Small Pleasures

I think not either..... but it goes to show what I was saying about the chocolate we think of as chocolate having lots of other nasties making the actual 'chocolate' part negligable. I agree with Melanie about the Galaxy though! If I were to fancy a bar of milk choc, that is what I would have - it's so creamy and meltingly smooth!

I guess I am very lucky not having a particularly sweet tooth. If I crave anything it is more likely to be a curry, or crisps, or cheese or, as at the moment for some strange reason, sugar snap peas!! I can't stop eating them. I think it's the crunch - just eat them like sweets straight out of the bag! And no, before any of you wonder, my 'cravings' are not unusual or a symptom of anything impending! I have always had weird food fads, even as a child, and crave all sorts of weird and wonderful foods all the time! I went through a fried egg on bread and butter smothered with vinegar phase when I was about 4 - ate it every day for about two weeks! I can remember the feeling of really craving it too (how did I even come up with that? More to the point, why did my mother give it to me????). I used to make salad cream and mint sauce sandwiches, or baked bean and curry paste sandwiches too! Sprinkling lashings of white pepper into a bag of ready salted crisps was also a bit of a phase..... how have I got this far without a stomach ulcer???!! Goodness knows! I eat a lot more 'normally' these days.

I know Melanie, I know - gross is the word! I don't know about gravy on fish.... I'd consider it!

My only real food 'shame' of late is a bowl of instant curry flavour noodles smothered in a small tin of Homepride curry sauce! Sometimes, on the very odd occasion, it just hits the spot...... If I'm feeling a little more 'cheffy' (lol) I might add some quartered hard boiled eggs to the curry sauce......
