Mine is sage and onion stuffing - oh my lord! Anyone else care for a bit of lighthearted divulging? Better out than in, after all!

Fartichokes here too.
Delicious! I did a Tom Kerridge recipe involving both a purée and sliced with chicken. We both thought we’d escaped that night but before breakthrough next day (teaching then) I was I extraordinary pain, got to the loo at break and my head nearly went through the ceiling.
Texted DH and it had hit him too.

Cauliflower. I’ve had to stop eating it, despite how much I love it.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 29/03/2020 22:12

Aubergines.

I am extremely windy ( might be connected to chronic constipation) so it’s a good job DH & I have a very relaxed attitude to it! Some particularly “ bad” foods are stuffing, baked beans, pasties, chickpeas etc, curry, sausages,swede, another vote for chicken, lots of tinned soups, lentils.........

Hahahahahaha.

This thread is what we need now.

I'm seconding Jerusalem artichokes.

French onion soup is also a killer.

As is anything involving a surfeit of cabbage.

It's easier for me to say what doesn't make me trump, I follow Slimming World so admittedly there's a lot of veg involved with what I eat, but I boff with such a powerful force all the time these days, and they absolutely stink.

Winterwoollies · 29/03/2020 22:16

Lentils. My god, lentils.

chockaholic72 · 29/03/2020 22:16

Onions and leeks. I love them but when I eat them I say a quick prayer that I live on my own.

stopgap · 29/03/2020 22:17

Beans and grains. I could never be vegan.

CakeAndGin · 29/03/2020 22:18

Eggs, curry and lentils.

Made the most of not being around my colleagues tomorrow by having a lentil curry for dinner this evening and I’ll probably have eggs for lunch tomorrow. Thank god they can’t smell you over video call.

TotallyWipedout · 29/03/2020 22:18

I needed a laugh, and I've now got it.

I let off a tremendous fart this morning when DP went upstairs to fetch a book (we don't live together - I was at his house). I thought he might have heard it from 3 floors up. It immediately made me wonder what I had to eat the previous night, and I could only think of cauliflower cheese and two blood oranges.

WitsEnding · 29/03/2020 22:18

I have a great spicy soup recipie that include cauliflower, chickpeas and lentils and quantities of 'Indian' spices. It makes several helpings and lasts me for days - fortunately I live on my own as I can almost play tunes by the time I've finished it.

Might make a batch to entertain myself as there's no-one here to annoy!

HalloumiSalad · 29/03/2020 22:19

Parsnip soup. Luckily roasted are fine. 😁

WitchDancer · 29/03/2020 22:22

Sprouts, egg, onion, oh and a nice pint of mild (before I went teetotal).

I'll never forget the bike rally I went on as long as I live. I had a fantastic Friday night with lots of pints of mild. The next morning I woke fairly early so went to get a brew from the tea tent. There I was chatting away and I felt one brewing....thought I could sneak it out but it wasn't silent and it definitely was deadly. I cleared the tea tent and got a round of applause Blush A day of this became rather wearing but I was ready for round two on Saturday night - the bar staff refused to give me mild Confused

Grapes.
White bread especially warburtons.
Sprouts.

@Macncheeseballs it might be an age thing? I never used to understand why people avoided foods 'that didn't agree with them' but then to my horror, it happened to me from about age 30 onwards. Or you are just blessed with a very calm bowel.

Jellyhater · 29/03/2020 22:26

Cauliflower

Bezalelle · 29/03/2020 22:26

Literally all food. I am windy as fuck.

blueskys72 · 29/03/2020 22:27

Sugar! I've been following a keto diet and if I've had a couple of biscuits one day, I start farting again! Whilst on plan, nothing 👌🏼

MowzersAsleep · 29/03/2020 22:28

Homous that must have been off Sad

Chickydoo · 29/03/2020 22:28

Pastry, white sauces. Put them together and I can't move.

Had a 3 bean soup for lunch. Beans.
