It's cheaper to be fat!
I've just been to Tesco's to grab a quick something for my piece (Lunch to you Englanders and posh birds fi Bearsd'n!), a mixed fresh fruit salad and two o' them wee fruit smoothie things came to £4.87 , I could have got a tin of Coke, a mince pie, a packet of crisps and a Heart attack for about £2.50, where's the encouragement to eat healthily...............FFS
Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"

aye, welcome to my hell.
basically its cheaper to fill food full of chemicals, additives and s**t than it is is to actually put anything real in.
have look at the ingredients list for a mcdonalds strawberry milkshake for example... it was printed in a book called "fast food nation" and spread over 3 pages
food science has a lot to answer for

I had a battered Mars Bar on my last jaunt to Glesgae. First Bite was lovely, by the third bite, it was in the bin!
Sympathies to those with this problem; Miss Sinister is obsessed with healthy food (I have no idea how she copes with my diet!), and regularly spends £silly on food. All this chatter about 'Obese Britain' is just a smoke-screen, because the administration will never try and push the big food-producing corporations around, eh?

My ExGF now Best Mate is on a health kick at the moment - do what she does - buy a juicer, buy fresh fruit / veggies every other day and make your own smoothy thing - they are very nice in facttimsinister wrote:I had a battered Mars Bar on my last jaunt to Glesgae.

...and mine! The organic/healthy/natural/veggie supermarket chain called WholeFoods here in the States has been dubbed "Whole Paycheck" because of it - and it's not really much of an exaggeration. It's disgusting. All the blab about Americans being the fattest folks on earth...well, the average Joe and his family over here probably can't *afford* to eat anywhere but sodding McDonald's! Quality healthy food costs an arm and a leg!

You can't go wrong with beans on toast. And pilchards. Or pitta bread if you're feeling adventurous. Washed down with a few can's of Guinness. It's as good as a three course meal.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

The solution is very simple.
Go to the McDonald's, just eat a bag of small fries and have a diet coke every day. If you remain lardy on that, you're a medical miracle!

Mmmm chippy sauce, a delicacy limited to the east coast of Scotland, where we have a more discerning palate . Basically Gold Star brown sauce watered down with vinegar. They sell it in lemonade bottles in Edinburgh chippys you know (well the good ones anyway) You tried asking for "salt an sauce" in a Glasgow chippy? You'd get run out of town!jande wrote:Did you have sauce with it or is that just an east coast thing?

What about scraps those bits of batter than would appear to have fallen of the fish?
Wife introduced me to that in Leeds-is it widespread?

I didn't think you needed to 'water down' and Gold Star products with vinegar DR they're pretty tart to begin with
I do like a chip or 98 with lashings of Gold Star Red Sauce

oooooh scraps.. now that does take me back..
Mind you, the more confusing issue with chip shops in Bolton was wtf a "barm cake" was...
Girl behind counter of one chip shop had to show me wtf it was as she didn't know any other name for it..
When I saw it I realised it was a roll/butty.. I was quite disappointed.. barm cake sounded proper exotic..
