My other half has been obliged to eat all sorts of 'delicacies' over the years in Malaysia. When a group came over here we took them to a fish and chip restaurant. First they are not really used to eating a meal like us, they usually have lots of small dishes to dip into. Secondly he insisted they have mushy peas, the guy who served us was a friend of our son's and he played up to it, saying it was a local delicacy and given to highly honoured guests in all the best places :D

This talk of 'foreign' delicacies reminds me of being in Crete last year. Went to lovely Taverna & the food was outstanding. There was another English family there, who were disappointed with the lack of British food on the menu, so ordered things that were as close to British that they could find (lamb chops & chips I think it was), then demanded they had ketchup too!🙄

Goodness me ~ what happened to the quote " When in Rome...........?"
 
I am willing to try anything, even if I don't like the look of it. Tried whelks once. Absolutely disgusting! Though I bet Vince has chomped through a few (maybe?):D

Wonderful stuff :D
I think I have said this previously. My Chinese friends eat chicken feet, scorpions and all sorts of wonderful concoctions but they wil not eat Dark Chocolate or Cheese.
So, I am going to melt some chocolate and dip some blue cheese in it to coat it and tell them it is a famous UK delicacy and I will highly offended if they don't eat it.:D


editted typos as usual lol

Again, a slight rise between breakfast & lunch? Is it because the Levemir is not quite right? Do I need to split the dose up? My BS is usually higher in the first half of the day & lower towards the latter half of the day! But, I don’t always get up & eat at the same time or eat dinner at the same time either! So, that COULD be problematic too! There’s some slight variations but, usually eat lunch at the same time every day.

12:00 (BS 12.4) 29 units Levemir & all other meds. Not unduly worried as Levemir & metaformin have only now been taken: too early to take before!
