I ate a whole pack of jelly cubes ?

I have noticed the jelly blocks have gone a whole lot smaller.
Unlike the cost.

When I was a young child I was told by my mother that eating jelly cubes would give you worms. I should point out that sweets were still on ration at the time, and jelly for parties hard to get hold of. Well it did serve as a deterrent.

*It's a long, long time since I ate jelly in any form. But... I recently bought two bars of dark chocolate to give to a neighbour, in return for a favour. Whoops... I've eaten them!!

Very wise, because once that box is opened.....!

lemongrove, Maltesers don’t last long when I’m anywhere near! Just as well they’re usually confined to twice a year - a big box from dh at Christmas and on my birthday.

GS2 is a fussy eater but does like orange jelly cubes.

I’ve been using the glass pudding pots from ready made creme caramel to make little trifles and jellies, thinking it a good way to keep portions small. It seems GS1 and grandad have been eating two or three at a time! Back to the drawing board!

Haha?
That’s the problem with ‘fun sized’ things....they just aren’t much fun.

witzend if that’s the worst thing you ever do, wolfing down jelly cubes then you are guaranteed a place in Heaven ?
I have a more serious Malteser habit.?

I suspect that was probably the object of the exercise Rowantree!

Oooh. I love jelly in any form. I wolfed a whole bag of jelly babies last week in secret. I'm not keen on knowing it derives from boiled bones though.

I used to love the chewyness of jelly cubes but haven't had any since the early 70s.

If you are an omnivore, my feeling is that it's right to use up all the bits of the animal, including offal, but now I'm vegetarian I won't eat jelly cubes.

Animal skins, bones, chicken feet and connective tissues etc just don't appeal to me!

Kamiso I tried doing that as well, to cut our lockdown chocolate habit in the evening ?

We have lots of those little pots so I tried making a variety of jelly/fruit, pretend trifles, custards, etc. We'd end up having one of each - which was very nice but not the point of the exercise ?

Haha haven't done that for years. DDs often make floppy jelly for parties and messy play and use as sea or grass for games for the littlies .

I can easily eat a packet of jelly cubes, just as well I don't buy them often. If they are in the cupboard and I fancy something sweet I can't resist them. Fortunately (or unfortunately, maybe) OH doesn't like the cubes so I have to finish them myself. Any flavour will do except strawberry.

Jelly cubes, yum!

I ate a packet of foam lobsters last night all to myself, as I’m home alone this weekend. I’d bought them for my little GD (her parents allow her this treat) but she couldn’t come and visit as she’s a close Covid contact and is isolating. ? I’ve got a fridge full of food for them which I’m having to eat myself but the lobsters seemed the most important item to eat.

Reminds me of when I was a child and we had sweets once a week when mum went shopping. In between she would sometimes let us have a tablet of jelly cubes to eat which we loved.

I think I would wobble even more if I ate jelly cubes - they are tasty though - Hmmm!

I’ll have the strawberry one…..to save you from yourself ?. Love jelly.

You will be bunged up to the eyeballs!

I eat just one square of good quality dark chocolate a day, it’s supposed to be good for you. I enjoy it and couldn’t possibly eat anymore than that. Good job too!
