M&S sweet and salty roasted cashews. I had to stop buying them.
I wasn't being economical buying a large bag. I was simply hastening a potential heart attack.

Baklava. I tell myself one piece a day. Then I scoff the lot within an hour

Salt and vinegar cracker crisps. I cannot have them in the house. I wish they did little bags, but they only come in large bags.

Crisps
Large bags/bars of chocolate
Sweets
Packets of biscuits
Cereal. This ones a weird one but even e most boring cereal I get a compulsion to just eat and eat it until it's gone. This has been since childhood. If I don't have milk, a bowl and a spoon I will just eat it dry like popcorn.
Popcorn.
Ice lollies (but not tubs of ice cream which I'm much better with!)

Krispy Kreme's. I bought a dozen of the fancy filled ones and a dozen of the plain glazed ones last Friday. All 24 were gone by Sunday evening, I reckon DC managed about 8 between them max. I'm now 3lbs heavier and won't be doing that again Blush

MrsIPFreely · 11/10/2021 17:38

Houmous
Any crisps which are opened

First day just spread with butter, maybe a sharp cheddar on top. Second day toasted, spread with butter maybe a sharp cheddar on top if it makes it to day 2

@Underamour

I am making it now- sadly the kids love it more than me and so I am lucky yo get a bite. Pulled beef- boil the beef for 8 hours on a low heat in water with Rosemary, basil, salt, pepper and garlic(anything else you like too). The beef falls apart in your hands it’s so soft and infused with amazing flavour.

Also today have a very strong urge today to saute a huge bag of tomatoes and red pepper for 15 minutes with seasoning then a little melted mozzarella on top. Indescribably good.

Hello. Please, what joint of beef would you use for this??? 👀👀.
