Salad cream ??? Marmite ??? What's your foodie weird things

[gremlin]

Just for info...

Bacon and salad cream, meh... nah, not really.

Why would you even try? I mean, I know we all need to open minded, but you already know that's gonna taste like feltching from a fat builder's sweaty arse crack.

A butty shop in MK did bacon and egg mayo sarnies. Lovely

It wasn't terrible... just didn't bring a lot to the taste either way.

Which could be, I suppose, applicable to both scenarios.

Give HP a miss. It's just sweet gunge compared with how it was. Give Stokes a try. In fact almost all the Stokes stuff is 'grown up' versions of the shite turned out by the usual suspects. The tom ketchup still needs a whack on the bottom of the bottle.

I had a side dish with my last Indian takeaway which included a Tamarind* sauce on the side. It was the most heavenly version of a brown sauce I've ever had.

*never entirely sure if I've got the right word with that one, or if I'm referring to a small monkey

Even more confusing if it was made out of tamarisk/tamarix.

Honey and Crunchy Peanut Butter toasted sandwiches

The Mobiles wrote a song about it:



Cheese and pineapple, yes. Cheese and Marmite, yes. Pineapple and Marmite. No, emphatically no.

Possibly my weird thing is trying food I've never tried before. Especially if it's made of meat, most parts of an animal are edible.

Lobster bisque should be made with cooked and ground up shells as one of the basic ingredients.

My 'yogurts' are a thing of constant eyeroll in our house. Fuckin' weirdos.

1 Greek yogurt
1 little tub of Lidl custard
A handful of flame raisins
A handful of walnuts
Half a tin of fruit cocktail
A little grated stem ginger
Mix it all up and add crunchynut cornflakes and a banana to the top.

brown sauce

You know, now I'm fifty I think I qualify as being old enough to give this brown sauce a try now

Just been and got some Stokes at Waitrose! A lot of coin for a small bottle? Still if its nice, it'll be regularly stocked. WHilst I was there i saw they sold Grey Poupon, so I bagged a jar of that too.

I eat plenty of light Greek yoghurt.
With mashed strawberries, raisins/currants and spoon of cocoa powder

[Yambo]

There's not much I don't eat but I don't like currants, sultanas and raisins although I happily eat grapes.

I often eat yorridge for breakfast - 50 grams of porridge or rolled oats mixed into 250 grams of yoghurt. Mix well and stick it in the fridge overnight. In the morning add some crushed nuts, fruit and honey. You probably won't need lunch.

Marmite is usually on the list of things I'll ask to be brought from UK by visitors

I'll often make a sandwich with a flat roll, cream cheese instead of butter, tuna mashed up with either salad cream (hard to get here so another thing from UK) or Heinz chilli mayonaisse and a few sliced pickled jalapeno peppers.

I'm the only Brit expat it seems that enjoys Şalgam suyu (the peppery versıon). it goes well with fish and as a chaser with rakı which of course goes well with fish too.

Overnight oats ^. T'was all over Insta a few years back.

I make mine with frozen fruit in the mix before leaving overnight.

Which one, the brown or the tomato? iirc they're about £4.40. There used to be a great café/bakery place above Steamer Trading kitchen shop in Guildford and they served a 'pigwitch' bacon sarnie with either Stokes brown or tomato. It went when Steamer Trading went bust.

I miss that place.

The brown sauce, which was 3.50 and, fwiw, the grey poupon was 2.65.

Braunston do a fruity brown sauce, if you can find it anywhere, very nice on just about anything other than Frosties.

[Silly Car]

Fish finger and salad cream sandwiches are great, naturally, tartare sauce would be better but salad cream has enough vinegary bite to offset the lack of capers and iirc gherkins.

Frozen triangles of grated potatoes are great if you accept them for what they are, i.e. not real hash browns

Chipolatas, bread and butter with dollop of ketchup on the plate for tea in front of the tv as kids

A favourite from childhood*, Easter egg sandwiches, must be milk chocolate, sliced white bread and butter, better if the chocolate has been in the fridge so it snaps as you bite into the sandwich. No condiments are necessary

One from my brother in law, he carefully eats the white of a fried egg, leaving the yolk intact before putting the whole yolk in his mouth and popping it. That’s a step too far for me

Marmite peanut butter was fab until I created dry roasted peanut butter, eg, ground up dry roasted peanuts, which taste the same but have a deeper flavour.

* my sister and I believe these were invented by my mother following one year’s Easter weekend where we had a glut of chocolate eggs in celebration of JC dying on a cross. Neither of us can remember exactly when this started but the tradition has continued for decades as did chipolatas for tea on Saturdays, one of my daughter’s, my niece and nephew are all fan of Easter egg sandwiches, my other daughter, the weirdo , isn’t such a fan. There is a dim and distant memory of mum talking about having mars bar sandwiches at some point during her youth which may have been the source of the idea.

Is this the right time to introduce crisp sarnies?

Stokes sauces are made round the corner from my mates house, I'm not impressed by their tomato ketchup, but they do some good barbecue sauces, every farm shop round here sells a good range of their sauces.
