It’s like a s’mores for the morbidly obese

I think Houns has got this wrapped, but I'll toss Snyder's Pretzel Pieces, pref. Honey and Mustard, complete bag thereof, into the mix.

There's a Greggs Outlet a mile or so from me in Walker. I've never been, but now I'm unemployed, maybe I'll go tomorrow morning.

Lambing usually lasts about 4-5 weeks.

Jesus. That poor sheep must be knackered.

Wait, wait. STOP.

What the **** is a Greggs outlet?!

As it was formerly Greggs of Gosforth, there's more in the NE.

There's a few around the country in other towns/cities

Here's a list

And while we’re on the subject of addictive snacks from M&S, you could inhale a packet or 3 of these just as easily

@binners those rollitos are suspiciously similar to the ones you also get in Tesco.

@squirrelking - I'd imagine they're all equally as addictive

Corned beef, mature cheddar and red onions all drowned in Worcester sauce sweet chilli sauce is the king of toasties

Been my WFH treat – whoever suggested corned beef on the toastie thread deserves a share of TiRed’s OBE for services to the pandemic.

popped a calf muscle last night and feeling sorry for myself and as you do when you cant exercise for a few weeks, eat shit! i went for it too, just now.

cba chopping onions, and swapped Worcester for Lancashire. but still an absolute dream!

sweet chilli sauce is satans arse sweat.

Delicious (Linghams). Corned beef (delicious) OTOH is satan’s actual excrement, and for any number of reasons.

corned beef has staged a resurgence among millennials and younger shoppers.Sales of the canned meat staple grew £9.8m to £83.3m over the past year

always used to get corned beef crispbakes from M&S as a treat. awesome meal with chips and beans..

Noticed that the mrs has picked up an Adli version when rummaging through the fridge today. so had one of them n'all, on a buttered muffin (bread roll/barm cake for the weirdos) and brown sauce. incredible!

Where are the biscuits and cake?

Oh! I’m now missing a Ginsters pasty and pork pies! used to love a pork pie with some pickle or a Ginsters pasty with mayo. I guess importing to Portugal is going to be a non starter……

@moe - quick google shows Portugal to be very similar to Spain, where there's a big British presence (for example in the Algarve) there are also British supermarkets - not the kind of place you'd necessarily want to use for a weekly shop but when you get that Marmite craving... heading further north there's this place:

https://www.glood.pt/produto/17546/stobarts-pork-pie-large-4-pack-300g
https://www.glood.pt/produto/17551/pukka-pies-jumbo-sausage-roll-pie-164g

(Never used them, but have used similar in Spain - pricey but sometimes you just have to!)

I found that Dynamite underwhelming, and reverted back to normal marmite on my toast with peanut butter.

Greggs vegan sosig rolls are better than the ones filled with pig bits - and I'm a meat eater

And I'd say the BP/Wild Bean Cafe ones are even better as have sweet chilli sauce baked in

Where are the biscuits and cake?

But they aren't "junkfood" surely?

Mogrim, cheers, we're right up in North West, near Paredes de Coura (half hour from Spanish border) so ex Pat's aren't that common.
Kryton, agreed on the dynamite (overstated) although I have a vintage one open at the moment and I'm liking that!
We stocked up on Marmite when we came over and daughter brought more back after a visit back to UK last month. 😊

@mogrim, small world innit, that link has a shop in Porto, we go occasionally (airport usually) but the shop is near our daughters friends just off Boavista! 😁

Aldi also do a Mac'n'cheese one, if corned beef is too healthy for you. They're good.

I'm on day one of a renewed effort to get trim (5:2 diet) so I could easily kill the lot of you.

But I will add in a breakfast stick from the local roadside vendor to that list.

@Houns

See my picture on the last page for sweet sweet filthiness

I can't un-see it, but feel that I must try it! I'm already overweight, @TJ I do not thank you for this thread!

Recently I tried a Brookie from a local bakery, essentially a brownie wrapped in cookie dough, I have a REALLY sweet tooth, but I have to confess to wanting to puke after that little concoction!

There's also a local streetfood van who have thankfully stopped their battered brownie, that was a thing of utter filth and loveliness!

I present to you the buttered brioche toasted Tunnocks teacake snackwich

Just in the interest of furthering one's knowledge...how, um, how would one, y'know, make one... Just so I can say that I know, y'know?

Banana soreen, lathered in Nutella.
Toasted in a pannini maker.
If no Nutella is available then honey and butter makes a great alternative.

Or for the full fat experience try home made peanut butter millionaire shortbread. Add 50% smooth peanut butter to the butter in the base.
Tin of carnation caramel, some high cocoa solids chocolate, pinch of salt and grated caramelise ginger on top

@Moe similar here, we've got a place on the coast near lots of ex-pat colonies, so no shortage of places to stock up on things like Marmite, orange squash etc., and get my pork pie fix.

Wonder if they sell Tunnocks teacakes? Hmmm...

Dear lord, this thread is the gift that keeps on giving*. Another one added to the list.

I've been slow cooking a sausage and bacon casserole, which on reading this, now seems like a salad

*coronary heart disease being that specific gift

It’s all relative. Having tried both I’d much prefer a box* of Linda Macs (frozen) ones baked fresh from my oven. Easily are the best veggie/vegan ones I’ve tried.

Although Cornish Bakehouse do a massive, filthy, fat-laced veggie one that will still make you feel as if you hate your body. Tastes good too IIRC.

Edit yes IRC

*size does matter

Not tried them, but her mozzarella burgers are lush

@nickc it’s nice and simple, warm up your griddle, generously butter both sides of two slices of brioche, griddle/toast one side (whilst eating a tunnocks), flip over and lightly do the other side, add as many tunnocks as you can, rest other slice on top, smush down and keep on the heat until molten.

I do need to play around with cooking times/sequence so I can get the mallow caramelised

I refer you to the thread title.

An organic spicy pickled egg (The Smithfield, Northern Quarter) or if your veins need filling, a 'Manchester Egg' wrapped in a mix of Bury black pudding and sage & onion sausage meat, with lightly seasoned breadcrumbs.

I do love a Manchester egg!

For the scummy, low-rent version, crush up a packet of Seabrook salt n vinegar crisps to dust, open the packet, drop the pickled egg in and give it all a good shake. Remove pickled egg, now coated in salt and vinegar crisp dust and chomp away 😃
