Do gherkins count as one of your five a day?

[mrsruffallo]

They are cucumbers after all

probably not if it's just a slice in a Quarter Pounder :o

Depends how many you eat!

They are free on Weightwatchers.

At least a couple of big ones a day
I am not one for cornichons or whatever they are called

With or without kebab?

5 a day is pretty much made up anyway, so I'll say yes, if you eat a sufficient volume.

You'll smell though.

Without kebab. Kebabs in this house are eaten with red cabbage and chilli sauce ONLY

5 a day does seem pretty random . I guess an handful of chopped gherkin would do it then?

I always have a slice of lemon in my G&T,

Well if things like yoghurt count then i don't see why gherkins shouldn't.

I count chocolate (made from beans, which must be a vegetable, right?)

Yoghurt? How is yoghurt a fruit or vegetable?

you know, like strawberry yoghurt.

Lentils count as one of your 5 a day too

There would have to be a lot of strawberries in that yoghurt though shurely?

I always count chocolate orange as one of my five a day so I think a gherkin or two is definitely OK.

Although if chocolate is also a portion, does that make a chocolate orange two portions?? Wow I'm doing better than I thought!

Bounty bars are two / five as they are chocolate beans and coconut fruit.

My head is a happy place when I use this logic

Think it's a glass and a half in every pound, isn't it?

Haven't been on here for a while and I am constantly distracted by Marco Pierre White suggesting I change my meat

Cola says it's made with vegetable extracts so that counts too. Prior to that i hadn't realised sugar cane was a vegetable. You live and learn.

Does it have to be 5 different fruit/veg?
