marmite and hot water.
