And also for Date sandwiches. Brown bread, butter and dates. Nothing else.
Granny Bumble’s approach of eating a little of what you fancy is always good advice, although with mass produced factory food that should probably be tiny amounts.
This will be tried when the dates get back in the shop. Proper dates, not the force grown Tunisian/Spanish ones (They are still nice, but not as good as Arabian).
I’m surprised I haven’t thought of it myself, I’ve done a Fig butty.
Oh, by the way. My Garden Fig tree has actually produced some decent ones this year. They are about 2 inch diameter…..but how do I know when they are ripe? There are so few of them on the tree, the practice of sacrificial tests cannot be used.

I take all these warnings about what we shouldn’t eat with a large pinch of salt,usually followed up with a thickly-buttered scone and washed down with a lovely cup of strong black coffee.
My view exactly.
My Granny lived to be 102 eating a little of what she fancied.
IMO, that proves the old saying; “A little of what you fancy does you good.”
If anything’s likely to shorten your life it’s worrying constantly that you’re eating the wrong stuff .
Precisely. I shall continue to live by that old saying!
Worrying does no good to anyone.

Brown bread is only good for cucumber and Salmon butties.

Grill it untill it bubbles. Serve with a 15 ounce tin of whole tomatoes. Dip 7 or 8 rounds of WHITE bread in the toms. Be careful for the squirts, tom juice is hard to get off wallpaper.
Brown bread is only good for cucumber and Salmon butties. Or, the proper brown bread (Hovis) is great toasted with a slip of Marmite on (And full octane butter of course!)
All my opinions, based on eating the best of the crap!

SO correct. I’ve long held the belief that worrying about “Something” is more harmful than the “Something”. Be it food, health, money. Unless the “Something” is a large slimey Alien under your bed, of course.

Processed meat is full of all sorts of junk and additives, though.
For example, quite a lot of people (myself included) get a headache whenever they eat pork luncheon meat because of the sheer amount of nitrates in it.

(I don’t eat like this all the time, this would be a in-betweeny snack). For example tonights dinner was a small Fillet Steak of about 7 ounces, Jacket Spuds, 4 different Veg. Mustard.
For a sweet, I had a packet of Fig Rolls.

Aye. “Formed from selected cuts”. We all know where theyre selected from!
And then there’s mechanically recovered meat.
Bon Appetit! 😎

That packet “ham” you get to put in sandwiches is disgusting, slimy stuff. I like proper ham but won’t touch that processed crap.
Agreed Comet.:)
