Ooh! Well done! 🙂 Looks delicious! Voted 🙂

Good luck, you're doing well!
 
Brilliant thanks
 
Mmmmm...got my vote Riri. Good luck!😛
 
Brilliant thanks. The comms team from the Cardiff branch of Diabetes UK emailed me today and they want to do a small feature on me in my local newspapers. What have I done!!!!!
 
ooh, just seen this, it looks lovely.Have cast my vote for it.
 
Great that this is getting coverage. As a girly teenager I dreamt of Vogue and Marie Clare. As an ageing 49 year old I'll take the front cover of Balance!! Lol Thanks for the continuing votes peeps
 
Given that yours is the only dish on there that could even remotely be considered lower carbohydrate, got my vote. What cretin at DUK thinks a bowl of noodles with 62g of carbs in it is an appropriate dietary choice for someone who can't process carbohydrates?
 
My sister saw this on a local timeline tonight - my phones been red hot ever since, Lol Hadn't realised they haven't published the link - that's our Cambrian News for you !!
 
I voted for yours Riri, it looks genuinely scrummy. Fingers crossed 🙂

I have to say though the three other finalist dishes look decidedly unpleasant, I love avocado but can see no earthly reason to spoil that with banana (the Devils fruit) 😱

I'd swap those around - avocados are the devil's fruit! 😱 Doesn't even taste like one! Like blooming olives! But I digress...looks like the other contestants haven't garnered much support...

Olives are delicious, in fact tomatoes, avocado and olives are my only concessions in the world of fruit...aside from the potentially twin evils of the avocado/banana splicing, there's a giant garibaldi and chicken noodles. I'm not feeling the love there. Riri's is the only one I'd contemplate 🙂
 
when do the results come out? I voted - in total agreement, how on earth did they choose the other recipes??
 
I may be wrong but possibly they didn't get many submissions? Just been interviewed by Radio Cymru - I'm a fluent Welsh speaker but I do speak a bit of 'Wenglish'!!! I drew the line at trying to say carbohydrates and carb counting in Welsh - lol. Thanks for the support all.
 
What made me cringe the most was the dreadful biscuit thing, where it's suggested you could make it lower-fat and healthier by using a banana instead of some of the butter. 😱
