Suger and butter on Yorkshire puddings is how I'd always have them as a kid. My dad didn't like them with dinner, so he had them that way. So, wanting to be like my dad and also the fact it was called pudding, I'd only ever have them as pudding 

 

What an idiot!

 

Having said that, much like pancakes, they are a neutral base, so taste good sweet or savoury. So the reverse situation to Yorkie Pud does my head in, when people will only eat pancakes sweet (yet will probably happily eat fajitas  morons!)

I used to have left of Yorkie Puds cold with some jam in the middle with a cup of tea. As you say they're just pancake mix really so work savoury or sweet.

So a poor man's Poutine basically.

I am classed as weird by my mates because I love salad cream with stuff. 

 

Fish and chips with mushy peas has to be covered in salad cream. I never have any other sauce with that meal. 

 

Walkers cheese & onion crisps sandwich, with salad cream drizzled all over it. 

Ham and salad cream sarnies. Cheese and tomato sarnie with salad cream. 

 

I like making sarnies/butties out of my main meals too. Stew, curry, fish & chips, chicken nuggets, burgers, etc. 

 

 

Another massive weird one is steak. I like my steak medium rare, with homemade chips, onion rings, mushrooms and peas. Nowt wrong with all that I hear you say, but (weirdly to some) I love it with gravy all over it. And here's the kicker, once the gravy is on I break up and sprinkle an Oxo cube all over it. That sort of melts into the gravy and makes the chips and everything else taste amazing with a huge beefy kick. Taste sensation.

I don't know what a Poutine is. How poor does that make me? 

 

Chip, cheese and gravy used to be a staple up here though. To the extent that schools had to ban it.

I don't think it's that weird and I found out by mistake whilst eating my pack up when I was a wee lad at school, eating a bar of chocolate whilst also eating ready salted/plain crisps. Taste sensation.

And now there's salted chocolate/caramel products galore.

For me, warm buttered spinach heaped on buttered chunky white bread, seasoned with salt n pepper and Marmite.

 

When I was a kid my dad found it was the only way he could get me to eat spinach which he thought, rightly as it turns out, was a superfood.

 

It's still something I indulge in every so often.

 

I also like Escargot, (edible snails) and Frogs legs. This came about when I was "entertaining" at the old Carousel fun pub years ago and they formed part of a "revolting food" eating contest. I tried them before getting the punters up to scoff them as quickly as possible. The only difference was that mine were just as they came, the contestant's versions were covered with custard.

 

Oddly, as far as I remember, only one person ever threw up.

 

And to think the prize was a free pint.

I miss going to the pub on a Saturday night with my old man, and later in the night the seafood guy would walk in with his big hamper strapped over his shoulders, and I'd have a little pot of prawns with some vinegar.

That's the Aldi version.

Toast & marmalade dipped in coffee - slightly en francais but my breakfast

Chocolate milkshake (Yazoo or Nesqik) and a bag of mini cheddars

Cheese and apple

Stilton and beef in a sarnie, 60 seconds in the microwave is always better

Milk and coke

 

Failures

Jelly tot sandwich - just vile

Someone once told me mince pie, take the lid off, lump of stilton, lid back on, warm in microwave.  NO!  Just NO!  Love a mince pie, love stilton but dont do it.
