What was your loved, quick and easy meal as a child?

I’ve totally gone off food...but tonight I’m having cheesy box pasta, chicken nuggets and tomato sauce. It’s the kind of thing my mum would have thrown together when I was wee when I was skint. (See my profile pic - it’s stunning).

I also loved spaghetti hoops and waffles

I demanded chicken dippers, potatoe smiles and baked beans every night as a kid. Angel Delight with sprinkles on top for pudding.

It was heaven for me.

Did anyone else have just corn on the cob as their main meal? 1 corn cob.

I can't imagine giving my child just a corn, surely it's as part of a meal? Not in my house it wasn't.

My little sisters love corn on the cob as a meal and will happily have it! It was something my mum never tried with me and my brother (who is only a year younger than me) but my sisters are seven and ten years younger than me and love it

Cheese and potato pie.

It's not a pie. It's mash topped with cheese then thrown under the grill to brown.

We would have that, and if we were lucky some baked beans with it.

Monday night teas were always my favorite

Cold meat from the Sunday roast with roast potatoes (and not the frozen ones) with loads of gravy followed by a fruit crumble and custard

It tasted all the better because Monday dinner at primary school was the worst of the week cheese pie, lumpy ice cream scoop mash and cabbage followed by semolina and a blob of jam Christ I can still taste it now

I think it's because I work in the food industry, and it's on the kids menu as part of the meal that I just can't picture it being an entire meal anymore.

Ah my mum used to make this in a big Pyrex dish in the oven. If she was feeling fancy she'd decorate the top with a bit of sliced tomato.

The cheese would be like molten lava, delicious ..

Sausage soup. It was a polish smoked sausage, sliced and thrown in a big soup with carrots and cabbage and pickles and a ton of dried herbs.

It was heaven, sour and smoky at the same time.

Could quite happily have eaten that every night of my childhood.

Runny boiled eggs and soldiers was always my ‘go to’ meal when I was ill. But one day a few months ago I had it, and I had been dunking my toast in and went to put it in my mouth and it was just dripping with blood - haven’t eaten it again

One of my best mates was hospitalised by a 2am drink-fuelled Fray Bentos pie mishap. Got in from a night out in urgent need of some munch. The pastry lid came off as it was coming out the oven and scalding hot filling gave him some pretty serious burns, as a professional jazz pianist he was panicking severely. We called him an ambulance! Funny now but not at all at the time. I've only ever eaten one myself and it tasted OK but gave me fearsome runs so I decided they might not be for me, after all that.

A can of TipTop with a hole knocked into it to pour from, drank straight from said hole.

Not that my parents fed us that, it was an accompaniment to fruit salad. But there was always some left over and it would be gone by the end of the night as myself and my siblings would sneak into the fridge and take swigs from it at various times throughout the evening..

Well... This was a while ago before his career really took off. Fray Bentos was as good as it came in the early days! I'm fairly sure after the major burns suffered he never dared eat another.
