Things I cannot have in the cupboard

Oh I love peanut butter Soutra and could never have a jar in the house. I am such a pig and would eat it straight from the jar. Yummy.

I am not really a sweet person and always go for crisps and savouries myself. Unfortunately Mr G is one of those people who can eat anything (and boy does he eat anything) and never gains an ounce of weight. Grrrrr. If he goes shopping he always comes back with the very things I shouldn't eat. Pork pies and mini sausage rolls are his particular favourites.

Chocolate, I can't be alone. When I have no almond chocolate I eat the plain, then I'm on to nutella, but I do draw the line at that revolting cooking chocolate. If I want to bake a recipe calling for chocolate, it has to be bought on the day!

This is very recent, I was fine until I started to cut back on sugar a couple of months ago.

I never have jam , peanut butter or chocolate spread in the cupboard as I have been known to eat them straight from the jars. Biscuits and cake however I don't bother with .

Peanut butter is my downfall too .I buy it because DGD likes it but every time I offer it she says no thank you so I just HAVE to eat it straight from the jar ! Walnuts are the same but at least they are healthy I think.(In moderation !! )

Nutella, or the equivalent chocolate spread! Yucky and yummy.

Sweets and chocolates I can leave alone no problem (I still have two and a half boxes in the fridge from Christmas and my birthday in March) but crisps draw me like a magnet!

Cheeselets.

I would never have peanut butter in the house. It is the only thing which makes me physically sick. I cannot even wash the jar out.
The things I dare not give house room to are any form of cakes or chocolate. I have to finish them even if I have already had too much. I am an absolute pig !

Only Maltesers, my absloute downfall.

absolute, that should read.

Oh and cherry cake.

Soutra you sound like the very hungry caterpillar.

Had a huge jar of Nutella which I bought in France. I looked at it longingly for months, then gave it to DD for DGS, felt very pious as I love it. Now looking slaveringly at a tin of caramel, left over when I made banoffee pie!!!

Chocolate spread ugh ! peanut butter should only be eaten on toast I have had a jar for a few weeks now as I have to 'fancy it'

Wine gums however are a different matter. There's a law that says they have to be eaten in one go.......isn't there ??

Does the 'frig count as a cupboard? My passion of the moment is for Waitrose Essential choc ices. They are just enough, I can't leave them alone will I ever be thin again?, and they are only £1 for eight!

Cashew nuts, plain, not roasted or salted, I love `em! Also Cathedral City Baked Bites, Mmmmmm!!

Bit of a contradiction there, Lona!

Marzipan - especially chocolate covered marzipan

Glad to read that I am not alone! I made a chocolate owl cake for my granddaughter and managed to work my way through the leftover white and milk chocolate buttons, cadbury flake, chocolate finger biscuits and marzipan. Groan! Then I told my husband that I didn't want much tea as I had a late lunch. Even naughtier!

Cake. Biscuits. Chocolate.
Really nice bread.

Marshmallows - only about 8 used in cupcakes so why are there none left?

Flakes, which I keep in the freezer as they crumble better for puddings etc, except there are never any there - must be mice - can mice get into freezers?

Jelly bellys which I buy huge bags of in USA then eat them far too quickly when home. I also buy them here if they are on offer. As I have two sons in USA, I buy them too often for the waistline.

Marzipan for me too, especially the kind sold for covering cakes. Kit kats straight from the fridge, peanut butter - crunchy kind. Cheese especially Tickler, it is too yummy. Yes and the chocolate fingers I can eat a handful at a time.

I love peanut butter and eat great spoonfuls of it straight from the jar. I keep it in because my GS (who lives here) likes it.

Then this afternoon I decided to treat myself to some Werthers Originals. I decided to buy the packet rather than the tube though I usually have the tube because there are less sweets in it (if you see what I mean).

DH went to the supermarket and came back with TWO packets because Waitrose were doing two for £2 instead of £1.25 a single pack. I bet I've eaten them all by the weekend!

I've tried explaining to him about this kind of thing before but he doesn't get it.
