    I'm kind of tempted by the pot noodle sandwich…..

    Same here! I often dip buttered bread in my pot noodle so feels like the next natural step 😅

    Heard about the lasagne sandwich too before. Would try that too.

    I've always got funny looks for spooning crunchy peanut butter onto celery sticks and just chowing down on them.

    I like the taste of petrol and diesel when siphoning … would rather that than some of the above combos …

    Strangest and most horrible thing I've attempted … warming up malt loaf in the microwave and adding Elmlea cream

    Absolutely disgusting, not one of my cleverest thoughts

    @WelshBlue

    I can't help thinking of some of the more robust whiskies from Scotland, especially Islay … petrol comes up as a genuine tasting note

    There's a distillery on Islay called Laphroaig which was allowed to carry on selling in the USA during prohibition because they convinced Customs & Excise that it tasted so bad people would only buy it for medicinal value

    I love the smell of petrol and diesel, never siphoned it or tasted it though!

    Oooh I love marmite and I love cucumber, can even imagine cucumber sticks with marmite, but for some reason the idea of them together in a sandwich is not hitting right for me!

    How did you discover it??

    @Biblioklept as a child I can remember eating it at a neighbours house back in the 60s. My mum then starting making them and we have passed the love onto my son. Yummy, I fancy one now.

    I enjoy artisan bread nowadays but for some reason this sandwich tastes nicer if made with packaged white sliced bread 😄and the cucumber needs to be very thinly sliced.

    When we were young we used to eat 'pobs' - bread broken up with hot milk and sugar, it was gross. Had to eat it for breakfast when we had no cereals. And sugar butties ! Ha, wouldn't eat either now.

    Got to be crunchy for me. Smooth just ends up sticking to the roof of my mouth.

    Ooh, that's one I like; Fishfingers, crunchy peanut butter and franks hot sauce, in a plain white bread sarnie. 😋

    Another one is Marmite pasta. Sis is addicted to the stuff, but t's certainly an acquired taste, even if you like marmite.

    Cheese and marmite toasties are delicious though.

    It certainly doesn't taste medicinal, goodness knows how the distillery pulled that one off!

    That aside, i definitely wouldn't want anything in my house that king big ears enjoys.

    @Ranald

    I agree with you about the core bottles, but some of their more niche ones do taste a bit like acetone, iodine, bandages and such

    I imagine Charlie has been a patron ever since he crash landed his plane at their distillery about 30 years ago and caused £1m in damage … I guess they felt compelled to forget about the cost and he felt compelled to give them his warrant 😆

    Laphroaig is the only whisky I like, to me it taste smoky & a little fruity, but, that's just me! 😆I have syphoned petrol, but wouldn't say it has those notes, just the burn.

    @Santosha12, I also had bread sop as a kid, but with cold milk & the sugar sandwiches too! Oh, those were the days!!

    Yes, the Islay malts have a peaty note. I prefer Speyside whiskies, such as Glenfarclas.

    Growing up with a functioning alcoholic father who would stop off at the pub for a half pint of whiskey (literally in a 1/2 pint glass) the smell alone is enough to turn my stomach … would rather drink petrol 😁

    Marmite crisps, love them but couldn't eat the real thing.

    All this talk of cucumber … love it, but an hour later even with my GERD tablets it hates me with a vengeance. A bit of a mickey take really when I'm religiously looking after 3 cuc' plants for my wife to have them

    With food, if I don't like the texture the taste doesn't matter
