A niche item or food you could never give up.

Hi all, first ever post so please be kind!

Currently on mat leave and was enjoying some chocolate raisins during a contact nap last night (after DS jabs). I hardly ever have them (choccy raisins) but my God I find them addictive, I could never give them up.

So I am curious. What niche things could you never give up, things you don't have or use everyday but you would be really put out or upset If you could never have/use them again?

An apple peeler and corer! I like dried apple rings for dc snacks, use it for crumbles and a few other recipes. Love it

Skips, family bag. Randomly love them but I have technically given them up for weightloss, so I'll say mumsnet as well

Nice hearing about little things that make people happy 😊

Capers and black olives. The rest of the family hate them, I think they make so many meals delicious.

Vaseline in tiny round tubs as lip balm. I have one in each coat pocket.

Mint and orange Club biscuits.

This is very sad but good bin bags. Shit bin bags are the worst.

Cheese. Every few months we go through a stage of having cheese toasties. Yum.

Zippidydoodah · 17/01/2025 13:31

Sundried tomatoes. 😋

sallyrhubarbbb · 17/01/2025 13:31

Carmex. The little round pots not the stuff in tubes. I have one in my bag at all times and a stash of them littered around the house. Top tier lip balm.

Favouritefruits · 17/01/2025 13:32

Yoghurt covered ‘fruit’ it’s so unhealthy but delicious! And lip balm I have them all around the house and in every coat pocket 😀

Bovril cubes , either made into a hot and sour drink with added white pepper and vinegar or just eaten ‘raw’ - I need a high salt diet

How do you make the dried apple rings?

dizzydizzydizzy · 17/01/2025 13:39

Yogurt, coffee, travel. Life would not be so good without them.

Almonds. Munching a handful as I type 😋

Fresh and super crunchy.
Oh.. and Yorkshire Tea.
