A Taste For The Unusual?
 
Warburtons the bakers recently held a survey on bizarre snacks that people eat and in particular, new combinations of food.
This is their results:

10) Coca-cola with Red wine
09) Chocolate with Salted crisps
08) Honey and Cheese sandwiches
07) Banana IN Chicken soup
06) Peanut butter and Bacon sandwich
05) Gherkins and Ice cream
04) Coca-cola with Milk
03) Chicken casserole with Chocolate sauce
02) Mars bar sandwich
And the winner - - Spaghetti Bolognese on a bed of Crisp!!

I used to love Sugar sandwiches as a child, are there any more peculiar tastes out there?

Number 6 sounds interesting! I might try that. :D I'm sure I know somebody who does spag bol with crisps on top. How's about the chicken casserole for tea tomorrow?

A better treat is Pea-nut butter, bacon, sliced raw onion, under the grill with a layer of cheese, yummy.

Oh, and I also love soup with Crisps, hey, don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

Less - I also remember watching you make an oxo cube butty when I was little. I then decided that the oxo cube must be really tasty & sneaked into the kitchen cupboard and bit into one - urghhhhhh! I can still remember the taste now, it took a few glasses of water to get rid of it!

I too have enjoyed no 10. Unlike short stuff I love Oxo cubes. Raw jelly, Goblin meat pud butties. Turkey egg and cottage cheese is a lovely sandwich filler. I enjoy chilli with doritos instead of rice.

My hubby likes cheese scones with raspberry jam on them.
And all the nurses used to laugh at me in our coffee lounge when I used to make crisp and Banana butties......I too, preferred salt and vinegar crisps.....but would also have plain ones is there were no salt and vinegar crisps.
An Australian favourite sarnie is bread and butter with hundreds and thousands on.....although they call it a 'sprinkle' sandwich!

My girlfriend's late Father used to have strawberry jam on chip butties, theres no accounting for taste, never fancied it myself.

As a kid in West End my favourite snack was a toasted crust from the end of a loaf spread with strawberry jam, a cheese slice and sliced banana on top. As a very small child I used to like celery dipped in sugar!

I now enjoy strong cheddar cheese and lumpfish caviar (only £2 a jar - not the expensive caviar) sandwiches and I eat Vegemite by the spoonful straight from the jar - can't stand it on bread!

Chocolate and crisps together work out surprisingly well.

When I'm making a proper chilli, I always add a few chunks of a good dark chocolate - makes it very rich.

SOUP (shop on warner st) do a splendid cheese and red onion marmalade sandwich. The sweetness of the marmalade works really well with a strong cheddar - definitely recommended.

Also, pea and ham soup with chips thrown in work for me.

As for crisp butties - I prefer them made with Walkers Sensations Roast Chicken flavour crisps personally!

Well, Gayle gal ... you will have to forego these 'delectable' treats if you wish to lose that other stone :D

A tin of fruit coctail blitzed into a poor mans smoothie.

Yes, fresh air and water are pretty good options for a diet, ha ha. I will be with you all the way and hoping to lose quite a few pounds myself!!!

I was in ASDA once and this guy in the Q behind me had a trolly full of 'Good for you' this and that ready meals all shouting 'Less than 4%fat' from their boxes. As I turned round I noticed something the shelf and turned to Julie and said quite loudly ' Have you seen that, Turkish Delight is being promoted at 98% fat free. Thats because its 98% SUGAR!!!'

The guy behind went a shade of red :)

So Gayle, Ignore teh 'Fat Free' fad, look at the overall healthiness of your food. Take into account calorific value, Fibre and make an informed decision from there.

I personally like jerky(Dried meat) as it is very flavoursome, low in fat and carbs and keeps forever.

I love dunking bacon butties, with mushrooms and brown sauce, into coffee. It's a bit like dunking a biscuit, but with soggier results if you get the timing wrong.

I don't have sugar in my coffee. That would be disgusting.:p

lettie 29-12-2005 16:04

Re: A Taste For The Unusual?
 
The bacon and peanut butter sarnie sounds good...:D

My all time favourite disgusting sandwich consists of fish fingers mashed with vinegar, peanut butter and brown sauce slapped between 2 slices of Warbies. They're delicious...:D

OMG Rindy, I always said I was adopted! you must be my brother!! I love toast and Jam (or marmalade) dipped in my hot cup of tea! Neil says I'm a freak!

I know someone who eats kippers with marmalade.

Oxo butties are great - I love them, but haven't had one for ages. Must buy a packet of Oxo cubes. Also good is a sandwich made with strong Lancashire cheese and a crumbled Oxo cube.

Chocolate in chilli works very well, good with a rich beef or venison stew as well, just one square of really good dark chocolate. Gayle, why torment yourself! - convince yourself that you LOVE cottage cheese!

Re: A Taste For The Unusual?
 
chocolate and salted crisps are the best on there. There absolutley delicious, you have to eat the crisps first though! then the chocolate and the taste that it leaves in your mouth after is so nice!!! i eat jam on my weetabix? thats a nice combination too!
