He doesn't like after eights! (lighthearted)

Just that simply. My partner thinks after eights are weird. He also doesn't like fish, any kind of fish. I think this isn't meant to be.

God, yes! The futile rummaging, the horrible empty sound of those hollow packets, the scent of the box teasing you with what it can no longer deliver. The piper must be paid after the fun has been had

Some people can't stand mint or orange chocolate and those people are weirdos

Not a big fan of fish though.

As long as he's not vegan you'll be fine

I love mint choc and biscuits but don't like mint jelly, drinks or ice-cream.

Also Tesco's own after eights are far superior to actual after eights.

I like After Eights

I hate fish or seafood of any description

Don't like milk, cream, butter, or any sauces or soups made with them either, and I'm none too keen on cheese

Miggeldy there are some of us in here who remember Hellas chocolate bars which were around in the early to mid 80s There was a milk choc one filled with a transparent red strawberry fondant and it was lovely.

They need to bring these back.

They did do limited edition white After Eights for a couple of Christmases years ago.

I really fancy After Eights now (and leave the little sleeves in the box too).

I was all for LTB until you threw in a MASSIVE drip feed about pineapple on pizza.
I think you are made for each other. HTH

Tried those, but white chocolate mint is just fricking weird.

I love after eights but not had them for years.
I like those really thin chocolates in the shape of a pringle. They're delicious in mint flavour.
I used to get what were like jaffa cakes but minty and also chocolates that were kind of cube shaped and filled with a gooey mint cream. They were delicious too.

I had sweetcorn on pizza for YEARS and I only recently realised it adds literally nothing.

HelenaDove · 11/10/2018 01:19

I tried the white choc Twix That was nice.
