To think not keeping sugar in the house

[Hullygully]

Is fine if no one in your family takes it and it's poison anyway?

YANBU. Obviously. Why do you ask?

Depends on whether you have guests round regularly really.

A caddy full of sugar in the back of the cupboard won't give you nightmares.

YANBU unless you judge others for having sugar in their houses.
Do you have caster or icing sugar for baking?

Cake! Cake! No sugar = no cake! Are you crazy??

I have guests but I don't have all sorts of things they might like. I don't have instant coffee or ordinary tea or biscuits.

Caster sugar for baking though

Would it really kill guests to have one cup of tea sans sucre?

It's fine! I get told off for it but I remain unbowed.

It's a bit poor hosty and also it's necessary in some dishes. You couldn't make a pasta sauce without a bit of sugar.

We only have golden caster sugar (for baking) and often run out. We also only have Earl Grey tea. My friends know to bring their own tea

Sugar is poison ?? That is a revelation knew I should have took Home Ec at school !!

BAKE??

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

SUGAR IN PASTA SAUCE?

What fresh hell is this?

No, I hardly ever have sugar in the house, I started a thread about it a couple of weeks ago.

Nobody I know takes sugar so if someone comes round and needs sugar in their coffee I have to go rummaging around in the back of the cupboard for a pack of demerara left over from dd's cooking exploits.

It's something I never buy.

I should just steal some from Costa the next time I am there.

But what would you use to cook with?

You would really be unreasonable if you replaced it with sweetners.

Sugar isn't poison - isn't it too much sugar poison ...

I think it's rude to make guests drink tea without sugar because you don't like it. It won't kill me to drink tea without sugar, but I wouldn't like it or choose to drink it. Why are you concerned about other people's sugar intake?

Would it really kill guests to have one cup of tea sans sucre?

I don't take sugar in my tea but I'm sure it would be a lot nicer for them if you just kept some in the back of your cupboard and forgot about it until they visit.

What's the problem with keeping it in the house? Are you afraid you/your family will binge on it?

Sugar cuts the acdity of tomatoes ...

I have a lump of jaggery for use in curries (a great hulk of palm sugar which looks like Tutankhamun's brain). I could offer that, with a chisel, I suppose.

I've had one bag of sugar in the cupboard for about 10 years and it's still not half empty.

Can sugar go off?

I would kill someone though if I did not get my first cup of tea of the day without 2 sugars !! The rest of the day would be OK-Do you have sweetners??

I don't think so knees, am sure it has got a really long shelf life.

Sugar to cook with?

For the love of god WHY?
