What food or drink do you consume an inordinate amount of?

[GrumpyTwatFace]

For me, its spinach. I eat it raw with every meal. I can easily get through 1kg a week by myself 😮

For DP, its tinned fish. He has it every day for lunch. He treats himself to fancy ones which is currently costing us about £150 a month 😮

What about you?

Tea, cucumber (between us DD and I get through a cucumber a day), chickpeas.

When I was discharged from hospital after a kidney stone they gave me a list of foods to avoid. Spinach was top of the list. I was amazed, always thought it was a super food.

mine is avocados and dairy lea triangles. Yeah, I’m weird.

I love chocolate too but when I was breastfeed I absolutely craved it, like had to have it. Apparently it's quite common when you have a magnesium deficiency, who knew!

Marks and Spencer toffees. I throw the coffee ones away (!). I really shouldn't eat them at my age - my dentist would be horrified - but they were my go to on a long car journey and now if I'm in the store I am always sorely tempted. In fact I bought a bag on Monday and they've all gone. They are Devon cream, salted caramel and chocolate. Delicious.

Corona and crisps.

Those chilled Starbucks coffee things. Man, i love them.

This but for special dipped in plain chocolate.

Original coca cola, eggs, toast

Amazon and also some Waitrose sell the multipacks - I don’t shop in Waitrose but if I see one I always pop in!!

Iceland do a knock off version that’s good and also 4 for £1 but we get our on brand ones form big Tesco

Bizarrely, my local corner shop sells it, and our local cafe and garden centre cafe. But I only get it as a treat.

My worst is when they only have the lemon / lime varieties. Yuk! Taste like soap.

Tea, decaf coffee.

Smoked salmon, preferably the super expensive hand-carved onto clear plastic kind from Panzer's. Otherwise, my friends know which other brands I will deign to tolerate. Indeed, when I was recovering from surgery, instead of flowers, my friends all bought me smoked salmon.

Such is my love of smoked salmon, for the six week recovery period post-mastectomy and before I started chemotherapy, I ate smoked salmon every single day (mostly to make up for the fact I was advised to not eat it during treatment which would have meant six months without it.

The other thing I consume is vast amount is freshly boiled hot water. I drink 3-4 litres a day. One of the worst parts of chemo (for me at least) was I found it very difficult to tolerate hot drinks, particularly water 😔

For the past few months, have been obsessed with chickpeas. I eat them once, if not twice a day, every day!

i didn’t know you could get grapefruit flavour sanpellegrino.
i love the lemon one and the blood orange one.
It’s not available in my nearest Tesco.
where do you get yours from please.

Coca cola in a glass bottle is the best

Warburtons wholemeal toast, butter and a poached egg. In fact two eggs.

Amazon normally. But if we go past a Waitrose I always make DP stop because they sell them there as well!! The grapefruit is the best!!

Maltesers. I now buy fun size as I could otherwise destroy a family pack in ten minutes.

Tea, peanut butter, cheese

@WitchesCauldron

Guess I’m weird then 😂

People keep mentioning vimto and I love that and now I want some. Will have to get someone to bring me some back from the Uk

I had tuna for tea every night for a week and I stank like a fishmongers after, it was sweating out of me 🤮🤣

For me it’s chicken and apples, eat loads everyday

I would love some recipes too.

I already cook a few Asian and Italian based aubergine based dishes.

Mushrooms. I eat them nearly every day. In Omelettes, sauteed, stir fried, breaded and fried, in soups and stews and mushroom bacon. My favorites are maitake, enoki, and oyster.

I have real problems with lunches when I'm working from home. I end up just buying bread rolls and shoving some cheese and lettuce on them with spinach on the side 😂

This week, I'm being a bit more creative. I've got veggie burgers. I've made some pesto for pasta. I've bought some fancy market scones. Not outlandish but its getting me to actually think about what I want for lunch each day.

Bread rolls, cheese and lettuce (and spinach!) sounds good to me
If I don't buy lunch out, I just eat crisps, chunks of cheese, crackers, hunks of bread, biscuits...

You've actually inspired me to try to make my own sandwiches/rolls though. I don't know why I have such a problem with making lunch myself, but I keep looking at the numbers and I just can't sensibly defend it, not now everything is so expensive.
