Confessions of a trash eater

[SubZeroCat]

Any moment now. The due date is October 6, but the baby has reached full term, so it's ready. I'm sick of waiting – I might explode with junk food overload if this carries on too long

You might give birth to a giant Frankfurter as a well as a baby

 

[trabuquera]

not generally a big eater of trash (haven't been to a fast food outlet for 20+ years) and usually prefer to cook proper things, but I'll always make an exception for:

prawn crackers
tortilla chips
McCains Southern Fries (it's the taste of rendered beef fibre that does it)
Boasters biscuits (despite the fact they INVARIABLY give me a crop of disgusting spots).

baklava's not a trash food is it? more like an elegant, classy way of eating everything that is bad for you in one sticky package. Anyway I can eat almost unlimited quantities of it.

That's quite a pleasing image

In fact, I can reveal precisely what will happen:

Will you stop freaking me out?!

 

[*Miss*Sparkle*]

jaffa cakes *slobber*

Oh and I like those veggie frankfurters too.

 

[SubZeroCat]

Will you stop freaking me out?!

Nope, never

(Now imagine how Pika feels....)

muhahahaha

 

[girasol]

Stock cubes!!

gravy granules are the new stock cubes (in my little world)!

McCains Southern Fries

oh I remember them - yes, me too for them. Any sort of chips with a crispy coating on them

The only junk I buy regularly is Jose Olé chicken and cheese tostaditos. Not only is Jose Olé a ludicrously comedy mexican name, but I've never heard any reference to tostaditos in Mexican cuisine. They're rolled corn tortillas filled with chicken and cheese processed mush, then deep fried and frozen.

What really makes them junk is that I cook them in the microwave for 2 minutes (if you leave them for a minute afterwards they sort of go crispy again ), then eat them dipped in vast amounts of jalapeno ranch from a jar.

Yum.

 

[Pieface]

I'm not sure if I'm trying to eat myself into going into labour or if I'm trying to control my cravings for a cigarette by eating frankfurters(

I think you should smoke the frankfurter, pretendy fag style and kill two birds with one stone

Another dip animal here - you know that onion and garlic dip you can get? Makes you taste garlic in your mouth to the detriment of all other flavours for 48hrs after a binge.

I love that, me. It rarely comes home - the stench is godforsaken.

 

[Jenerys]

Spaghetti, with green pesto, patak chili pickle covered in grated mature cheddar

I tried – my sausage fell in half.

Abstinence sucks

 

[lyra_k]

can we do trashy drinks too? Although I do make proper coffee, I absolutely love instant coffee in hot milk, with a splash of hazelnut syrup.

I've got an espresso machine and making a proper latte is at my fingertips, but I actually prefer the instant coffee in hot milk of a morning.

 

[Skim]

Trashy drinks are good. I think my favourite is a milkshake made with two chocolate bars and a scoop of ice cream. Just as well I haven't got a blender at the moment, or else I'd be on the shakes as well.

I've been having a complete bender on lemonade this past summer – you should have seen the amount of the stuff that Sainsbury's kept delivering in bulk. Just loads of bland, 30p-a-bottle bog-standard lemonade. I like mixing it up with elderflower cordial, which isn't that trashy. But the lemonade on its own is – it's truly crap.

I am weaning myself off lemonade now before my teeth really start to suffer.

 

[Mogden]

Cheese strings
Pot Noodles
Bernard Matthew's mini kievs
Pasta 'n' sauce
All manner of crappy, extremely high in E numbers and sugary weirdness sweets - bar Haribos. They send me a bit loopy.
Ditto with fizzy drinks.
Any new kind of junk gets me.

We're off to Tesco tomorrow and I know I'll come back with some new strangeness to sample. I'm a foodie, really I am and most of the time I eat good things. I love to cook and ain't bad at it but there's something in me that's wants to try things no matter how vile the ingredients. I'm still pondering if this is a good or bad thing.

Genius!

 

[Structaural]

Smoked Cheese, Bratwursts (cooked on the skillet), Walkers plain salted crisps, Toblerones

 

[wtfftw]

I'm honestly still utterly gutted that radioactive cheese and jalapeno dip has been discontinued. I swear there used to be two makes of it and now there is none.

 

[Cloo]

Skim - the one thing I look forward to if and when I become pregnant - acquiring a licence to eat how much and however the fuck I want, free from any criticism, oh yes

I'm not looking forward to eating in pregnancy when it's my turn, as lots of nice stuff like unpasteurised cheese (bacterial reasons, IIRC), tinned tuna (risk of mercury), so on, so forth, will be off the menu. :-/

 

[Skim]

Genius!

I should add that I do put some milk in as well. But really, it's just a liquid chocolate bar. I first got turned on to them when I went to the Big Chill and had a Tunnocks Caramel Wafer drink. God, did I enjoy that

Yeah, it sucks. You're all right with the tinned tuna though, as long as it's not more than two cans a week.

It's the runny scrambled eggs I've missed. And every time I'm in a supermarket, I find myself wistfully caressing duck pate in the chiller section.

heh, I used to do that. I used to fondle the brie lovingly as well. Then someone told me that pregnant French ladies are allowed to eat all that stuff, and I was totally conflicted for the rest of my pregnancy.

My junk snack of choice would probably be Tayto onion rings - stinky food of the gods.

I think they're quite laidback about wine consumption in pregnancy as well. Gotta love the French

And I bet Japanese women continue eating sushi...

 

[suitgirl]

i am a secret lover of anything from Abrakebabra (infamous Irish kebab chain) - oh god what wouldnt I do for some of their taco fries right now?

 

[Skim]

Tell you what I'd love for tea tonight – chips with curry sauce. I don't know where I could get them around here though.

It's trash-eating day and no mistake

 

[cyberfairy]

I'm a rubbish eater-I buy aspiration high falutin' taste the difference stuff which i also like but when it comes down to it, instant noodles, oven chips with bisto, wotsits, space raiders, greggs cheese and onion pasties, dairlylea, lemonade, squash, potato waffles with spaghetti hoops I am still four years old at a birthday party

 

[Shirl]

I've just eaten a can of Harry Ramsden's mushy peas, cold, straight from the can,
I'll have to open another one now to go with my fish fingers.

 

[Skim]

That's it – fish fingers. I haven't got the energy to walk to the chippy at Herne Hill, so I'm going to check out the corner shop, find some fish fingers and have those with the oven chips in the freezer

 

[Numbers]

I'm sitting here at home munching my way through a particularly trashy lunch of Herta frankfurters, mustard and sauerkraut out of the jar. The sauerkraut is a nod to the notion of having vegetables, but really it's all about the franks.

I've got a thing for plasticky hotdogs. I don't care how manufactured they are, how rubbery – I love 'em. I don't want to know much about their provenance, in all honesty, but they are one of those trash foods I cannot get enough of.

I feel the same way about crap ice cream. As much as I love Haagen-Dazs and other quality ice cream, I'll happily scoff inferior ices with the same gusto – witness my secret addiction the McFlurry, the only reason I'll eat in McDonald's.

What's your favourite trash?

and you have the cheek to say my culinary delights are suspect.

I'm never rubbing your belly again...

<goes off to make new sandwich>

 

[Looby]

I've had a horrible chest infection all week and have really lost my appetite (hopefully have lost a few pounds ) but today I was famished and wanted junk so I had a burger king meal and a vanilla milkshake. I felt so sick afterwards.

<goes off to make new sandwich>

Ach... I've been rumbled

But I know where I am with a hotdog. It's your maverick sandwich combinations that confuse me. Still, I'm being such a pig right now that I'd eat just about anything put in front of me – even one of your sarnies.
