So apparently I stress eat whilst cooking 😂 I have 3 autistic children, all with different food intolerances, 1 is also vegetarian. I’m making 2 meals currently (and praying they will eat it!) and just inhaled a bag of fruit pastilles…. Now eyeing up the malt loaf…. 🤣tell me to stop!!

No because I've done the same with the junk food here. I only have one autistic child but they've been awake since 5am and been stimming since they woke up and I'm pre menstrual. I'm hanging on by a thread at the moment.

Oh no!
Malt loaf is one of my favourite treats - go for it

(You'll appreciate it far more than anyone else in the house)

Topped off with butter?
Hats off to you for trying to cater to both differing tastes and restrictive diets. Not easy.

funbags3 · 18/11/2023 17:21

I love it with a bit of butter. Now I need to buy some.

Confusedx4 · 18/11/2023 17:35

Sending you a solid hug, you are doing amazingly! Do they go to sleep ok? I’m praying you get a good rest tonight! @Namenotavailableagain

Never a truer word spoken, I think malt loaf is a bit of a texture issue. I can eat it by the loaf though 🤤@StripeyDeckchair

Apologies, I used the ‘reply’ button to you all but didn’t realise you had to do the ‘quote’ thing.

They all cleared their plates!! And the Soreen has lived to see another day… unless the munchies call later….

Hats off to you OP, catering for my 1 autistic DC is a mission, 3 must involve superhuman patience. I'd say step away from the malt loaf, but only because I'm trying to lose weight. If you're happy with your weight then get the butter at the ready!

It’s definitely tricky at times! I am very unhappy with weight… but managed to leave the malt loaf alone… food is such a crutch… sometimes you need to just do what you need to do to get through the day don’t you!

Save it and make bread and butter pudding, if you have some eggs and milk

Ooof, have never been able to stomach bread and butter pudding… I’ll keep it simple and just butter it and eat it 😍

I love malt loaf sliced thickly and toasted , but it's like molten lava in the middle

Ooohhh I’ve never tried it toasted!!! I’m intrigued!

OP posts:

You are missing out !
Toast it under the grill ( or even better on the dying embers of a bbq ) .
If you do it in a toaster it can be a bit of a bugger to get back out but still doable.

It burns very easy so keep a eye on it.
Obviously spread very liberally with butter.

Confusedx4 · 18/11/2023 19:30

@ScottBakula I was thinking the toaster could be a bit disastrous… but I’m totally going to try the grill. Thank you so much!

You are welcome @Confusedx4 , but all joking aside please be careful, it can be very hot due to the melted sugar.

Enjoy and report back 😋
