That's cheese? (Sorry 'cheese'. )

gentlegreen not sure what an Easter bun is (like a hot cross bun?) but that is a terrible thing to do to it.

I only learned about it from the lyrics of a Prince Far-I song.
During my slightly omnivorous years, I did once buy an Easter bun, but never the canned cheese.

It's wrong that "decent" healthy food is not often affordable and that parent(s) may have so much going on in their lives, that the local fast food is the only option.

Our system over here means a lot of unhealthy food is way cheaper than fresh ingredients

Nope it's lush!

Noodles with Chiu chow chilli oil stirred through and a fried egg on top. Microwave rice - if you’re too lazy to steam and cool some it works) 1/4 tsp of msg & tablespoon of soy mixed in, then fry and fry an egg and put on top. Drizzle with chilli oil. Bacon brunch (Sainsbury’s and Waitrose sell it) it’s basically German Bratkartoffeln in a foil pouch. Chop up some Tulip bacon grill and fry the lot. Yes I fry an egg snd serve one on top and call it Yorkshire nasi goreng

 

[pogofish]

Quick n'dirty Skirlie.

Grapeseed or some other high smoke-point oil. As much or little as you need to get a nice thick/ sticky consistency

Knob of butter - If you have an iron stomach that doesn't suffer from indigestion, you can replace the oil/butter with beef dripping!

Onion and garlic powder

Coarse ground or pinhead oatmeal if you like it really toasty/crunchy.

Heat oil, hot - Chuck-in knob.

Add Oatmeal - usually twice what you think you are capable of eating. You will eat it all!
Quickly add 1-2 teaspoons of onion powder and maybe half a teaspoon of garlic powder. Too much garlic powder and you will probably fart like never before the next day.

Stir/keep moving so it doesn't burn until it bubbles gently but ominously in the bottom of the pan - typically no more than a couple of minutes.

Take off the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes so it isn't instant full thickness burns in your mouth. Again keep it moving as it is hot enough to still burn in the pan for a couple of minutes after you turn of the heat!

Salt, pepper and anything else to your taste (eg I'm fond of little bit of Cumin)

Enjoy, copiously.

Sounds way too healthy were it not for the suggestion of butter/beef dripping! I think that qualifies

Wrong thread. That's actual cooking that you'd do to impress people.

Nah, thanks to the onion and garlic powder, it’s just swizz in the pan for a couple of minutes - no peeling/chopping involved. The oatmeal is straight out of the bag too. Dead easy - Not much harder than a bit of toast.

Washing-up can wait!

Nowhere near as dirty as three greggs sausage rolls

Not as dirty as a microwaveable kebab and a packet of Nerds

 

[weltweit]

I am going to do, sausages, carrots and broccoli which should take around 15 minutes.

[Chilli.s]

made a cottage pie sandwich for lunch. Toast two slices, butter, brown sauce, dollop of old pie from a scraps bowl in the fridge, lush.

 

[Elpenor]

I once put one of those part baked baguettes in the oven and when it was baked added butter, rice fresh from from the rice cooker, crisps, grated cheese, bacon and bbq sauce

That was rather good

 

[BigMoaner]

heinz spaghetti hoops and grated cheese on toast is filth-light but a great lunch.

There is a lot of filthy lunch stuff you can do with part baked baguettes - you can slice into them before baking (like you were doing a garlic baguette) and put all sorts of stuff in there - cheese, cheese and jalpeno peppers, cheese and thinly sliced hot dog sausages (probably advisable to boil them for 3 minutes first to ensure they are hot all the way through) etc etc. Then bake it.

 

[BigMoaner]

i've often found myself having a saucepan of my kids' cocopops at around midnight. always tastes great with extra cold milk, but the shame as i grapple with that saucepan.

 

[BigMoaner]

i've had Woks of frosties, mixing bowls of shreddies.

This sounds like you have some issues washing the dishes so you have bowls available, rather than cooking unhealthy things

It involves actual cooking and using real ingredients. Definitely not dirty.

 

[BigMoaner]

get a crumpet, cover in cheese, lay two anchovies on top, grill, then a slice of tomato on top and then sprinkle with mixed herbs.

 

[BigMoaner]

even at forty, still love a Wham Bar.

[Humberto]

Crab flavoured sticks

 

[Epona]

Back in the day (many years ago now) I used to do a bird's eye grill (they did them in beef and lamb iirc) with a pack of dried savoury rice or chicken rice.

Yeah and there should be bonus points for as few cooking implements as possible.

Yes. Dirty in the metaphorical sense, not in the oh no I have to wash up anything more than a plate and a fork sense.

Yeah definitely I am thinking at the more unhealthy end of all the baguette and/or similar shaped bread related quick foods
