white crab meat and chips in a roll
ooooooo wait. semolina with the jam mixed in, and i mean stirred till its pink lol
actually, thats sounds delicious, I love prawns. lyzzie x
My hubby thinks I am werid but I like peanut butter and cucumber sandwiches 🍞
Oh my that one is a new one for me.
Crunchy not smooth! Yummy! 😄
That changed it completely in my head.
My husband is a crunchy pb guy. I am a smooth pb girl.
No, no , no! Lol. Suppose if you like smooth it will also be nice! 😀
My dad ate crunchy, so growing up I ate it a lot. It's not bad, just on bread I prefer the smooth.
umm..ok-ay, he has my sympathies. lyzzie x
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm that's a hard one, I have a think and get back to you 
xx
Defo, a sandwich on cheese with blackcurrent jam! yum yum.. xx
😵 my goodness! It has to blackcurrant not any other then? Lol. That is a strange one. 🍑
It's delish... you should try some Clumsy_Mrs lol x
I think I will stick with my Peanut butter and cucumber! 😋 Do you have the cheese sliced or grated, I am funny and don't like sliced cheddar! Cheese is my all-time weakness!
I do like it sliced I'm afraid, like you I am partial to a nice bit of cheese! x
I love dipping a buttery biscuit (southern kind not the "cookie" biscuits that yall have/not sure what to call my buscuit) into bar b q sauce. And yeast dinner rolls into steak sauce.
Are you American Natrualnikki? Are you a peanut butter and jelly fan? 😷
Yes. Strawberry jelly with smooth peanut butter.
I tired strawberry jam and peanut butter and was very unwell, lol. Funny how different are bodies all are!
I am not sure what a yeast dinner roll is but steak sauce sounds nice! 🍖
🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thank you 🇺🇸 for Peanut butter cups!
Your welcome.
I love them as well, I have a big bag of them on my table, right now, well about half a bag.
Oh yes, Peanut Butter cups are amazing. But I agree with you about jam with peanut butter. Just tastes odd to me.
So you guys don't have biscuits or rolls. My goodness. I'm so sorry.
What do you wipe your plate clean with. 
Sponge/cloth to wash, tea towel to dry 😄
Biscuits we do! Love a good biscuit!!!! Custard Cream etc. We have like Swiss rolls lol.
Just searched yeast dinner roll. They look like bread rolls to me lol.
Yea. Pretty much, just yeast.
Though some people around here would question putting custard into a biscuit like ours, I would gladly add it. I have put dulce de Leche into a biscuit- to die for. Oh my gosh.
Well I say all that but people put jelly in there biscuits. Or sausage and white gravy smothered biscuit. - not really my taste but it's huge around here.
What is white gravy? Lyzzie x
A gravy made out of butter flour and milk.
Maybe more accurately named country gravy.
I think this kind of sauce is also called béchamel?
That's it, thought it was named something else here!
No, it appears we were lazy and just used the French name!
Our swiss rolls are cake, that's the same thing you are talking about right
Dulce de leche sounds so nice but still haven't tired it!
I have seen white gravy on USA food shows but I just looked up ingredients and wouldn't call it gravy! Lol.
Yea, Swiss rolls are cakes! It's the only roll that I could think of lol.
I like cold custard, my hubby think I am werid! Lol. They bought out vanilla salted caramel Custard here, yummy!
P.S. What do you wipe you plate clean with?
🍪
Dulce de Leche is super simple to make. I put sweetened condensed milk into mason jar seal the lid tight. Put it into a slow cooker fill it with water so it's completely submerged and cook it for 10 hours on low.
Simply amazing. I'll give those jars out around holidays and they are always a hit.
Well if there is a roll or biscuit, it gets the first wipe around the plate.
Then sponge, then dishwasher, I'm a prewasher. I have a friend who thinks I am crazy for prewashing. I just don't feel a dishwasher does that good of a job. At least I've never used one that did.
Oh my gosh, I just made a complete wolly of myself! Didn't I? You were talking about food and for some reason I thought you asking about washing up, lol. Sorry!
I might give that a try on day but having cooked or use my good old slow cooker, since I am now a hazard in the kitchen (falls, accidents) I might ask hubby to do it, haha. Sounds like a nice simple gift to give! 😄
Hey naturalnikki
Hi naturalnikki , That's a GOOD sandwich, I like strawberry preserves, you?? Peck.🐤
Preserves are good but honestly I prefer the spread which had no chunks. I guess it's just the kid in me.
lyzzie hubby has salad cream on toast! 😄
What may I ask is salad cream? Is it like ranch dressing? A cream based salad dressing?
Oh oh. Do yall have cottage cheese?
Apparently according to my search it's a thicker version of your miracle whip?
It hard to explain what it is but it made with oil and egg yolk! 😄 I prefer it more then most condiments!
I like miracle whip on a sandwich. It's a northern thing I picked up. If you ask for it here in the south, they look at you like you're crazy and ask where you're from.
Egg, vinegar, oil and seasoning make what we call mayonnaise here. No cream included but it tastes creamy . As well as salads I use it with baked or fried fish, as a dip, and as a sauce for tortillas and wraps - if it suits the ingredients of course, it's lovely with chicken.
What we call salad cream is basically the same mixture but stabilised with flour - and it's not a patch on the real stuff!
sounds good anna, I like salad cream, but wouldnt worry if it wasnt there, mayonnaise is good with chicken. Comes down to what we like the taste of doesnt it? I would like to try squid. Lyzzie x
whats miracle whip? lyzzie x
From my understanding it is like your salad cream only a little thinner. I guess.
The tangy zip of miracle whip. -commercial. It is compared to our mayonnaise. But most people either like one or the other.
Our mayo is just eggs&oil& vinegar, I guess. Where the miracle whip is flavored more. I guess that explains it. Maybe not.
I have been known to as well, not keen on Jam, but love lemon curd, you can get passionfruit curd as well, Lyzzie x
Oooo that sounds nice! UK supermarket sell it?
Naturalnikki,Dulce de leche yum! Son eats that with toast or waffles.i like cheese and pickle sandwiches.🍞
I used to do barbq sauce sandwich is pickles.
I will put dulce on anything well almost anything. It is like what dreams are made of and what will make me 2 tons, if I let it.
Canadian strong cheese with garners picked onions. .....mmmmmmmmm yum!
Love Pickled onions
Hidden are you on a 'liking' race. I can't keep up! Lol! 😋 Come on then Fibropop what's your strange food?

Tuna sandwich with
sliced garners pickled onions and vinegar mixed in the tuna. Yum

Interesting! A bit acidtic for me! Lol.
• in reply toClumsy_Mrs
Ahh, shame, missing out 👍😊
naturalnikki• in reply to
I put sweet relish in my tuna sandwich and pour a bit of the juice in there.
I also add mayo and mustard and pepper.
lyzzie• in reply to
Tuna with chopped gherkins, and I put vinegar in as well, give the tuna a bit of a kick. Lyzzie x
Oh, and cold baked beans. ...With cheese!
Chees sandwich with raw onion.
Clumsy_Mrs• in reply to

Ohh yes. Love cheese sandwich with salad cream in! 👍😊
TerryT1• in reply to
Oh most definitely!
I'm also addicted to aromat!
What is aromat?
All Purpose Savoury Seasoning. Knorr Aromat seasoning is a finely balanced blend of herbs and spices, carefully selected to bring out the best in your cooking. You can use Knorr Aromat seasoning just like salt and pepper it's very moreish!
amazon.co.uk/Knorr-Aromat-P...
Oh my god. I can't stop laughing. You went all shopping network on me. That's hilarious.
_Esined_ You might like Old Bay Seasoning from Maryland, originally used for crab but works for other dishes too. I am in the UK but have family in Maryland USA and it's well known over there.
• in reply toKrissyB
You can get it here too, I've used it and it's good.
KrissyB• in reply to
Oh good, that saves me the worry of it potentially exploding in my suitcase on the way home
KrissyB• in reply to
Another speciality, Maryland Cookies! This is a running joke in my family as they are actually not from Maryland at all, but made by Burtons Biscuits, a British company.
Rubbarb and Ginger preserve, yum!
I had that a couple of years ago and it was lovely! My wife didn't like ginger, so I had to eat it all by myself...
More for you! 😄 Ginger can be over powering sometimes! I have just seen lyzzie talk about passion fruit curd, that's my next one to try! 🍈
Passion fruit curd? I would try that very tentatively, as it is a little adventurous for me. I bet it is nice though..maybe ice cold also???
• in reply toClumsy_Mrs
It's yummy, go for it. I love that and lemon curd and lime curd. Don't like marmalade but love lime marmalade!
• in reply toTerryT1
I'm not a huge fan, but love ginger nuts and a well known ginger sticky cake!
lyzzie• in reply to
my brother was and still is a huge fan of treacle tarts. but it was to be made with bread crumbs, not corn flakes as some people do. When we were kids mum used to make a suet dumpling and we had that with treacle. We had no one breathing down our necks about what we should and shouldnt eat. Lyzzie x
• in reply tolyzzie
My mum and fam like both of those, but far too sweet for me. I like queen of pud made with bread crumbs.
TerryT1• in reply to
What's that like Hidden ? I've only ever heard of Queen of Puddings once and I've never seen it, or even know what it is? It has a very intriguing name!
• in reply toTerryT1
I hope I've got the name right.
It's bread crumbs soaked in a homemade custard. Layer of raspberry jam and a layer of meringue on top like on lemon meringue. It's lovely! 😊
TerryT1• in reply to
Oh yes! I'd happily try that alright! It sounds gorgeous!!!
lyzzie• in reply to
oh, queen of puddings is sooo good!!, I like bread and utter pudding too, mum used to spread the bread and butter with marmalade, delicious for winter pud.
Lyzzie x
• in reply tolyzzie
Yes it's great, I do like bread and butter pud with raisins in. I don't like marmalade though, sorry.
TerryT1• in reply to
lyzzie and Hidden .
The raisins would be wonderful for me, I seem to love anything with them in.
I once ate a whole box as a kid. Took a couple of days to recover and is not something I would ever do again...
lyzzie I still like treacle toffee.
I wonder if kids still make flapjacks at school, or are frowned upon for being unhealthy or something? I loved the ones I made at school and used to make them at home.
• in reply toTerryT1
I love treacle toffee, any toffee really and fudge!
Flapjacks are yummy and oats are good for you, so I like to think one every so often is good for you!n😊
so did I, for my nephews, I used to melt chocolate to layer the top, they didnt last long. Easy to make as well. Lyzzie x
Hidden and lyzzie .
It is good to know that perhaps some things don't change then!
My school was progressive for using green 'blackboards'! Can you imagine now it's all computer whiteboards and wipeable markers. My school couldn't even afford felt-tip pens, let alone wipeable ones instead of chalk. He...I remember the teachers practically rioting because all they had been given were rectangular blocks of 'French' chalk. They were hard, screeched on the board like fingernails and the writing was so faint, we couldn't see what was written if the sun shone on it! The reason it was bought was that it was cheap and with it being hard and faint, it lasted forever it seems! The teachers weren't stupid, they started leaving it behind an the ledge under the board, so the kids would steal it all the time to throw at each other! That way they could put in a requisition for another years stock of normal stuff!
• in reply toTerryT1
Ohh, my that was hard for you all. As you said children theses days don't realise.
lyzzie• in reply to
compared to that I went to a posh school, Cap and Gown! that sounds almost dickensian! still, you obviously got through it in one piece. Lyzzie x
• in reply tolyzzie
It just goes to show you though that if you're bright you can get on and Terry's very bright! 💡🎓😊
TerryT1• in reply to
lyzzie and Hidden , what are you BOTH doing up at this time??? I thought it was only people like me who couldn't sleep who were up through the night!
I guess neither of you could sleep then-I'm really sorry for you both!
I've just had half a mealful of pills-Ibuprofen, multi-vitamins with iron, cranberry and so on.
Still thinking of chocolate hair turd?
TerryT1• in reply to
Hidden I quite like ginger nuts, but then I like most biscuits I suppose.
I like Parkin in November. Since there are not as many bonfires now, it doesn't just seem to be for bonfire night anymore?
• in reply toTerryT1
I've made that for bonfire night too, fam and I love it!
TerryT1• in reply to
I never had the recipe as a kid, so we always got ours in white paper bags from local shops. Can you imagine Health and Safety these days? They were knocking put trays of the stuff in their own kitchens, breaking it into irregular-sized pieces, and shoving them into bags with hands that didn't have gloves on!
I used to love the shrink-wrapped trays you could get, with their own little hammers. We could never afford anything so posh though, so we got the loose stuff the shop owners used to make and if it was too big for my gob, my grandad used to get the hammer out of the shed, shake the spider off it and smash it with that! How on earth did we survive???
my granda used to say you eat a 'peck' of dirt before you die!! a peck is an old fashioned weight. I think we had much more resistance then because we were not mollycoddled!
When we were out playing we used to drink from the streams, wouldnt try it now though with all the pesticide run off into the water.
Think about it, bread was wrapped in tissue paper, if you brough loose sweets the lady used to just stick her hand into the jar,were still here!
Lyzzie x
Salted peanuts, sweetcorn and salt and pepper with salad cream!
Bloomin hungry now !
Oh my goodness, blooming onions! !!
I am randomly craving Cereal (yes, I know it's almost 1am, lol)
Early breakfast nothing wrong with that
talking cereals, i like darn, whats it called...not muesli, the crunchier one, Granola!!!, that on its own in a bowl, good snack, lyzzie x
Kind of like a sweet nut snack! 😀
it is, yes, kellog I thin it is do with chocolate bits in it, Ive noticed a common theme with me, involving chocolate!! Lyzzie x
Do yall do cole slaw? Shredded cabbage in something like your salad cream- I sweet relish and pepper.
Yes, I have it with onion relish, and you are right, it is lovely! Perhaps with a bit of cheese?
Never had it with cheese.
The tangyness seems to go well with the cheese...at least for me! If you ever try it, let me know what you think?
I'm gonna eat my arm in a minute if I don't venture downstairs to the kitchen! lol!
You all must have cast iron stomachs!!..I love fish finger butties, with lots of salt and vinegar, Indigestion guaranteed, but delicious. Lyzzie x.
I think ryanbone10 has the strangest one, cheese and blackcurrant jam!
Double yum yum! xx
I adore them and I can't believe anyone else likes them lyzzie ! It has to have loads of salt and vinegar though!!!
• in reply tolyzzie
Ohh my you read my mind. After talking about these thing last night. I suddenly saw a fish finger butty with lots of salt and vinigar on it and have been craving it ever since!
Glad you like them too Lizzie! 😊
Ox Tongue sandwiches are pretty nice, although it helps not to think about what it is! Also I love a 'Welsh breakfast' with lava bread (seaweed) patties.
The grossest food I've seen is salmon milts on the fish counter, which is fish sperm! Why?!
😝😝😳 Ox Tongue reminds me of Christmas, mum used to cook it for Boxing Day as part of a buffet. We (the kids) hated it and said it looked like a giant worm.
Ugh I can imagine!
Cheese on toast but with Marmite (yeast extract) spread on the toast before putting the cheese on. Brie and grape sandwiches. Sliced apple with peanut butter. Banana sandwich but has to be brown or wholemeal bread, not white. Melon with Parma ham. A bit odd but not totally weird, I hope? 😄😄😋😝
I love melon and Parma ham- so tasty. My fave starter after calimari. 🙂
Ooh I forgot about Calimari. I love it too. But has to be cooked just right. Done badly it's like fishy chewing gum. Bleeugh 😝
We have similar tastes! Haven't tried apple and peanut butter though! 😄
Surprisingly nice.
Beef pickled in Brine, absolutely gorgeous!
is that salt beef? like pastrami? lyzzie x
No, you soak a joint of beef in the brine for up to two weeks and then boil it. It tastes wonderful. The equivalent would be it is to beef what gammon is to pork, if that makes sense? x
I get you, sounds nice actually, but I have a BIG confessions, I dont know how to cook. I can manage a chicken to roast, but beyond that I have no idea, Im just not interested, I can bake, that comes from school, but proper cooking, nope. I tried to cook a rice pudding once using flaked rice as angie said it would be simpler, I didnt get the mixture right and you had to slice it like a cake. My attempt at dumplings was a disaster, i thought you had to use the whole packet of suet, I wont try and describe what it turned out like. We all have our good points! cooking isnt mine. Lyzzie x
I am surprised that you cannot cook? I have to admit that I like firm baked rice pudding, it is one of my favourites. I use to cook a great deal before I took ill and I was quite a good cook. It is usually carers now that cook for us! Ken x
Nope, I cant, mum always did the cooking until she couldnt manage any more, it made her feel she still had some purpose, I gradually took over without her realising but it wasnt food cooked from scratch if you know what I mean. I can feed myself, thats good enough for me. Lyzzie x
Oh dear. I'm partly responsible for this post and I missed it, as I had to go because of the pains!
So I'm late to the dance-I'm sorry everyone, but perhaps I can make up for it with several things I genuinely love...but might not be to everyone's taste...
Let's start with a drink!
Alcoholic, is easy. Half-and-half white rum (like Malibu if you can't get ordinary white rum) and Scrumpy. I mean real scrumpy, made from fermented apples in a bathtub and not-possibly-legal scrumpy! Not easy to get, but this 'cocktail' I invented and call a 'King Cobra' as it's a wonderful anesthetic. You don't think it's had any effect, but wonder why you can't seem to stand...
Non-alcoholic drink is also easy. Take a Lemsip (original, not extra-strength or blackcurrant or anything) and mix into a little Vimto cordial. Fill up with diet Cola, preferably Coke or Pepsi. About 9/10ths of the glass should be the fizzy drink! For some reason I seem to find this both fortifying and excellent at clearing my head when I have the snuffles.
A non-alcoholic and non-medicinal drink...Well, that would have to be a nice cup of tea with a few drops of vanilla extract in it.
Food, well some of it is on Ken's (TheAuthor 's) pinned food post here:
healthunlocked.com/fibromya...
But that is fairly mundane stuff like my three-cheese mash, Australian Damper bread and American Peach Cobbler.
I also posted there a link to an article about some of the most unusual international recipes that sound really nice-The German Fried Egg cake and the Currywurst recipes really make me drool!
But for my own stuff. Well... Cold pizza with chip shop curry and salt and vinegar is particularly nice!
Get some nice toast, plenty of butter and a slice of boiled ham, or Spam! Really nice with some cheese also (Thanks to my Grandad for that one!)
Thanks to my neighbours a while ago - Chicken or Turkey sandwiches with Daddies or HP brown sauce! It was completely new to me, but wonderful when I tried it and a great way to get rid of Christmas leftovers...
Thanks to Pete at school, I was introduced to crisps on toast!
More multicultural (and entirely my fault this one), is Indian Onion Bahjis with Greek Feta Cheese. If you are making them yourself, coat a lump of feta with onion bahji mix and fry (a bit like a Scotch egg is made).
Sandwiches? I love buttered bread, cheese and slices of pickled beetroot...Incredibly messy as everything goes purple as the bread gets all soggy and falls apart in you hand, skittering slices of beetroot everywhere...
For a sweet? Hmm...try a chocolate-chip cookie with peanut butter on it! I came across this only two weeks ago and it is lovely.
Cadbury's dairy milk chocolate with sea salt.
This seems to be most of my weird stuff. But knowing my memory I've probably forgotten something? I will post more if I have...
Oh, and don't knock chicken with baked beans, beef gravy and lashings of Coleman's mint sauce (diluted with lot's of Sarson's malt vinegar) until you have tried it! It's my all-time favouite meal of all!
Terry
Terry!! I cant believe you eat half of that stuff!!! Chicken & Beans? Excuse me while my stomach stops recoiling, have to admit though I often add mint sauce to soups!, especially when Ive thinkened it with instant mash. I do love my fish fingers though, theres a place near me where they sell their own fish cake, they are delicious in a roll as well. One thing I could never eat is that fish stew that the french eat, I'll attempt to spell it, Bouliabase?
remind me to send you some indigestion tablets. Lyzzie x
Crisp sandwich is better then on toast! 😄 I must admit a few of these seem a bit gross. Have you try the Lindt chocolate with chilli, that's a werid one! Definitely thinking of trying a few of theses!
Clumsy 👜
P.S. Bread must always be buttered!
You know you just made all our American friends feel sick? It the bread and butter thing we do. I can't agree more that bread should always be buttered, but it is totally different in America. They almost never butter bread. American sandwiches seem very dry to me, but that's because I'm a Brit and used to buttered bread. They will sometimes use mayo, but usually nothing.
I had a salt and vinegar crisp butty last night oddly enough. I've been eating Spam and cheese ones for so long, that I'm desperately looking for other things that are cheap, filling and hopefully not too expensive. Meat is always the problem, I get anemic, but can't afford much real meat, so it's almost always tinned Frankfurters or Spam.
Try tinned Franks on buttered bread with pickled beetroot, that was another good one, especially with a bit of Primula cheese spread...or Dairlea on an off day for me.
Lindt Chocolate with chilli...That seems to ring a bell, but I don't think I've actually tried it? I might have only read about it.
Do you think any of the famous telly chefs are reading our stuff and picking up ideas from us???
• in reply toTerryT1
Hi Terry
Do you,like,sardines I'm tomatoe sauce from a Tin?
That's cheap really good for you.
I put it on toast with salt and wet pepper then warm under a grill, love it.
TerryT1• in reply to
No sadly. My gran loved them, but told me about crunching down on their skulls and sometimes not having all the innerds pulled out...I'm afraid I've never triwed them, they are probably lovely, but she put me off for life...
Hi Terry, I definitely think if our post were locked they would have loads of ideas, lol. I really like spam too, never had in a sandwich. What about tinned corned beef? I also seen tinned pulled pork (I haven't tried it) Afamily member of mine likes tinned meatballs in a roll!
Personally I didn't like the chilli chocolate but you have to try it. Normally the stranger mixes are the nicest!
No offence to our America friends but I thought they lived butter on everything. On Man Vs Food that's all I see ,lol.
Clumsy 👜
Meatballs on a roll? OK, that's a new one to me... I bet it is nice though, you would have bread with a meal that had meatballs after all.
I love tinned corned beef with Daddies brown sauce! I've had to give it up though as I can't seem to get the corned beef as cheaply as Spam.
Perhaps butter is a regional thing in America? I really only know the East coast/New England part well and there they not only don't seem to use butter, but think it's sickening to have it on bread. Only on toast apparently.
I could live on bread and butter!
I am not a fan of meatballs in tin but apparently squashed in a sandwich roll, it's nice! Lol. Let me know if you try!?
That's a shame about corned beef, yummy! I know there are cheaper 'supermarket' brand versions but they are not as nice!
🍞
Tinned corned beef isn't even that many calories if you look at the tin. Then consider I scrape all the fat off it as well. It's really filling too...If only I could get it a bit cheaper. I do remember once it went on sale for a really good price and cleared the shop out of all the 47 cans they had! He gave me a grim face the next time I went in because the wholesalers had sold of them and so I'd got every can but one that he'd bought for all of his customers. Apparently that one can I missed, was because he'd already taken it off the shelves for his lunch!
Reading what you said about the meat balls rolled in bread, caused me a sort of mini-flashback. Do you or does ANYONE remember the name of the brand of the tins you used to (still can?) get of stuffed pork roll? Do you know I might not have had that for a quarter of a century? That sounds so long ago! Crikey I'm getting awfully old...
Terry, I have no idea sorry. Sounds strange!
All the talk of corned beef today. So had corned beef salad.🍲 Lucky it wasn't all taken off the shelves, lol.
😀
Oh I'm glad you had corned beef salad! Very nice!
I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the tinned stuffed pork roll? I think it was this:
nationaltrustcollections.or...
I remember the name 'Tyne Brand' but I seem to remember it in a white can, with the lable printed directly on the metal and not a paper lable anymore. I think this might be an early one, but look where it is...
Things I remember eating are now museum exhibits!!!
I tried chocolate with Marmite once, it was a joke Christmas gift. Not doing that again 😝😳
Oh yes, I REALLY like all of these as well lyzzie ! You should hear what my wonderful wife used to say about it! She even used to complain that her eyes would water from the vinegar fumes...
Chicken/Turkey with baked beans came from my Gran. It was Sunday dinner, a small chicken with stuffing, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes, baked beans and lots of brown gravy. The reason is 'lost in the mists of time' sort of thing, as I have no idea why I got that for Sunday dinners for as long as I can remember. It might have been that baked beans were the only 'veg' I could eat as a kid? I would never touch any green veg at all, except for occasionally a few peas. It was only years later that I found out I'm a 'super-taster' (I'm a genetic mutation!!!), but what it means is that I have a variation on one of my genes that makes chlorophyll in green leafy vegetables, taste very bitter. So I used to get hit, just because I could taste things more strongly!
As for the mint sauce, I can't eat chicken or turkey without it! I have absolutely no idea where it came from. It was always part of the Sunday/Christmas diner and I love it!
Once just to prove something to my wonderful wife, I did drink a (small) cup of neat malt vinegar on it's own and undiluted! I will however admit to it making me let out a right burp afterwards. Sorry! The things she would call me for that... (grin!)
hi terry, we always had mince sauce with chicken and turkey, we never bothered with the rules in our family, not that we could afford lamb, we always had mint sauce with cottage pie, anything we fancied. My brother used to love that horrible processed cheese, looked like squares of rubber, he had it in sandwiches with tomatoe sauce. Thats odd about the green vegetables, my ganda used to grow lots, so did mum, but pease arnt one of my favorites, and mushy peas are disgusting. I havnt forgotten your soup on sandwiches!!. In tesco they sell at reduced prices the ham and stuff they havnt sold the day before, you can find some really good bargains. Lyzzie x
Hi lyzzie . I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has mint sauce with chicken and turkey then! I was worried it was only me, as everyone I've ever told, has looked at me like I'm from another planet! Can you imagine what they would make of my other concoctions then eh?
Yes, it's the soup butty that seems to stop people and make them think...I wait until they have settled down a bit, before I let them in on the fact that I butter the bread first... Well, the soup is quite salty and it goes so well with the butter...Lurpak!
recipe for my Ideal Salad!
A THIN bed of lettuce if you REALLY have to...
Two boiled eggs, sliced
Two large tomatoes, sliced
A can of Spam sliced, or similar boiled ham sliced
Half a jar of pickled beetroot
About 1lbs of grated strong cheddar, or crumbled Cheshire/Lancashire cheese
Potato salad to taste (no, I'm not being facetious here...)
About half a cup of vinegar lashed all over everything (the cheese should soak up a lot of it, becoming effectively, pickled cheese..
About 2 days worth of salt sprinkled lovingly all over everything
Absolutely NO bread, or oil/salad dressing - Ruins the vinegar!
Don't eat all day, you need to be really hungry and it is about a day's worth of calories here.
Devour! If you get it right, the vinegar you put on and from the pickled beetroot should leave you sweating at the end, like a strong curry meal will.
I've not had this in years with being more cautious with the calories these days, but I remember those salads fondly!!!
• in reply toTerryT1
My gram used to soak cucumber and onions in vinigar as she said that it helped you digest them, since read she was right. Still think of her when I see that.
TerryT1• in reply to
Oh yes! I get Hayward's sweet pickled onions when I can afford them, as they are closest I can get to decent raw onions here!
I like pickled cucumbers also, aren't they also called 'gherkins'?
Your Gran had good taste Hidden !

I love pickled veg and chutneys, the only thing I don't like is gherkins, the rest of my family love them. Don't ask me why as I love sauerkraut and carrots grated in some kind of vinigar you get abortions. I always bring lots of jars back with me as I can't get it here.

Your spellchecker is doing it to you again Hidden !
I'm sorry, I can't guess what that one word was going to be???
When I was visiting a sick friend in Birmingham many years ago, the hospital had a little cafe run by the WRVS and they introduced me to buttered bread with a slice of processed cheese on it and Heinz Ploughman's pickle. While my grandad used to like piccalilli on his cooked meals.

Love it and have made it, we love it with cheese and cooked meats too.
Do you mean the German pickled cabbage? Sauerkraut? I hate this thing you think you've spelt it and it changes it! 🤔
TerryT1• in reply to
No...(gritted teeth)...I meant the abortions in jars...
• in reply toTerryT1
Ohhhhh..my I missed it‼️ How did I do that?
Made me laugh.
Not abortions - supposed to say abroad.
Sorry ☹️

Aha! Now that makes sense... I was worried how you were going to explain that at customs...

Dont worry, soon figured it out!!. If you like pickled veggies go down the world food aisle at Tesco, they do some polish pickled veg mixtures that are scrumptious with ham, cheese that sort of thing. I dont like pickles but used to help mum make chutneys and stuff. I really do love anchovies!. Yes there are some of us out here that actually like those little devils.

I have never seen the pickled carrot. I like them too and fresh too. Thanks 👍😊
good grief terry, its a wonder you arnt pickled, that makes me feel ill thinking about it!...by the way, I love salad, but i make mine with lots of lettuce, grated carrot, tomato, cucumber, SOME beetroot, Peppers, andything handy, chope it up and toss it around in some salad dressing, very nice and reasonably cheap as well,..your salad would kill me! lyzzie x
I probably am lyzzie . It might explain why midges make a bee line for me! (can midges make a bee line?)
One day they will try to take a blood sample, and the needle will dissolve...
You know those reddy-brown plastic bottles of Sarson's vinegar you can buy? Lasts me about 5 days. I buy 5 litre plastic drums of it from Asda.
Since I'm having to be very careful with money right now, I've cut the vinegar in half. and also go for the cheapest brand. It's not the same...
The bizarre thing is that I can't drink coffee and still don't like green leafy vegetables much as the taste is too strong for me... I dunno, I'm just weird!
Your salad sounds very nice! A little mild for me perhaps, but still very nice.
You should know...with my salad the potato salad is best eaten by the forkful from it's container. Better not to put it on the same plate as the mayo curdles in the vinegar...I'm OK with that, I'm used to it! But it might put you off??? Ahm!
I dont drink coffee anyway, the caffeine plays hell with my heart beat. I have de-caff Tea. I do love cheese, but thats expensive as well isnt it? they say now we are out of the EU the prices are going to get worse. Do you live in a city Terry? Im in the country, and we have lots of farm shops around us that are much cheaper than the supermarkets. I dont shop in our local shop, we only have the one, their bread is £1.80 a loaf as opposed to the supermarkets 80p, thats a big difference. I like vinegar on cabbage, you know I had no idea what a lot of different tastes we all have!. I think no.1 for me would be the banana mashed on toast, you must try it, dont use unripe ones though, you need to be able to squish them. Bananas are also quite cheap, I prefer thick sliced toast.
Lyzzie x
Yes lyzzie I'm right in the centre of a big city. It's why food is cheap, but it has no quality. I've tried about 40 different 'types' of onions from different supermarkets and they are all the same. Sweet onions, shallots, red onions, vidalias, they are all bitter and or ridiculously strong raw and completely tasteless cooked.
• in reply tolyzzie
My fav salad is mixed said leaves and baby spinach, grated raw beat too, celery, diced cucumber, finely cut up toms, baby eggs, finely chopped shallots, finely chopped green pepper, small bits of feta cheese and a white wine dressing, yum!
lyzzie• in reply to
sounds perfect to me, you sound as though you just throw in what you've got as I do. I particularly like grated carrot, I enjoy celery cooked as well, thats a left over from school meals I think. I just love vegetables, swede is a favorite as well, and sweet potatoes you can roast them, make crisps out of them alsorts and eat them raw. Lyzzie x
• in reply tolyzzie
Me too Lizzie although family not too keen on it cooked. My fav it cooked swede with salt and white pepper and sprouts.
I love veg too.
Have you tried roosting cauliflower, yummy! 😊
My own granary bread toasted with lashings of butter and Ardennes pate - heaven
oh yes, me too, but I like the Belgian pate. Gorgeous, unfortunately the dog likes it too. Lyzzie x
lol 
I'm sorry to be an idiot annacruachan and lyzzie , but I've not heard of Ardennes pate before, what does it taste like? I'm intrigued!
its very good terry, essentially I believe its made with liver? the belgian pate is soft and smooth, the Ardennes is slicable is the best way to describe it, both are good, especially with fresh bread. Try it, its not expensive. Lyzzie x
Ahh...You mean posh Sutherland's beef spread then!
(cheeky grin...)
It sounds quite different to anything I've had before actually, so I will keep an eye open for it now. Thank you!
very funn, seriously, if your budget conscious, Tesco do what they call an"everyday" range, and they do a soft pate which is just as tasty, try that, I hate meat pastes, the only paste i will eat is sardine and Tomato. Lyzzie x
Yes, I've occasionally shopped online with Tesco and know their 'Everyday' range. Thank you for that, I've made a note to have a look next time I order from them. Hopefully I'll like it!
Thanks lyzzie .
I hope you dont have as many problems with their site as I do, I find its a nightmare sometimes, I wouldnt bother but its easier, and Anglea my friend I usually go shopping with has arthritis in her shoulder so doing the shopping on line saves her lifting everything about. Its only the site, the people who deliver are really nice and helpful. Good system when all said and done. [and I can sneak some goodies in!] Lyzzie x
Actually, I do have a lot of problems ordering online from several places. Some don't like internet explorer, while others don't like firefox, or chrome and so on. It's really frustrating, but I can't get to the shops, so have to order online sadly.
I like being able to slip in a few goodies though!
thought you might. I sometimes shop at this time of night, but it particularly seems to hate that!. I get there in the end.
Im going to bed now, I think I,ll be able to sleep, so should you, or at least try.
Good night terry, sleep tite, dont let the bed bugs bite.
Lyzzie x
Chips and thick gravy!!!
love that too, nice and squishy. Lyzzie x
Hidden and lyzzie - I've not heard of this one before! I'm not sure I have the courage to make it on my own,but I'd have a go at it, if someone else was having some?
My OH made this for the 1st time several year ago and it's yummy....plain yougert, crushed pineapple, add french vanilla liquid coffee creamer.Mix ingredients and put in the freezer until it's a frozen slush.This is yummy!! Try it, I think you will like it Peck.🐤
can you use other fruit? you've chosen the only fruit I dont like! I imagine it would work with strawberries? , gooseberries? Lyzzie x
Actually it does sound kind of nice! I will try that next time I have some 'nanas. Thank you!
Hidden , Maybe not for breakfast but try banana and p - nut butter....good stuff!! Peck.🐤
I forgot about this one! Yummy! Love banana sandwiches!
I think this post could run and run (to the fridge hee hee). Just remembered having Gypsy Tart when I was younger which apparently comes from my area!
whats that? my aunt was a school cook and used to make us chocolate toothpaste, remember that? Lyzzie x
I Don't remember chocolate toothpaste? Gypsy tart is a very sweet concoction of evaporated or condensed milk and muscovado sugar in a pie crust.
it has a short bread base, and a dense chocolate paste on top, finished off with a blob of typically school cream. this is very much a school desert. I used to love school custard and refuse to eat mums. much to her irritation!. lyzzie. Time for bed, the dog keeps grumbling for me to go!! Lyzzie x
Sounds like a yummy kind of toothpaste! Yes, I should settle down and try to get some sleep. I think I may be becoming nocturnal
I didnt dare admit that Im not fond of peanut butter either, I have to really fancy eating it if you know what I mean, but I thought I might get lynched as most of this mob seem to love the stuff and do some very strange things with it. Lyzzie x
I blame this post! I just baked some battered fish for supper, the chips from the back of the fridge were were not salvageable....
your going to give yourself something nasty before your done! I cant talk though, Im for ever leaving stuff out of the freezer, and ruining it, I could have cried over the litre of ice cream I forgot to put back and it melted into a disgusting mess! Lyzzie x
I've melted ice cream-But I froze it again! If I'm honest, it wasn't as nice, but I finished it off. That was a few years ago though. Now I've got no money coming in and there apears to be a serious mess-up over my benefits that could delay them goodness knows how much longer? I've just been told there are sanctions against me, because I'm not co-operating over my children. Yuo should have heard the long silence on the phone this morning when I said I don't have any children. She's contacting the person who worked out the form to try and find out what on earth is going on?
Anyway, all I have left is what was left after my wife's funeral, so I have to slow down spending money as much asI possibly can. I'm basically living off cheese and sometimes spam sandwiches, and whatever is left in the fridge & freezer. These chips said best before sometime in 2012...Well, I thought I'd give them a try, but the way they tasted...well, even I'm not mad enough to risk them like that, even if they did all look fine.
probabley had freezer burn. I dont know what to say about your benefits, they just dont seem to realise that they have real people on the end of the phone. I think they breed these benefits officers somewhere so that can get rid of any traces of compassion. Keep after them, if you dont they wont bother until they are ready, never mind you might be starving on the street,...please take care, Lyzzie x Always here if you need to rant a bit.
I'd really best not say anything about benefits officers right now! Here I am trying to eat frozen chips that are four years out of date, so I can pay the rent for the flat and they are saying that I'm not entitled to benefits, because I'm not co-operating over my children...when I don't have children? You can imagine that what I am saying here is the cleaned-up version of what I am REALLY thinking about them making a mistake like that...
I don't know who's fault it is, or how it happened. All really that matters at the moment is that it gets sorted out quickly...please...!
Thank you very much for your kind thoughts though, I need them today and I'm VERY grateful for them!
thats so crazy, mind you, my brother has just retired, he's paid all his life into a private pension and because he did they now want to stop eighty pounds a week from his government pension, I wish I could wave a magic wand for you terry but those ratbags are a law unto themselves. Try and sleep. Lyzzie x
You are right lyzzie . I understand they are overworked and that mistakes happen, but so many are happening to me, that I have to question why so many things do KEEP happening? I've not heard back from them today, so it's likely now to be several days before I hear anything and know what is going on (hopefully)? Then all I have to hope for is that it can be sorted fairly quickly.
As my Grandad used to say. 'It never rains, but it pours...'
true, but it doesnt help when your on the receiving end does it? any chance of going to see them face to face? otd harder for them to wriggle when your in front of them. I had a huge problem when my mum died, i had been her carer and only had a little income support in my own name, so when she died I lost everything, even the measly slive of income support. It took them six weeks to sort things out, in that time I got threatened with eviction from the housing association and allsorts. I went to the town hall and saw a friend of mine in the Benefits office, she helped me and the guy who threatened me just two days after I lost mum got his backside kicked. Doesnt help you I know, but they are equal opportunity idiots. Lyzzie x
Thank you for the kind words. I regret to say that it is what it might come to. Despite being ill and it costing a fortune in taxi fares for me, it might be the only way to get someone to do something?
Thank you lyzzie I am just so very sorry it was all so bad for you...
dont be, I was trying to show you that you will get through this. You might not think so at the moment, but yu will. Have you not seen anyone face to face over this mess? You should, they cant fob you off when your sitting there. Never be rude, it gets you no where, a smile and a quick joke completely flummoxes them! seriously, be polite, it will get you a lot further, dress nice too, appearance counts for a lot in these places, been there done that and got the T shirt. Make an appointment if you can. Did you ever get in touch with Cruse? let me know how you get on. Lyzzie x
Yes, Social Services actually came to the flat to sort everything out for me. I was kind-of warned afterwards by another Social worker that the one who had been assigned to me, might not be competent. I have called his boss three times two weeks ago and I'm still waiting to hear from her.
When I've gone in (years ago) they say they have things sorted out, take all the details and make all the right noises, but nothing had changed and the mistakes carried on being made. I nearly always am polite, perhaps too polite as they tell me all the right things, but change nothing. Either that or this Social Services worker I've got landed with is so much of a maverick, that they can't control him at all?
oh dear, as soon as social workers are involved common sense goes out of the window. I have no time at all for most of them, they seem to be completely useless, you only have to look at the awful messes they make with childrens services. Maybe they are over worked, but thats no excuse when its your lifestyle they are messing with, all you can do is keep after them, Does anyone else on the site have any advice to offer? anyone on admin have expertise in that area? all i can do is sympathise, I really really hope it sorts itself out soon. Try to sleep. Lyzzie x
I'm so glad you said that lyzzie They work hard and under often impossible situations I know, but sometimes I am staggered at how they got this situation going? I mean now I'm over the initial shock, I'm wildly curious about 'my' children. How many am I supposed to have, who is their mother-My wife, or is there a fictitious mother now as well??? Did she get me drunk, or was it Rohypnol? Only I don't remember any of it...
More seriously, have they just mixed my notes up with someone else with the same/similar name? Or is it some sort of mega-major brain fart he's had and my case worker has just invented them all out of nowhere? You don't know how bizarre it feels to be told officially I have a whole family I'm not supporting, when they do not and never have existed! I'm beginning to feel like the only sane one left here...??? I have to admit, that having just lost the only real family I have left (my wonderful wife), it's really upsetting. I mean people wouldn't believe this if I called the papers.
All this because some idiot didnt do their job properly, it just doesnt make any sense what so ever, maybe you should tell the papers, local MP, anyone who will listen!.
Terry, no offence, but do you have food banks around where you live? it might help you through this time? You could always donate back to them when thing do settle. It would help you out at a bad time. I feel stuck because I dont know how to help you.
Best wishes terry. Lyzzie x
lyzzie I had to go and have a sleep, I was feeling so bad. I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I think this level of 'mistakes' should be exposed, but I can't do it. I'm just not up to any more fights right now. I've had to stuffing well and truly knocked out of me.
No offense taken about the food banks, they are a good idea, but I can't get to any of them. I have called them, explained my situation, but not one of them has been willing to help. Saying they 'don't deliver'. So the only help I've been able to get is the Vicar who did a sermon on 'Devotion' and used my wife and I as the subject of it and has brought me some items every month or two. While a friend of my wife's (who is only on benefits herself) and yet has been bringing me odd bits of food also. If I do get benefits and it's is backdated, I will be paying them both back, I feel so guilty and yet right now I don't have any choices.
Thank you so much for your kind words Lyzzie.
you dont need to feel guilty about people helping you, they wouldnt do it if they didnt want to. Thats horrible about the food banks, they are there to help people, not be dismissive like that. Im so sorry Terry I feel as bad as you and wish I could help and I dont know how. Can you talk about you wife or does it upset you? How long have you been a widower? You never forget them terry but you'll be able to get through the day without her dominating your life, it takes a lot of time, but it does change, just hang in there okay? I've lost 3 people I cared for, two of them deeply, actually, make that 4, I think it took me about five years to put things behind me a bit, but when I dont feel well, well, I still want my mum. Bless you Terry, I could throttle these people for putting you through this at the worse time in your life. Lyzzie x
Thank you very much lyzzie . Feeling guilty about seemingly everything is a very big part of the problems I have. Being brought up to believe everything is always my fault and so on.
I guess food banks are overstretched. I can't hide the fact that I was so disappointed at their dismissive attitude. I mean I can't be the only one who is too ill to go to these places, especially without a car? I mean if I could afford a taxi, I wouldn't be needing the food in the first place. And even then it is a big strain physically. I can't be the only one in that situation, but I don't know how others cope with it.
I lost my most wonderful wife 6 months ago now. It is still all feeling so unreal, like a nightmare but one I'm not waking up from.
I've lost everyone. No close family anymore and my only friends are on here.
You really are most kind. Thank you so much for your words.
This may sound awfully gross but it is fantastic --- a sandwich with slices of a good meaty poultry stuffing like M&S pork,sage and onion,squished cold sprouts and cranberry sauce .sprinkled with a little salt and pepper.Just the thing on Christmas night when you really feel there's no room to fit in anything else but are still peckish. Yum yummy and even more yummy.

if you say so,...like the turkey bit though. Lyzzie x
That's the point there is no turkey.!

If I can add vinegar, it sounds good to me!
Haven't tried vinegar but these are great at lunchtime on Boxing Day with a bottle of cold beer-- very yum yum.
It's an acquired taste,but after reading some other combinations on this post I don't think it's so bad in comparison.
Crusee
XX
Oh no, this is quite digestible compared to some of my stuff! That's why I'd have no problem with trying it! Actually it does sound very nice to me.
I used to have pork and stuffing sandwiches as a kid, which might be why I can imagine what yours would taste like so clearly and know I'd like it!
Stuffing is only really bread anyway, so it's going to taste good I bet!
Thank you.
If you don't have cranberry try apple sauce.........
But you can't get away with a low grade stuffing that's what makes it.
XX
Yes and I think I can see why? A low-grade stuffing would be pretty much bread and spices, but a luxury one contains fats which will not only add to the taste, but make it easier to swallow and improve the texture I bet?
Yes the M&S one is particularly nice.Very rich and very meaty,almost a meal in itself.
You need substance in the sandwich and there's your answer.
I'm craving stuffing now!
I think I've got some Paxo, a bit of butter, some beans, brown gravy and mint sauce with lots of salt and vinegar! Not exactly sprouts, but I do have an open tin of garden peas. I wonder if I'd be able to cook it?
If I drool on the keyboard, I blame you Crusee !
Sounds more like ready steady cook- ha ha ha

I used to love watching that! Maybe it's where I got my willingness to try odd combinations of food from?
How they could make meals of some of those combinations of ingredients I'll never know!
Probably because they only had to taste a very small morsel and fake a smile on their faces it was enough to convince some poor unsuspecting buggar it was delicious.
It must have been undercooked as well,there was no way on earth some of that stuff was cooked in the time allocated .
Oh well if it gets an audience who's to question it?

Remember the 'Galloping Gourmet' Graham Kerr? He used to pick someone out of the audience to taste his meals, but he used to cook them properly as he wasn't on a clock though.
Ah yes I do remember him.
I always wanted to be that person but a couple of weeks he cooked what in my eyes were revolting dishes,and wouldn't it have been embarrassing if it was a dish you thought was vile.Would you. say something before accepting the invitation to dine with him?
Thinking.back at all of all the TV cooks over the years there have been a pretty mixed bag.
Zena Skinner,flamboyant Fanny,Keith Floyd,to name but a few - and phew it was too!!!!
Right must find a cold drink to take tabs with. Got a banging headache which has woke me,
Catch you later.
Crusee
I'm sorry about your headache. I hope the pills put paid to it!
I didn't like the sound of the things he cooked on the Galloping gourmet much either, but he seemed so good at it, that I would have loved to have been the person he picked, in the hope that it would taste good anyway?
I'm a bit of a finniky eater anyway, so a lot of what they cook on TV isn't really to my tastes, but I put that down to me, not a lack of their skills!
Headache only just gone after 2 doses of tabs .Wearing me out I seem to gave had it for days .Even teeth aching this morning Knees are bright red , hot , and sore and what the hell is going on?.
I think GG got away with the crap food because he was a good entertainer- there was nothing about him you could dislike really.He always looked like he was putting heart and soul into the food even if it was rubbish so you couldn't help but like him and by then he had stirred everyone up into such a frenzy they wouldn't care what they were eating.
as I have got older my tastes in food have changed - a more mature palate I would prefer to call it.You learn to appreciate the finer things in life eg.Even just little things such as -
I would always buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese now for shaving or grating over bolognese,soups etc as opposed to that foul vomit smelling pre grated stuff they call Parmesan in tubs.
Oops here I go soap box mo e t - shut up crusee you will overstay you're welcome.
Have a good day Terry- so what's on the menu today then?
Crusee
XX
Well I can't afford to be too fussy right now, so it's really basic stuff this weekend. Grated cheese I got on sale, boiled eggs and turkey spam. Again all were on sale, so it's them all weekend, and probably next week as well. I also have fat free cottage cheese (not on sale), so can't have too much of.
If I get really desperate I've a 99p frozen chicken dinner from 2 years ago and I think 6 more small pieces of bettered fish that was best before 2012 in the freezer. I also have a can of peas and a can of baked beans, so some veg. and variation there!
My tastes have certainly changed over the years. Not as fussy now and more tolerant of green leafy vegetables...but still can't stand coffee of the smell of cooking cheese!
Have you any potatoes Terry?
These are always a good cheap,standard staple to have around.
Do some mashed potatoes.fry a couple of eggs and put on top.Then grate some cheese and grill till melted.
Serve with big chunks if crusty bread- that should fill you up for a bit.
If you need meat then add some turkey spam either to the heap or as an added meat side dish or even a couple of small pieces of the fish.
Budget is the thing which holds us all back.
But always make sure you get spuds in If there's nothing else a big dollop of mash does it for me every time.
Take care,
XX
Me too, more than even soup, mash helps me when things are short. I have some instant mash , but I want to hold onto the next pack until next week. It will hopefully be a while before I have to order again. But when I do, I'm going to be getting more instant mash. Mash and gary, mash and beans and mash and cheeses are all standbys for me.
Mash butties might not be the most appetising of meals, but they ae great when I am cold and/or really hungry.
Thank you Crusee !
Left over cottage pie, roughly mixed, spread on toast under the grill, brown sauce, magic!
Marmite and tomato sandwiches, the saltiness goes just right.
Lemon love cake from school puddings, sweet crust pastry spread with lemon curd and a sponge mix top then bake and serve with chocolate custard, yum...
Apart from the brown sauce, that sounds delicious, I have some mince in the freezer, I think I'll have a go at that...I think school meals have a lot to answer for in our adult tastes dont they? I used to love the gravy our school cooks made, and the custard, oh do you remember prunes and custard? We also used to have rhubarb chunks in jelly with a topping a cake crumbs, lovely,
Now Im hungry,..Lyzzie x checking out and heading for the fridge.
