I do them with ketchup, and microwave them.

Monster Munch and buttered Mother's Pride, lightly heated so that the butter begins to melt...

Caramelised almonds and black grapes, one of each in the mouth at a time. The only reason this doesn't include a piece of chocolate is fear of being unable to stop.

It's the perfect sweet and savoury combo.

When I was a kid i used to eat strawberry jam sarnies with pickled onions on the side. I tell myself now that it was a sweet and sour thing.

Or "breakfast", as it's known in das vaterland.

Sardine soup

Everyone is talking about slightly odd or rotten foods. But are there any off habits, possibly left over from childhood? Mine is the mashing casseroles up with mash potato. See also Cottage / Shepherds pies.

Although I did watch in horror recently as my 5 year old stirred ice cream up in to a liquid mess. Yet my sister and I used to do exactly that with that 3 flavor ice cream you used to get.

[BrandNewGuy]

Sardines straight out of the tin.

My mum used to take me for a haircut at about aged 5, then the cafe afterwards. I'd get a coca-cola and add a whole lot of sugar to it, and watch it fizz. I'd also eat the sugar from the bowl, which was hid in the grill section of the oven. Oh how I loved that blue glass and silverware bowl

But I do neither of these things now, my teeth ache at the thought. That said, I still have vinegar on my cabbage if it's with Liver & Bacon, and brown sauce can feature. But I also do those beyond the confines of my front door.

Crisps (Ready salted) & baked beans - scoop up the beans with the crisps

[titch juicy]

The brown sauce thing has just reminded me of one.

I always have HP sauce with Fish Pie. In fact, most white fish with a white (ish) sauce.

It goes remarkably well.

Also, always have mint sauce with Shepherd's Pie (but I rarely use real shepherd's these days), but I guess that's less controversial/disgusting as Lamb is involved.

[binkylilyput]

I'll have a good few spoons of practically anything straight out of the tin before warming it- beans, soup, spaghetti (all Heinz), tinned fish........oh and marrowfat peas, mmmmm!!

This goes on while waiting for toast. And I really can't think of anything that doesn't go with toast.

[jacks09]

I'll add vinegar to most things. Steaming hot chicken pie with vinegar on the pastry cuts through the creamy sauce nicely.

Branston Pickle with a fry up.......

[lavender27]

Having leftover curry or leftover pizza from the night before, for breakfast, cold.

[cella]

At Christmas as kids we used to suck the vinegar off big pickled onions from the jar and then continue to dunk.......I know...

[Robert Poste's Child]

The best bit of a pork pie: the jelly. If no one's looking it may have to be eaten as a separate mouthful.

[KidKruger]

Bogies.

There. I said it.

I've just answered my own question. It's the ketchup innit :))

That trumps everything. Good call.

I'm a bit dubious about 'lightly heated' RD. Sounds like a hell of a lot of effort to me :))

Key question is which flavour MM?

This reminds me of a food festival stall at Burghley House in Lincs, a local butcher specialised in black pudding & strawberry jam sausages which apparently won a great taste award!

Exactly, though you can also lay the hoops flat side down as that ups the crunch factor to an almost masochistic level.

raw egg yolk beaten with sugar. childhood delight.

Was that at the horse trials? I go most years and spend more time in the food village than watching the horses go round, I'm slightly ashamed to say.

Apparently some people eat suasages with marmalade. Never tried it but sounds viable.
