Morgan Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Do you have a ‘sweet tooth’? What do you eat to satisfy it? I’ve always had one, but recently it’s become ridiculous. Edited March 30, 2021 by Morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantjambo Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Not really. I do enjoy my sweet stuff but I’m more a savoury type of guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianajones Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Having a sweet tooth is a curse. I've been trying to avoid it recently. Few bits of fudge is usually enough to deal with it as its pretty sugary sweet stuff. Anymore you just get scunnered and feel ill. Weirdly been tanning packets of cheese oatcakes when i do get an urge. Sometimes does enough to keep it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Love a sweetie - prefer chewy to boiled. Love a bit of chocolate. Love a custard slice or a millionaire's shortbread but you're safe with any other cake - I'll share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWJ Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I used to but definitely not as bad as it was, definitely prefer savoury now. Things like olives and goats cheese that I used to hate I really enjoy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, a hero on JKB pointed me (about a year ago) to Home Bargains where the original Lion's midget gems are available. Luckily, Home Bargains is a bit of a hike for me so my teeth have survived. Never tried the sherbet/gem combo, though. Even for me, that sounds a bit tingly.

The Gorgie Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Could sit and eat things like wine gums and haribos till I was sick. Love sour sweets too. Been on a diet, sort of, since the start of February so barely touched any sweets. A blow out isn't far away.

JudyJudyJudy Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Never been a sweetie person . I used to wonder why but I think it was due to not being spoilt as a kid and brought up in poverty in some respects so we didn’t have much for luxuries !!’ Awe .,,, “ we weren’t poor poor we just didn’t have anything “ ! So anyway I liked bread and savoury stuff due to that I think . Off bread now though but still like snacks like cheese and crackers or nachos Edited March 31, 2021 by JamesM48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
