Had chips peas and gravy from chippy other day and struggled,just glad not in USA even bigger,x
When my daughters were young we used to buy fish chips & peas from the chippy every Friday evening! As too did my parents do for me & my brothers when we took our holidays with my grandparents in good ol' Skeggy yonks ago!😛:D
 
As an add on~ my friends & I would buy a tube of Toffo's every single day on our way home from school!😛:(

Heard that saying years ago wirralass just never followed it wish I had now but better late than never,only problem with rusk I had to eat a box if 18 at a time mashed up like baby food,or crushed up into ice cream is nice as well,x
Tho I liked rusks, I never went to those extremes Heath. The mention of rusks tho gives me a little hankering for one or two!😛:(
 
Basically eat the same now as pre diagnosis give or take a few tweaks.

Never got told what to eat, doubt as a young man I'd take any notice anyway, told how to count carbohydrates and that's about it.

If I could only have 1 or 2 I would still be buying them,would end up eating them all,x
 
Before diagnosis - porridge and wholemeal bread and baking with wholemeal flour and margarine, vegetable oils and spreads lots of veges of all sorts, lots of fruit, avoiding fats at all costs, Only a few eggs each week, no red meat, no pork of any kind, only dry as dust chicken breast - I took the diet sheets into the garden and burnt them a few days after diagnosis.
