Mine has to eggs. I have to have rich delicious golden yolk eggs. I don't care how much they cost.

Just derailing my own thread for a moment there.

I’m living in denial about my positive blood test result and haven’t been back for the requested follow up. I’ve got no symptoms and frankly do not want to eat a GF diet if I don’t have to.

I will revise this if I ever get any symptoms.

Dark rum. It has to be Pyrat XO or Pineapple Plantation Stiggins Fancy spiced rum. No others will do!

Meat here too. Trying to cut down though. We reckon it's better to have good meat half the time rather than crap all the time.

Baked beans
Tea
Fish Fingers

Pretty much anything else can and is own brand or cheap.

Life is too short for cheap coleslaw.

Also, tonic water/mixers in general. My DP calls me an enormous snob because I refer to Schweppes as 'council tonic'.

Burford Brown eggs!! Proper cheese, good wine and Gail's sourdough bread

bluetissuepaper · 07/11/2018 15:37

Preferably all at once

Taffeta · 07/11/2018 15:42

Oh yes butter.

I only recently discovered Lye Cross Farm butter. Proper, yellow, salty farmhouse butter.

Anchor etc seen an affront now.

HoraceWimple · 07/11/2018 15:42

Steak. I never buy it from any supermarket, has to be from a decent butcher.

I love a good quality olive too v

HashTagLil · 07/11/2018 15:46

Coffee, meat, chocolate, wine and cornflakes.

HashTagLil · 07/11/2018 15:47

Oh and Lurpak spreadable or real butter.

Sorry, I know it's more than one.

astoundedgoat · 07/11/2018 16:00

Meat (can I count eggs in with that too?).

I can make my own bread if need be, so I'd do that sooner than buy cheap bread.

Coffee obv.

I'm a wine snob, but I won't turn my nose up at a £5 bottle!

TwistinMyMelon · 07/11/2018 16:02

Heinz ketchup

Those saying eggs, should try Pekin Bantam eggs. A very high yolk to white level. Make brilliant cakes. We had free range Pekins. Most delicious eggs ever.
