CycleChat Investigates - Gluttony

[Bazzer]

When ever i go to B&Q there is a burger van there, they make the best burgers in North London, I cannot not buy one when i visit.🍔

Similarly when I get a ticket for Old Trafford. Having a wife and offspring who are vegetarian, the burger van is an indulgence.

Mints I do have to try to stay away from, otherwise I eat them one after another until the tubes are finished, I feel sick or I have temporarily wrecked my taste buds.

BTW - Iceland are selling 1kg boxes of Scottish shortbread for £3

I got a box - another of my Xmas weaknesses

Ok, you need to open them & report back with a yumminess rating. Do it now - you know you want to...

If I opened them before Xmas, Mrs V would ensure that not only my stocking would be hanging from the fireplace by a rusty nail

However - I think they are called Pattersons

Morrisons are charging £3 for a box half the size

Well, clearly a popular talking point among the CC massive. 4 pages, perhaps the most popular of the CC Investigates series so far.

But still no cheese

Take it up with Shaun. Theres a limit to how many choices I could have on a poll, so I had to restrict myself to the mainstream stuff, not the weird perverts snack food

Clearly a solicitor in our midst.

Scones, I got through 30 in a 36 hour period once, any type I am not fussy.

Cakes and chocolate are my downfall. I read a book recently about the US food industry and about weight loss. In the '60/70's they discovered what is termed 'hyperpalatability' - I guess you could call it scrumminess. They realised salt, fat, and sugar were very 'moreish' and by layering these elements they could create foods that people craved.

The result of this (and also cheaper automated manufacturing processes) is that a donut isn't just a donut anymore, it is a creme filled, candy covered, chocolate dipped donut. The kind of cake you would only get at a posh wedding reception during my childhood is now £1.50 In Asda.

I don't even like mince pies but I will be eating some Costco ones over Christmas because they are delicious. And probably getting a tray of pastries while I'm there. The Costco scones are also a favourite.

 

[Drago]

I go to Costco and eat the free mince pies at the sample table. I dont buy then, just eat the freebies.

I like all of the things listed. Unfortunately due to gastric reflux cannot eat most of them. Still experimenting but failures are painful. Last try was venison burgers but not an experience to repeat. Strangely yoghurt is ok and fortunately I like it.

Jelly babies.If you’ll pardon the expression-never bonked when out cycling.Wink wink nudge nudge nudge.
