The best worst scran thread

[matty_f]

What's your favourite food that in no way, shape, or form, could be described as gourmet - pot noodles, tinned meatballs, pie on a roll etc...

What's yours?

Chicken Super Noodles on buttered toast, bacon crisps on a buttered roll (or sandwich), and hot dogs are mine.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Nong Shim shin pots.

Got to agree with a crisp roll too, well fired roll, a liberal amount of butter and Golden Wonder Salt & Vinegar crisps.

[oneone73]

Spam fritters.

[Northernhibee]

Spam fritters.


Funnily enough, I was going for Spam. Sliced, tossed in cornflour and cajun spices and fried off to crispy in a pan. Served in a sub style sandwich roll with slaw, sriracha and egg. Amazing.

[Northernhibee]

Rustlers BBQ rib when you're hung over.

[HibbyAndy]

Curry pot noodle with 2 bits of bread

[nonshinyfinish]

Baked beans straight out the tin.

Sure, they'd be nicer warmed up, but the inherent laziness adds a je ne sais quoi.

[Jim Herriot]

Heinz cream of tomato soup, cold, from the tin, with a good dash of Worcester sauce.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Pickled onion Space Raiders, could eat them til my gums bleed. High in salt and fat but taste like heaven.

Also

Burnt morning roll with a slab of butter on it.

Now put these two things together and you have the best worst scan ever!!

[LaMotta]

Melted cheese on crumpets.

Bovril spread on toast.

[Northernhibee]

Party Rings.

[nonshinyfinish]

Party Rings.

The colours are disappointingly washed out these days, presumably because they no longer contain industrial-grade E numbers, but they're still delicious.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Cheese and Salad cream on a piece.

Chicken Super noodles with a packet of crushed prawn cocktail crips and grated cheese mixed in.

Cheese and strawberry jam sandwiches

Samyang extra hot noodles on a toasted roll.

All disgustingly brilliant.

Samyang hot and 2x hot noodles are tremendous, but I do wish they had a 3x or 4x version. I could stand hotter (without trying to look all manly about it).

[Bridge hibs]

Pickled eggs, once I open the jar I have to eat them all, for telly night a jar of pickled eggs and a big bag of twiglets

[matty_f]

I could eat a packet of Tuc crackers and a wedge of brie in one sitting, no bother. Doesn't even need to be expensive brie.

[matty_f]

In fact, Primula cheese spread in the tubes is ace.

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

A full packet of corned beef. On its own.

A sugar piece.

A tomato sauce piece.

Pot noodles on pizza.

Deep fried mars bar.

Those little German meatball/chicken ball packs that you get for £1 in some supermarkets. Can eat them hot or cold, I could probably eat about 4 packs in a sitting. Also pretty good to stick in a stir fry or just a pack of noodles.

[Bridge hibs]

Cant beat a good old packet of Custard Creams, Fig Rolls are quite moreish too

[Northernhibee]

Vienetta.

[Just Alf]

Millionaire shortbread smothered in very runny custard.

[Onceinawhile]

Chipolatas.

[O'Rourke3]

Not sure these are the worst but personal favourites are :Pot/super noodle on a pie. Branston pickle roll. Primula cheese and chive spread on just about anything.

[Scouse Hibee]

On a similar note, Johnny's Pickled Onion Rings, 25p bags of deliciousness!

The large bags of these for £1 from the store are addictive.

[Pretty Boy]

On the subject of ring shaped crisps.

Spicy Rings. Proper amount of flavouring on them, makes your face screw up for the first couple of mouthfuls.

[matty_f]

Pot Noodle on a pie could be a contender for best one so far - what kind of pie are we talking here?

[Craig_HFC]

I put chicken super noodles in a toastie with some cheese yesterday, would recommend.

I usually put them in a wrap with cheese & reggae reggae sauce, roll it up and seal it in a frying pan which is much better but we had run out of the sauce & wraps so had to improvise.

[Scouse Hibee]

Not the worst but I love a steak and haggis pie, Chippy sauce on top then add the beans and loads of dried Italian cheese on top of the beans. I always have two at a time.

[Mon Dieu4]

Two bits of pitta bread used like slices of normal bread, ham and cheese in the middle then microwave it for about 20 seconds to soften the pitta bread and slightly melt the cheese

Or

Cheese, ham and tomato sauce in a wrap folded into a square and also microwaved for about 20 seconds

You can all thank me later

[Just Alf]

Toast one side of a few slices of bread

Turn over and spread out tomato sauce

Add some branston pickle or similar (I use the stuff in a squeezey bottle

Sprinkle some cheese over it

Add some cropped ham , chorizo, pepperoni or whatever you have in the fridge*

Add some more cheese

Fire in the oven for a bit

= pauper pizza

'Tiz brilliant :greengrin


*scotmid do pizza pepperoni for a quid that's perfect for it!

[Pedantic_Hibee]

BBQ hula hoops with a packet of M&Ms poured into the packet.

[Smartie]

BBQ hula hoops with a packet of M&Ms poured into the packet.

I've taken to getting lentil soup for my lunch from the shop around the corner from my work and dropping BBQ hula hoops into it.

Perfect texture and flavour for it.

I won't be in a rush to add M&M's to the mix though.

[1875Sean]

Kraft cheesy pasta

[EH6 Hibby]

Chopped ham and pork with cheesey coleslaw on a roll.

[matty_f]

Kraft cheesy pasta

My daughter loves that, if I’m making it for her I’ll always keep a wee bit back for myself!

[matty_f]

Mashed up egg in a cup.

[BarneyBreslin]

Chips and Hot and Sour soup from the Chinese. Pour the lot into one big bowl. Yum.

[Sylar]

A portion of donner meat, chips and mayonnaise.

Someone introduced me to it when I was utterly ******ed once as a student, and it's still my go-to when I've had one too many :greengrin

Gourmet or healthy it definitely is not!

A sandwich made with plain bread, smoked ham and McCoy's salt and vinegar crisps - the absolute bollocks :greengrin

[Itsnoteasy]

Mcdonalds chips & a mcflurry.

Just dunk those chips into the ice cream

[Willis1875]

Haggis,cheese,jalapeños,sweet chilli sauce on a wrap and slightly grilled…..the sweatier the better for the haggis

[Jones28]

Mashed up egg in a cup.

One of my grannies specials. Her sight was terrible so she always heavily salted them and put in a cholesterol worrying amount of butter, but they were heavenly.

That and her cheesy pasta was the bollocks. Bacon, broccoli, onion and tatties with about a kilo of cheese.

My granny used to make egg in a cup too. Only place I ever remember getting it.

I think she genuinely thought it could cure anything. A day off school sick, taken to my grannies to stay and it was 'egg in a cup for breakfast and chicken soup for lunch and you'll be fine'.

Crisps in soup in general is class. Just chuck a bag of salt and vinegar into some heinz tomatae for example, and enjoy that lasagna texture and very agreeable taste!

[Bridge hibs]

Tripe, simply makes me gag even at the thought of it 🤮 a staple diet in my Nanas house and I remember my Dad eating it in huge amounts very regularly 🤮

Stick it in a baking tin, sprinkle grated cheese on top and then whack it in the oven. Ooft.

French toast with sugar, sounds horrendous but I love it.
Another favourite of mine is spam fritters can’t remember last time I had some.
+1 for eggs in a cup with butter and pepper.

Not as horrendous as you think. A lot of places in the world have French toast as a sweet dessert with ice cream and berries etc. Not like the savoury option we usually go for here.

Oh no, that’s entirely my ignorance, not hers 😂

She wouldn’y ken cholesterol if it put extra lard in her pan.


Just realised I said salt twice; it should have been butter 😂

[O'Rourke3]

Pot Noodle on a pie could be a contender for best one so far - what kind of pie are we talking here?Standard Scots pie. Nothing fancy. Egg in a cup was standard growing up fare and not, IMHO, in the spirit of the thread. Salad cream pieces, another favourite growing up, is in the same category.

3/4 pieces of dairy milk, keep in your mouth until melted and then eat a ready salted crisp, preferably a ready salted mccoys but standard works.

The Mrs gave me this one and it was surprisingly nice, although not something I have often at all but peanut butter on toast with melted cheese on top.

Used to love a cheese and jam pieces when I was young which my mum/family thought weird, but as ive got older reallised its really just a kids version of a brie and cranberry/some sort of fancy 'jelly'. Redcurrent and brie being my choice if I see it, bacon for additional goodness.
