How about a 'virtual' shop that's open 24 x 7 that stocks healthy food & meals for people who have diabetes - what do you think? Would you like to contribute your own ideas as to what you would like from this shop? ie: Your own ready meal ideas - take aways - desserts - bread - salads - snacks etc.

I'll start off with my homemade meal of roast chicken breast - broccoli - cauliflower - a few slices of carrots - 1 baby new potato - and a little gravy.

Oh yes butties - with the crusts cut off - this lowers the carbs even more! Now for suggestions what to fill those butties with - great idea, thanks Northie x

No-carb snacks - especially something that goes with a cuppa to replace a biscuit. I'm sick of cheese!:confused:🙂

Wl...good idea...low carb virtual shop...diabetic fast food ...the first of it's kind...it has to have a name?...surely:D:D:D
 
Don't forget nuts measured into little one ounce packets so I don't eat the lot in one go! Don't bother selling pistachios, I'm allergic. 😉
 
Come on folks - doesnt anyone have any more ideas please? Thought you'd be queuing up with loads of em from your own menu's🙂 Don't forget - although this is a virtual shop - it's aim is to stock real life low carb food 😛
Thanks a bunch🙂 x

Oh I just nip into Mike's Allygus gaff for virtual treats WL and I don't need to be deprived! :D

I'd like to see snack/lunch boxes with chunks of chicken tikka and a raita dip. Some carrot sticks and a nice piece of Blacksticks blue cheese/1 Tuc biscuit. A little packet of pork scratchings and a salted caramel protein bar for pud...and 3 strawberries already dipped in dark Belgian chocolate 😛 and a sugar free cream soda drink!
 
Snacks: Good quality ham wrapped around a Babybel, Jacob's multi seeded crackers spread with homemade mackerel pate or soft cheese. Slice of Burgen with Whole Earth Crunchy Peanut Butter. Pistachios (sorry @Ditto ) they take so long to shell you don't tend to eat as many as you would,say, salted peanuts. And of course we can't forget Green and Blacks 85% chocolate.
Main meals: A nice lean steak, medium rare, with a pepper sauce, home made ratoutueille, roast all veg first it's delicious, peas and carrots.
I make all my meals from scratch as I love cooking especially spicy foods, so a nice curry served with either a small portion of Basmati or cauli rice and a chapatti, much lower in carbs, and calories than a naan.
 
Even cafe owners need a lunch, so how about a baguette filled with garlic sausage, lettuce, thinly sliced radish and mayo?
 
In Tesco Stretford yesterday and they've got tiny packets of nuts and bits of rich dark chocolate! What a good idea. We were beaten to it by Tesco. :D
 
Omelette wraps. Saw some in a Tesco Express near London, but never seen them anywhere else. I can supply low carb cakes & puddings.

Fantastic scrummy food there eggyg - looks like a few tables & chairs should be installed here for those who want to *Sit & Taste* What time did you say dinner is this evening?😛
 
I'll do the omelette wraps (I've become a pro 😉) so Mark can fully concentrate on the puds! Mark I would like brownies please :D x
