Kaylz, I spent £5 on a Paleo cocoa granola once. It was nice to try it but I may not do it again! Glad I tried it tho.

I use Elmlea cream and it lasts weeks, even after it’s open. No good if it interferes with carb response but it is a lower fat cream.

Those pork dishes look very appetising I must say!

I’m addicted to blue cheese too and Cornish cruncher cheese made with balsamic onions! Yum

They were @Amigo.
I have found a place here that sells imported blue cheese and it is extremely strong, wonderfully so.
Not prepacked but sold loose.
I buy it in bulk lol
Have to put it in airtight containers because everytime I open the fridge door the aroma wafts into the kitchen and I am forced to have a nibble or two, hehe🙄
My Chinese friends look at it in horror which I find amusing when you consider some of the weird things they eat.
Scorpions on skewers for example.

Oh yes the scorpions on skewers! I recoiled in horror one night passing a restaurant in HK and seeing rows of little dead birds in the window lined up on skewers. Absolutely gross! 😱

Yes it is and the kids chomp away on them as our kids would on an icelolly for examples. Positively gross. There is a street in Beijing, behind Wafujing Street, where they sell these "wonderful" delights which include, deep fried 1 day old chicks, sparrows, various pupae, locusts and insects all on skewers.
