My greatest weakness is peanuts and Cadbury's Whole Nut chocolate? What is yours?

Dark chocolate, especially with hazelnuts or fruit and nuts.

Pistachios

Cashew nuts. I buy large bags and can't help but laugh when it has a reseal tab. Not going to happen! They are good for you but very high in calories unfortunately

Impatience.

Books. I have so many and keep adding to them. There may not be enough room for me soon in my flat.

Lurpak (or Tesco or Aldi equivalent) very thick on a crust (knobby) end of bread.

Wine, any colour and chocolate 😁

Chocolate and cake. Cadbury's Twirl and Asda's Jaffa Cake Gateau are my favourites

sodapop Thu 16-Mar-23 20:31:46

Dark chocolate and gin for me.

My grandchildren are my greatest weaknesses

Playing stupid word games on the computer

Milk. I have realised that if I have to do without tea for any length of time, what I'm missing is the milk, not the tea. I drink cupfuls of the stuff at bedtime and often between meals.

Simple pleasure!

Apart from cream teas and I prefer apricot jam - it has to be books and plants :

I could take a supermarket trolley to Waterstones .
I love plant nurseries .
Another weakness - browsing in charity shops for bargain clothes especially dresses .

I try not to indulge too often but I adore those fab chocolates from Lindor and now which is worse for me you can select your own flavours and put them in a box, size and amount exactly to your wishes. I don't buy them every week or I'd be the size of a house - they are very difficult to resist.

SachaMac Fri 17-Mar-23 10:22:02

Chocolate in any shape or form, I can’t have it in the house, if it’s there I just can’t resist it.

Love Raw peanut butter cups (encased in vegan chocolate) - and their caramel choc bars - arrive regularly through the letter box since I said I liked them - wonderful. I really admire those that can limit themselves to one chocolate a day. I'm a 'one with every cup of tea' person.

Cheese.

I try to restrict myself to a piece of 'real' cheese from the cheesemonger (both Glasgow and Edinburgh are fortunate to have both IJ Mellis and George Mewes) have as an occasional treat. I do, however, have a big thing for cheese on toast for which the real cheese would be an expensive extravagance. The big blocks of "Essential Cheddar" from Waitrose are ideal for this.

Oh, and yes Ashcombe, olives! I can polish of a complementary plate of them in seconds. I do remember Mrs Nicholson, one of my primary school teachers, telling us that olives were a grown-up taste and we probably wouldn't like them. That Christmas we went to visit parental friends who were a bit posher than us and they had dishes of olives out. Never having been one to be told what I would or wouldn't like, I tried one. And another. And a third.. Before long I'd scoffed that plateful and a couple of others.

Chocolate, tea and handbags.
