Nothing wrong with a pack of twiglets and a pint or two of bitter...
Got a tip for us?

Do you mean real butter or the disgusting "buttr" flavoured grease most movie theatres pass off as the real thing?
I agree with you on the Chicago-style Pizza...yuck.
I live in New York, and love me a good slice of New York thin-crust!
Popcorn is also nasty from both a smell and taste perspective.

Oh my, not at all. Not at all. You may not like the taste of twiglets, but combos are filled with a disgusting salty “meat” or “cheese” paste that has no purpose but to make you loathe ever fiber of your being as you chew.
They're both vile. Tried to get a dog to eat them once and they huffed out of there.
There's a diner someplace along my old commute from the city to the sticks that has advertised "deep fried cheese dogs" for decades now. Apparently this item is popular enough to warrant keeping that part of its billboard-like menu intact while the diner owner occasionally switches up the other offerings.
I looked up the dish online when I first noticed it, to see if it was a joke? but alas, no. There is such a thing, of course, and lo these many years later, this being the USA, there are a zillion varieties of it as well. Unbelievable. Anyway on principle I dislike them as I will not eat the principal underpinning, hotdogs, no matter how they're cooked or what gets wrapped around them. And deep fried anything runs a close second. So that's a no from me...

I guess you don't like marmite then!

What's a combos?
This:

Baked snacks with various fillings. Don't ask what.
The only time I've bought Combos was for fishing chum. Should give you a rough idea of what most think of it. I didn't even know they still sold it.
I like it. Can eat it by the spoon. As I've said in the past.

Chicago thin crust is also excellent...but yeah, can't beat real NY pizza!!
You're thinking of 'rippers' . Hot dogs where the skin tears when being deep fried . Think it may be a NJ - NYC thing mostly , Can't remember ever seeing it advertised anywhere else . I have the good (or bad) luck to be at the ground zero of ripperdom , being almost equally distant from Rutt's Hut and Hiram's . Nothin' like a Hirams dog w/ kraut and brown mustard plus a side of fries , a beer , and an extra statin . Though , every now and then when I'm over in the city , I'll confess to sucking down a dirty water dog , or 2
When I travel , if I'm gone for more than a couple of days I find I'm missing NJ dogs , pizza , and Taylor Ham . Hate to have to get a blood test and have the M.D. tell me that I've got a severe deficiency in both monosodium glutamate and FD&C yellow .
I eat a disgusting amount of stone ground mustard.
By itself, or on things?
Also, I’ve never hit the “disgusting” amount, and I eat a mega-ton of coarse mustard.
I love thin crust pizza. I don't get to have it very often because no one else in my family particularly likes it.
At a pound or two a month I think it is safe to say you eat some food with your mustard and not the other way around.
Yes, well, I can't imagine myself or anyone sitting there and eating it our of the ceramic jar with a spoon. I mean, someone out there might, but they're a rare case.
Hey I understand. I love a good stoneground mustard, and, while I don’t consume nearly as much as you, I’ve been known to sneak a teaspoon into my mouth once in a while for the flavor.
Something to do with a predilection for pungent flavors I think...
Disgusting?
Speak for yourself young man: As @mobilehaathi has already remarked - re himself - this is not an unknown malady; indeed, I have been known to succumb to it myself, on occasion.
For that matter, how will one - empirically, that is - know exactly what the mustard will taste like unless a spoon has already paid it a visit?
I will let you into a secret. Today, in a well-stocked deli in the capital - after attending a meeting but before heading home on the train (and my bag was ever so slightly aromatic, as some stunning cheeses had been bought), on my arrival home, I had to restrain myself from opening the wholegrain mustard with fig that I spotted (and purchased) and sticking a spoon into that fat, French, inviting, welcoming jar.

@Scepticalscribe I like the sound of that. Young man, even after nearly half a century of living. Shall ask the missus to refer to me as that in the house. Should further spice things up. Yeah, mustard and cheese sandwiches are a guilty pleasure of mine, too. Pickle and cheese brings back memories of childhood. Pickle as in the chutney.
Though it appears you misread. I was talking about an individual who would sit at a table and eat the entire contents of the a mustard jar, and not merely a tablespoon as you thought.
