Something (to eat) that you hardly ever buy, because you know you’ll only make a pig of yourself?

Thought inspired by the fact that I just bought a packet of Garibaldi biscuits - I buy them maybe twice a year.

Another is blackcurrant jelly cubes, which I just eat. Twice a year if that.

(People with iron self control who have no idea what I’m talking about, need not reply, thank you!)

Scottish tablet is a delicious sort of crystallised fudge, creamy condensed milk taste

G0reenGran78, your favourite things sound like mine. So hard to resist...
Well done on your weight loss!

Mayisay, you have reminded me that my mother could not eat chocolate as it triggered her migraines and she didn’t like it very much any way. However, she loved Fry’s Chocolate Cream bars. Thank you for reminding me of my dear, now departed, mum.

This is a pretty evil thread. I now have a craving for what everyone else has mentioned. I’ve been on a cut down for nearly three weeks now and it’s killing me.

Chocolate peanuts. What I wouldn’t give...

Good job there aren’t any in the house.

Christmas pudding - I love it, DH loathes it, so the net result is that I don't buy it.

But when next I do, I shall certainly make a pig of myself eating it.

Mascarpone and clotted cream.

Maltesers and bags of Crawford's flavoured savouries.

Pork scratchings (proper ones, not those awful puffed up snacks). Once I start I'm completely unable to stop until they've all gone...?

Condensed Milk and a teaspoon - major comforter. Had to put one back on the shelf the other day. Felt very righteous.

St. Agur soft blue cheese in a tub
Maltesers
Fruitellas
I used to be very fond on Pringles until I read that they were so full of fat that if you lit one it would burn like a candle. It does!

Modompodom Tue 19-Jul-22 15:19:51

Haribo Jelly Babies. They have to be Haribos!!!

singingnutty Tue 19-Jul-22 15:41:04

Chocolate bars. Can’t just eat two squares.

singingnutty Tue 19-Jul-22 15:43:42

Just read up the thread. Scottish tablet - oh YES!!

Grannyshouse Tue 19-Jul-22 15:49:21

Tunnocks tea cakes. I haven’t really got a sweet tooth. Don’t eat cakes or biscuits, chocolate or sweets but love these

Happygirl79 Tue 19-Jul-22 16:01:39

Crusty bread
Any cheese
Pizza

Mamma66 Tue 19-Jul-22 16:14:02

I am totally and completely immune to biscuits and only buy them if we are expecting guests. The one exception is Oreo’s. I buy them once or twice a year smileonly as I love them and cannot resist

Antonia Tue 19-Jul-22 16:22:55

Cornetto ice creams.

Kim19 Tue 19-Jul-22 16:31:33

Cafe Noir biscuits are my downfall. Kinda 'glad' they're less easily obtainable nowadays.

Doodledog Tue 19-Jul-22 16:32:40

Cornetto ice creams.

Any ice cream. If it's made with actual cream - I'm less keen on the chemical stuff, but any port in a storm grin. I really have to put off opening a tub of Haagen Dazs, as I know I will eat the lot in a couple of sittings.

Cabbie21 Tue 19-Jul-22 16:55:10

Maltesers.
Pringles
Christmas pudding.

harrysgran Tue 19-Jul-22 17:18:02

I am exactly the same with Christmas Pudding, and each year I promise myself I will only have a small piece, well that has not worked as yet.
I also cannot have salted peanuts in the house or Picnic bars.
I have no self control with these items.
