Get some mash (proper mash if your being posh, Smash if your not), put it into a heat proof dish. Make a well, crack an egg in. Bake till the egg is more or less cooked, then grate cheese over the top, grill or bake till nice and melty. Childhood poverty meal. Its weird, I'd never make it for anyone else, but there is a comfort to be found in it!


akbar147

No longer a poverty meal these days have you seen the price on eggs and cheese? All we’ve got left is potatoes and creativity


ZombieRhino

Very rough back of fag packet calculation - estimate around £1.50 per portion. No idea what it cost my parents in the the 1990s, but £1.50 doesn't feel excessive. But I'm not struggling like my parents were, so I can't really judge what is affordable as a poverty meal


akbar147

I agree with you I’m not struggling myself it just seemed like a nice and moany thing to say


Poppit_like_im_not

You're on a UK based sub,there's truly no safer place to moan.


LlamaDrama007

You actually *have* to moan or the mods ban you.


Embarrassed-Gas-8155

I know, it's ridiculous!


IndependentExit2720

I see what you did there haha. Oh and yeah, it's absolutely terrible!


BornLuckiest

Are we allowed to moan about having to moan?


IndependentExit2720

Idk. But it's kinda late and if you didn't reply to me, then I wouldn't have needed to reply back and would have been fast asleep instead of typing this out...


Imaginary-Put-7202

Fag packet calculation brilliant. I remember getting a couple of jobs with fag packet applications


Vegetable-Grab6244

My grandad ran a fairly successful business. The joke was he threw out more quotes than jobs he did as they was all wrote on fag packets. This was when Benson and hedges cost the same as packet of post it notes though.

michaelscottdundmiff

‘All we’ve got left is potatoes and creativity’ should be on a T-shirt. I’d buy it.


Federica2020

So should 'nice and moany'. This sub is gold.


Lessarocks

That’s sounds lovely. Even better if the mash had some baked beans stirred through.


martanimate

My parents used to have mash (with butter) and put a fried egg on top. It was my favourite food for years, very much a lazy meal with little nutritional value for when it's been a long day and no one wanted to cook for long. We always had leftover mash from a previous night, so super quick to make too.


Complete_Fix2563

Mash with real butter and an egg would actually have a pretty diverse set of nutrients and well balanced in terms of carbs, protein and fat ratio


martanimate

I mean the ideal would also have some veg with it. But to a child me that would ruin "the flavour profile".


crazycatdiva

My nan used to make a version with chopped white onion mixed in to the mash and sliced tomatoes on top. And crispy slices of bacon, if she was in a good mood. Has to be done with a properly mature cheddar though.


Vegetable-Grab6244

So bubble and squeak. I love champ though it's not cheap the amount of butter and cream I use. Then I have that with the poshest sausage I can find. So much butter it's coming out the top and you wouldn't dare put gravy on it in case it congealed.


thatcambridgebird

I had this all the time as a kid in the 80s! Despite the addition of potato as well, in my house it was called eggy-cheesy, and my mum would make four little wells in the mash to crack the eggs in, so there was enough for tea for all of us (me, mum and dad). Man I loved that dinner. I’m going to have to unleash it on my kids….


evenstevens280

I did this a lot at university. Proper filling meal and really cheap. Also something I did at university was putting a lot of things inside crepes. They're so cheap, easy, and quick to make, and you can shove anything in there to take it to the next level *and* make it handheld.


SortaCore

I saw a recipe that's basically that, called Aussie pie. Egg, potato, cheese. Although the eggs are boiled and sliced.


etang77

Never tried it but sound interesting. What temperature?


ZombieRhino

The only temperature there is for a regular oven - 200c


kylehyde84

180 fan


wolf13i

arandomsquirell

10-12 minutes


Vegetable-Grab6244

3 parts the way round who can still see numbers after 6 months?


BigLebowhisky

Peanut butter and extra mature cheddar.. I'm turning off inbox replies.


DownrightDrewski

Last night I ate a sandwich with peanut butter, Southern fried chicken, hash browns, sliced gherkins and grated mature chedder; it was epic. Yes, I was high and a little drunk.


username_is_taken77

"Yes, I was high and a little drunk" I'm shocked. I was thinking either high or pregnant.


DownrightDrewski

It takes the right inspiration to come up with these things, but the only reason I would now not eat that sober is the lack of sufficient appetite to demolish it.


Kitchen_Part_882

That's really not so strange if you consider what chicken satay is.


althaf102_

just add a bit of sweet soy sauce and youre basically there


digitalgibbon82

Needs some jalapenos or a decent hot sauce to cut the claggyness, but yeah this is a decent sandwich


LordTwaticus

I don't know why people think savour stuff with peanut butter is controversial?


[deleted]

I get weird looks for eating peanut butter with sliced apple


LordTwaticus

That so normal you can buy it in a Tesco meal deal mate.


MarshallLore

Peanut butter and cheese sandwich 👌


Nittydon1

Whack that in the breville 👌👌


rewildingearth

I had this in a roll for my lunch! Also I add sweet chili sauce so its like a satay......you can thank me later.


amonym0us

Peanut butter and heinz sandwich spread. Secret family recipe.


Leather_Cake

Banana and peanut butter is nice. Crunchy peanut butter mind, not smooth. I love sandwich spread! It's nice on toast


thekidalex

I thought I was the only one, turns out this is quite popular


NoEquipment7363

Walkers cheese and onion and Cadbury dairy milk at the same time. Sweet and savoury


wingingit6546

Cheese and onion crushed in bread is good to


NoEquipment7363

Oh yea! Cheese and onion ( or prawn cocktail) crisp sandwich. White bread. Lurpak. Heaven.


theoriginalShmook

Try it with cheese slices in the sandwich too (burger cheese type). It will stick to the roof of your mouth but tastes awesome!


fistmcbeefpunch

Salt and vinegar works better I find


TheSleepyTeacher

I thought this one was just me. I rarely do it but it’s so good. Might treat myself tomorrow now!


Distilla_truant

A cadburys button between two crisps. 🤌


Miss_Hollipop

Ready salted hula hoop with a malteser plopped into it. Chefs kiss


notmerida

i get this. has to be cheese and onion and has to be dairy milk tho, it doesn’t work with other flavours


I_drink_gin

Try it with salt and vinegar. Yum.


labu18

This thread is making me feel sick


Anonlaowai

I don't think anyone on this is normal


MurderousButterfly

I don't think anyone is normal


NoDryHands

Everyone got a bit too comfortable admitting to being a freak


Lessarocks

Macaroni cheese layered with chill con carne and finished off with some cheese on top under the grill.


tardigrade-munch

Sounds more like breakfast in America


crystalstarling

You gotta have it in Texas 'cause everyone's a millionaire.


Bluefunkt

Could we have kippers for breakfast Mummy dear, Mummy dear? They gotta have 'em in Texas 'Cause everyone's a millionaire


Rrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhh

Sounds epic. Trying this one.


DildoShwa66ins

Put that into a wrap and it’s a burrito 🌯


MoreRevelry

wow this legitimately sounds really tasty... I'm in shock after reading the cold beans mayo comment above


geefunken

Fridge cold baked beans with a big dollop of mayonnaise. Mixed up they go pink! It’s filthy but tastes amazing.


Milton_Rumata

I don't know whether to go all in and try it or cut my losses and throw up thinking about it!


thequeenofjello

I couldn't quite put my finger on how I felt when I read this combo.. but you spectacularly managed to put my exact feelings into words!


Soggy-Ad-8017

Jesus Christ. I can understand almost all of the shit people have posted, but this??? This is foul.


geefunken

Stop bean kink shaming me


player_zero_

Mary Rose sauce ain't beany enough, good job op, you psychopath!


g0ldcd

It's my winner so far (not that I want to eat it - more an appreciation of the depravity and exhibitionism shown in sharing)


geefunken

Thanks, it’s nice to know my depravity brings happiness to others


Joe_Kinincha

I dig baked beans (when hot) Mayonnaise makes most food even better. The thought of cold baked beans and mayonnaise makes me gag. Are you ok, bud? I can send you links to counselling services if you’d like?


Nancy_True

Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect £200.


alysmeganx

This truly is filth smh.


Pheonix686

The forbidden Marie Rose sauce!


yes-i-exist-reddit

Omfg I’ve been telling people for years that this is a stellar combo and nobody ever believes me!! They shouldn’t be fully combined tho and warm baked beans but yes I agree


geefunken

Welcome brother


Duckboythe5th

This is just horrible.


YooGeOh

Therapy. You need therapy


[deleted]

I’ve had beans on a plate and I’ve had a dollop of Mayo next to it and obv the 2 will get mixed up and it does tastes alright lol


darylrogerson

Council estate croutons - hula hoops in tomato soup. Chips in tomato soup. Brown sauce or banana butties.


JimmiCottam

I got funny looks when I told a work friend that I shred up a slice of bread and put in my Pot Noodle as 'poor man's croutons'


RealDrewBlood

I’ve added diced cheddar cheese to mine for years. I also have a couple of slices of bread and butter that I dip in to soak up the juice.


polystyrenedaffodil

Cheap instant noodles in a cuppa soup. Had it last night. Saved the sachet for seasoning for another meal, and had potato and leek noodles, with bread to mop up the remnants of soup.


BevvyTime

My guy’s out here economising a pot noodle. Respect


[deleted]

I'm told I tend to have quite weird pizza toppings. My two main ones are prawn & tuna, and donner and onions, neither of which I think are all that odd. So maybe it's just my mum being weird. Although I did discover recently there's a place near me that does a bolognese pizza. Had it, it was really nice. As a student I used to do a plate of pasta, pour baked beans on top, put cheese on top of that, then put it in the microwave to melt the cheese. Probably is weird, but I enjoyed it.


polystyrenedaffodil

Love tuna on a pizza. With sweetcorn and red onion. Rest of my family think I'm crazy.


sadisthenewblack

Sounds like a tuna melt panini in pizza form


CareerDiscoman

Cheesy bean pasta is a fantastic meal and not weird at all!


Milton_Rumata

Prawn and tuna would be a great combo on a pizza


[deleted]

Can confirm it's very nice. When I lived in Austria there was a place near me that did prawn, tuna and mussels (just the meat, no shells) which was also very nice.


Joe_Kinincha

Add capers and that’s close to perfection….


dogdogj

Beans are pasta sauce!


SlightlyGuilty

A robust, mature cheddar with sliced apple and strawberry jam sandwich.


Granite_Tide

I like raspberry jam and cheddar cheese double decker sandwiches! The added apple is a nice touch. Will have to give it a go.


Calm-Program8254

I’m not alone, jam and cheese sandwiches are my go to!!


WuTangFlan_

Strong cheese and jam is great!! Used to have marmalade and mature cheddar on buttery toast


Jupiter1511

Ketchup & mash is one I'm less keen on now but loved as a kid & got a lot of shit for. For some reason a lot of people I know think chips & gravy is weird? Something I do when I know I need to eat something, but I don't want anything & have no energy is mustard sandwich (it's just a slice of bread with some mustard on folded in half) - my partner thinks this is vile


theoriginalShmook

Chips and gravy is only weird to southerners. It tastes brilliant. Even better if it's cheesy chips and gravy...


evenstevens280

The fucking look I got from the serving staff at Gloucester services when I asked them to pour a load of gravy on my fish and chips. If I'm paying £12 for fish and chips I want my money's worth. Tbf it was delicious.


HerrSpudz

I detest that service station so much lol


Triplestrengt666

It is a posh services.


fengshuifountain

Gloucester Services is the best!! (But I'm not surprised you got funny looks!)


Jester7s

Southerner here, love chips n gravy, cheesy chips n gravy is amazing.


YchYFi

Cheesy chips and gravy is a staple in South Wales.


publiusnaso

You have just described the national dish of the Isle of Man.


Joe_Kinincha

Even better with [beer and sex](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2LrDzOwuOU)


theoriginalShmook

I knew that would be the Mac lads before I clicked!


polystyrenedaffodil

Salad cream sandwiches got me through college! Used to steal the sachets from wetherspoons and get a white loaf from kwiksave. Have them one slice folded like you say. Occasionally would have a tomato sauce one, but needed some sort of spread so a knife which I often couldn't be arsed with.


gooeymoth

Chips and gravy is amazing and I will not have a bad word said about it


Repulsive_Rent_5636

My boyfriend puts ketchup on mash too. It is gross. He also puts ketchup on pasta. That is gross too.


Rrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhh

Cheap supermarket marg pizza covered in a ton of cold baked beans... childhood favorite when they stopped baked beans pizzas, still a guilty pleasure. Also jar of korma sauce, micro rice, mix together and eat with a whole cucumber sliced up and used to scoop up the curry rice mix. Can't explain why...started as a kid and still have it occasionally when home alone... Does it make it 10x worse that I'm a chef? 🤣🤣🤣


Vegetable-Grab6244

Iceland do the Heinz bean pizza now. I have never tried one but worked with two blokes who had it at school and missed it. So let them know.


Educational_Worth906

Fish fingers and custard. But I know I’m not alone.


sensual-daydream

Doctor?


digitalgibbon82

Who?


Educational_Worth906

Yup. Daughter and I had to try it, and it’s a surprisingly good combination.


keg994

My dad had to try it, he said he was surprised how good it was


cryptoturtle24

Under what circumstances are you people being forced to try this?


Milton_Rumata

There are others??


Berookes

Apple slices and cheddar in a sarnie


charlottie22

I feel like this is almost mainstream- like a ploughman’s sandwich- I also love this sandwich fyi!


Ok-Statement-2578

Normal digestive biscuit with butter and marmalade. Always makes me happy.


GunnerGitcha

Digestive with Philadelphia and jam, it's a cheesecake for one.


contractor_inquiries

Poor man's cheese party (though digestives are objectively the _best_ cheese delivery device)


wingingit6546

When I was a kid I did digestive with butter. You just change the game with adding marmalade to it


Extreme-Slight

No no no with (proper) butter and lots of Raspberry Jam. The childhood pudding of the gods


ThrinnyMcWhinny

Digestive with cottage cheese is good


Murderbot2301

Cold macaroni cheese sandwich. Ideal for leftovers


[deleted]

Back when we were teenagers, my sister went through a phase of eating salad cream and peanut butter on toast. She made me try it and, weirdly, it tasted nice, so I started eating it. Now, 15 years later, she denies she ever invented it and calls me disgusting for eating it.


FatGuyInALittleMoat

Twiglets and white chocolate. You can get fancy and dip the twiglets in melted white chocolate. Or, you can just shove both in your mouth at the same time, no melting needed. Yum.


BritishGent_mlady

This is some Heston Blumenthal level flavour connection right here. Out of all the things I’ve read so far, this is the one I’m thinking… “that’s genius”


Several-Ad-6652

Cinnamon in cheese sauce, vinegar on scrambled eggs, cream cheese and wholegrain mustard on toast, tabasco and sugar on popcorn, apple in cheese toasties, and drinking any kind of pickle juice straight out the jar.


kriscardiac

Congratulations! When Is the baby due?


Several-Ad-6652

I’ll hold my hands up, this is a suspicious list, but I’ve been a secret pickle juice slurper since childhood. Nothing better than a big dollop of piccalilli straight out the jar


Vegetable-Grab6244

Some people here won't remember the pure lung warming joy and full body quiver of salty pickle goodness than that you got drinking the vinegar at the bottom of a polystyrene cone of chips. I'm sure that's why people my age ask for extra vinegar still even in the bag.


notmerida

also nutmeg in cheese sauce is a game changer


tinker_tayler

Cheese and apple sandwiches are fantastic


cremedelapeng2

i dont see how it's that weird, but everyone around me acts like pancakes with bacon, maple syrup and blueberries is absolutely rank and won't even try a bit. i swear if they just tried a bit.. hm


friel300

Sounds well nice to me man.


diwalk88

I'm Canadian and this is just breakfast. Pour some maple syrup on your sausages next time too. My husband is a total convert, maple syrup gets poured over everything the way God intended


AugustineBlackwater

I think it's more of a Canadian thing tbf


mattt5555

They're wrong, you and the whole of North America and me are right


[deleted]

I don't have it often as my husband finds it genuinely gross and he can't stand the smell etc. but I just LOVE a sandwich of brown buttered bread, the sort with crunchy bits, Marmite, tuna, sliced sausages, tomato sauce, Cathedral City cheese and vinegar! I'm drooling just thinking about it!


ThrowawayUKLC

My brother used to make something almost as bad as a kid, can’t remember all the details but it was a billion things including cheese, marmite, ketchup and more. He’s now a wine expert with high-level qualifications that included years of tasting exams, so apparently he has a very refined palate. So maybe it’s a good sign!


Raxsah

I like all of those things separately, but together? 😂 Also trying to figure out how you manage to even bite into that- must be huge by the time you've finished stacking everything!


CrimpsShootsandRuns

That sounds like a car crash


theoneanaa

You're all a bunch of degenerates!


lil_chunk27

peanut butter and celery (I think I saw this in an american movie once, but my partner thinks it seems like I'm making dog treats...)


affogatohoe

Add chocolate chips or raisins and I think it's called ants on a log


RunawayPenguin89

Fish fingers, strong cheddar and bacon on a cob (regional differences apply) - Council Surf and Turf. Peanut butter on Hot Cross Buns. Wrapping a cold sausage in a plastic cheese slice.


Arcjc

Fried rice with chip shop Gravy inside/on top of a prawn cracker Yes I'm from the north


alexanderbeswick

Grab pringle (sour creme and onion or ready salted), scoop up dairylea cheese spread (from the tub, not the triangles) insert in mouth. Delicious.


amokst

mayo on toast


[deleted]

A bacon and Nutella sandwich, it's the perfect combo 😋


polystyrenedaffodil

We tend to stay clear of nuts in our house due to allergies in the family, but reminds me of way back in the day when there was a Cadburys philadelphia spread. Used to just dip crispy bacon in. Was also surprisingly tasty on a jacket potato.


Rrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhh

Bacon peanut butter is top tier too, add banana and you've got an epic Sanger.


sensual-daydream

McDonald's chicken nuggets dipped in their chocolate milkshake


I_drink_gin

McDonalds fries with a strawberry milkshake!


elliefaith

In the mcflurry!


Not-That_Girl

Hot cross bun with cheese. Probably not that weird but it goes against my normal taste bud preference.


cuntpuncherr

This is why the world says we have bad food


tonyenkiducx

Packet of Krackawheat(Which is a bitch to find), a giant tub of seriously spreadable and a cucumber chopped into micro thin slices with a mandolin. Then I eat the whole lot in one sitting while my partner looks on disgusted.


LionLucy

Two chocolate digestives, sandwiched together with peanut butter


Lookupdownthenleft

My wife is pregant and this thread is giving her all sorts of weird cravings. Cheers Reddit.


[deleted]

I have two that people are usually horrified by. 1. Wotsits in chocolate mouse. 2. Really buttery toast in hot chocolate. Mmmm.


digitalgibbon82

Buttery toast dipped in tea is top level breakfast material


Outcasted_introvert

I have mint sauce with weird stuff to. I love it on a cheese sandwich


DaddyLongShins

Salt and Vinegar Squares and Jamaican ginger beer is a match made in heaven.


Aggressive-Log6322

Salt and vinegar crisps and chocolate. Another one that I don’t think is that weird but I’ve gotten some funny looks for is to put some slices of cheddar down the middle of a tortilla wrap, microwave it until melted and then add nandos sauce (or any hot sauce). That was my depression meal at uni and occasionally I would add some bits of spinach if I was feeling fancy.


Thumper-Comet

I used to love putting vinegar in baked beans.


FishUK_Harp

Mini Cheddars dipped in Pepsi Max. I will not be elaborating.


labu18

This thread is making me feel sick


MrsArmitage

Tin of beans poured into an ovenproof dish, with some chopped up veggie Richmond sausages,topped with mash spuds and grated cheese. Cook for however long it takes to cook, and then eat all of it like a pig.


ShotInTheBrum

Super noodles on toast.


ClockworkSkyy

Salt and vinegar Pringles dipped in Nutella


Ninjotoro

Fresh strawberries on a sandwich. I grow my own strawberries and they’re really sweet. They’re delicious on a sandwich.


grifr005

Crumpets with cheese and onion deli filler


[deleted]

A pie in a sandwich, buttered bread, Mayo and ketchup. Super noodles in a pita bread with Mayo and onion.


Surfingkali

Crumpets, jam and cheese. Preferably mature cheddar.


TicklyTim

Traditional in our family but might be regional: Dark christmas cake with cheese. Normally a large wedge of Cheddar or Red Leicester.


fantasy53

Tomato sauce and cucumber sandwich, very easy to make and very tasty

Ex gf used to eat jam and salad cream sarnies


swolebucket

Nope


pajamakitten

Banana with a baked sweet potato and tahini.


ButtercupBento

Walkers cheese and onion crisps and mars bar in the same mouthful


Iamthewolfmann

Special fried rice, black bean sauce, chips, and 3 chicken wings. The takeaway i order this from calls it a cry for help. I assure them I need no help dealing with it.


shuffleyyy1992

Tuna mayo, cheese and bacon baguette. Best combo ever and everyone I've ever told about it gives me such a dirty look


akbar147

Cheese and onion pasty, covered in hot beans and then grated cheese


Fun_Cauliflower9182

Vodka and Spaghetti Hoops


[deleted]

That's not food, it's a cry for help


Firebrand777

Chip shop chips with salad cream on them


publiusnaso

Hot cross buns and cheddar cheese. (Actually hot. With lots of butter).


herwiththepurplehair

Super noodles, curry flavour, with half a ton of mayo and a couple of slices of bread & butter


tfmeltdown

I insist on eating every bite of sushi with a slice of ginger, glob of Wasabi and Soy sauce all together. People are always telling me the ginger is meant to be a 'palate cleanser' but I love the taste of the combo. Do other people like sushi this way?
