a) Never eat any dessert again

or

b) Never eat any meat/fish ever again?

Dilemma of the day!

What about some fresh English asparagus dripping with butter or Hollandaise Jeni? Doesn't that do it for you?

Poisonous!

None for you then anagram grin

Don't eat meat or fish, and don't really care for puddings that much. Now if, in place of pudding, you were to substitute wine..

Not me! I don't have an aversion to green food! (Unless it's mouldy, of course)

I'd hate to live without meat or fish and, could maybe just about cope without dessert but, as our eldest granddaughter says, if nobody sees, it doesn't matter! grin

Asparagus with butter and lemon perhaps, (not hollandaise, I have an egg yolk allergy!)

I rarely eat dessert and I cook them only when I have guests. However, I do eat lots of fruit but not immediately after a main meal so I don't think that counts. I was a vegetarian for a year or so but missed fish so much I went back to eating it. I do eat meat but eat far more fish. I think the human body is geared up to be omnivorous, i.e. to eat a mixture of animal and vegetable foods. I suspect it is not especially geared up to eating chocolate gâteau, ice cream, tiramisu, crêpe suzette and sticky toffee pudding.

I can't think about this one - there are too many things I can't eat already!

Ella46 Wed 20-Jun-12 15:36:49

Me too Alie, I can eat and drink things but only once! I G&T/glass of wine, a week!

I love dessert, but I don't think I could do without meat or fish, so how about a dispensation for dessert on Sundays only,which is very often what I do anyway.
