Going to teach my self to like Burgen

[pat.y]

Blood glucose before lunch 4.00.
Try sardines on Burgen toast, 2 hours after lunch 6.5.
Don't like it much but better than no bread at all.

 

[Northerner]

Hope you develop a taste for it Pat, I love it! 🙂

 

[Mark Parrott]

I find it works better with some things than others.

 

[Flower]

I hope you can grow to love it Pat, it took me one bite! 🙂 I have just discovered that Iceland sell it having walked all over town to source some. Hooray!

 

[KookyCat]

Yuk, I tried to love it but I just can't stand it, don't know why because I love me a seed (practically live off nuts and sunflower seeds). It's baffling but I just can't do it .

Hope you get on with it Pat.y, if not Llidl do a nice protein roll thing that's low carb too 🙂

I used to eat it before diagnosis. I've always loved it. However, I've found through testing that I can still only handle one slice, so no bacon sarnie in the morning for me

 

[Lynn Davies]

Bob- the lidl rolls are 11-12 carbs each and very large. I have one with bacon every Sunday for breakfast. Yummmmmm!

 

[grovesy]

I have a bacon sarnie with the bread thins.

 

[Lynn Davies]

They're a bit too carbie for me grovesy. The raised my BG into the teens!😱

 

[khskel]

Burgen for me breakfast and lunch

 

[pottersusan]

After a few months on a gluten free diet, Burgen is like manna from heaven.( Gluten free bread is seriously strange and rather nasty.)

Not one near me unfortunately - Sainsbury's, Tesco, Waitrose, even Aldi, but no Lidl...

 

[pat.y]

Our Lidl is horrible I try and avoid it.

 

[Bloden]

Burgen has grown on me...I found it ridiculously seedy at first (and I loooove seeds). Toasted, it's hilariously crunchy to the point that it kills any breakfast conversation (can't hear what anyone's saying). Good luck, Pat!😛

 

[Mark Parrott]

Definitely best toasted.🙂

 

[Curly grandma]

Is it true that those huge Lidl rolls are only 11-12 g carb each???? I had one for tea last night and felt I shouldn't be eating it as was so large. BG last night 7.6 so not too high.

 

[Lynn Davies]

Yes it is true Curly grandma - so lush and one is more than enough 😎
