I'll die on this hill. These were my favourite hot dogs growing up and I still have them from time to time. What are your guilty pleasures? (feddit.uk)

I ate mountains of Ye Olde Oak hotdogs as a student.

I'm now a vegetarian but some days I do think back fondly to them. My usual "guilty pleasure" snack now is a "bagel pizza" - cheap bagel, ketchup, slices of cheddar grilled to be just barely melted. I had it once at a friends' house whose mum was Canadian, and it lives rent free in my mind.

He also taught me D&D, painted me a Kroot Auxiliary tau army(!) and was/is a wonderfully odd chap.

Ye Olde Oak make veggie hotdogs too !

[–] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 6 points 3 days ago

Didn't know they did! TIL

Well, RIP my waistline then I suppose!

Ye Olde Oak hotdogs are also good. Normally the little shops I went into only had the Kingsfood ones and they were about 30-40p per tin.

There's something special about corner shop brands. They always have the best dolly mix.

How has no one addressed the abomination in the room? Ketchup and melted cheese on a bagel called "pizza"? I hate to yuck your yum, but holy hell.

Would it be better if I did it in my pizza oven?

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Maybe? Probably better than turning your toaster on its side.

Sliced up Ye Olde Oak hotdogs, two cans of tuna, mushrooms, mayo. That’s my guilty pleasure, although it’s got tuna and mushrooms so it’s automatically healthy, obviously.

Now that I’ve seen that written down it seems like a weird concoction, but I promise you it’s delicious

I want to assure you the thought of eating this made me nauseous.

[–] TheBlueWatch@feddit.uk 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah I may need to rethink my life choices to be honest

[–] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

It doesn't look that weird to me, but I'm not sure that reflects worse on me...
