Things you can't eat normally

[May Kasahara]

Cherries, definitely - a good batch of ripe cherries lasts about 5 seconds in my world.
Olives, preferably delicious marinated olives - so good I walked for half an hour with a crippling hangover just to buy two punnets of a particular kind (then ate them both within the hour, and gave myself really bad runs and it still didn't put me off!)

I regularly disgust myself with how much of my own cooking I can eat. It's like a little private ego-wank combined with a gluttonous pigout. I always, always cook twice as much as necessary and if I've made a particularly tasty dish I often end up eating till I hurt.

Recently I've been trying to cut down my portion sizes to something more like normal, with pretty good success in fact...all except one food. - This is going to sound really stupid, but pasta and fresh tomato sauce, or my veggie spag bol, are the demons of food. I can't trust myself with them. They call to me.

Jesus, I'm disgusting.

They fucking know you're gonna eat the lot.

Bastards

Stroopwaffles

Well, peanut butter, crisps, savoury biscuits, chocolate, good cheese, bombay mix, honey nut cornflakes, cakes of any description.

Come to Derby moose. You know you want to . They've got the continental market on here until Sunday and there's a stall flogging 3 packets for a fiver. Loads of olives, cured sausages and stacks of v stinky cheese. Do they do stroopwaffles in Lidl or Aldi? I've never thought to look before.

Must add to the list cheese and biscuits. I can chomp through mountains of the stuff before getting anywhere near full.

And ditto for me May. I make huge lasagnes or shepherd's pies saying that I'll freeze some but never do. Ends up in my belly instead

I know I do - sounds great, and just up the road. Unfortunately I have to go to the Lakes shortly for the weekend. Is this a regular event?

Pig bought some yuppie crisps from Sainsbury's, Taste The Difference chilli, cheese and chorizo. Don't even go there, they are more addictive than crack.

Not that I have tried crack but these crisps are evil!

I thought policemen subsisted on donuts & twinkies....

Or have I been watching too many American cop shows?

 

[magneze]

WTF are "twinkies" anyway?

Looks like some kind of biscuit porn to me...

It's the continental market in the market place by the Assembly Rooms. Unfortunately it's only on twice a year Runs until tomorrow, Sunday, afternoon. Got some wicked Nag Champa incense too. A quid a box so the house is alternating between the smell of v strong cheese and incense

I will try my damnest to find someone else in Derby that sells stroopwaffles mind. I've got a nose like a truffle hunting pig when it comes to sussing out unusual foods and beverages. My kitchen cupboards look more like an art installation than a store cupboard
