If you could remove the calories from one food

[Ribbit]

If you could remove the calories from one food, so you could eat it any time and as much of it as you liked forever... what food would you choose.

I'd choose pizza. I'd be sick if I ate too much chocolate... but there's just no such thing as too much pizza :pizza:

I'm with you Ribbit, pizza, I love it :D

Moby, I just knew yours...... :hihi:

Ooooh, there are millions... so you don't want to drink too much :no: ... much better to share it amongst your pals instead :yes: :lol:

All the C's!! Chocs, cakes, chips and cookies!!!!

I'm on the Atkins diet so I can eat low carb chocs it's just that they are so blooming expensive £1.30 for a pack of low carb rolos!!! Still, they ARE yummy!

I find it very hard to bake for my family and not eat the results. I dream about gingerbread men!!!

So to help me drink it is it party night at Moby Towers tonight?** The batch I have at the moment just about knocks my head off so we'd have a good time.** ;)** :drunk:


:o I missed that invitation! Can we make it tonight instead... please... I'll bring my own tankard (or two pint measuring jug :lol: ). And I've got some flake moments left.

I ate all the pizza though :pizza: :blush:

Domeda. Gambian dish - lamb cooked in peanut butter and tomato puree with onion, chilli, and a stock cube. Served with cous cous! :unsure: Or maybe I'd be a greedy pig and want no calories in just about everything I shouldn't eat too much of too often.

yep, same as that :lol:

[Mr Ribbit]

Hey there Rosie, :)

That sounds fascinating. Have you a recipe you could post here? :notworthy: :flowers:

Maybe start a new thread in the Food section? :chef: That would be really interesting! :)

We're vegetarian but I'm sure other members would love to try that. We would probably try it use Quorn as a substitute to the lamb. :notworthy:

My husband does the Gambian cooking, since he's Gambian. I do the rest - Nigerian, Italian, Greek, Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Thai ..... bangers and mash and whatever! Will ask him to give me the recipe....but then I might have to do more cooking at home ;) oo-er! Do I really want to do that when he does most of it? Can't talk him into the ironing though! I hate ironing! Can we ban that as well as NFH? Start a Dare To Go Wrinkly campaign (not the anti-cosmetic surgery type.) :ban:

Wow, sounds like you could start your own cooking web-site! I lurve food. :lol: If you could get that recipe that'd be appreciated (no pressure of course, honestly. :blush: ) :notworthy:

[edit] How calorific do you think Domeda is? :unsure: :blush:

inside my skinny carcass is a fat cow trying to get out :lol: the only time i ever managed to put on weight (apart from being pregnant) was when "cheese ums" pringles were available, over 2000 calories in a pot :bigeyes: . when i was working i couldnt be bothered to cook, my son ate at after-school club and i used to have 2 pots of pringles and a packet of cheddars with danish blue cheese and colslaw, washed down with a couple of cans of (full fat) coke, every evening. put on 10 pounds in as many weeks, ended up 2 and half stone heavier, from a 10 to a 14 in less than 2 months :thumbs: first time i'd ever had anything that even slightly resembled boobs :blush: then they stopped selling them and bang went my 4000 calorie snack :cry: they were probably my most favorite food ever

[Mr Ribbit]

Awww, poor BM.

I hate it when a favourite food or product just disappears off the shelves. Why do they do that? :cry:

Maybe we should start a Cheese 'Ums petition for you BM. :thumbs:

I've just realised, I haven't said what I'd have if there were no calories in them. Pizza! All the way. :pizza:

mr ribbit B)

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

yeah, BRING BACK CHEESE UMS, BRING BACK CHEESE UMS!!! :thumbs:

[Mr Ribbit]

Ahh, Cheese Um's,

One of the great losses to the crisp world known to date. :cry:

I've been to the Pringles site and followed all the links. You can actually ask for Cheese Um's to come back in their feedback questionaire. If you want to do this (I've already had my say on the site just now), go to the following link >>Click here (http://exapp004.informative.com/cac/pg/mypage.jsp) and click on the Pringles logo in the Give us your feedback section.

It'll take a few minutes to complete the questionaire thingy, but you get a chance to add your comments and ask for Cheese Um's to come back! :wow:

You never know BM, you mightget your magic snack back yet. :) :eat:

mr ribbit B)

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

excellent :thumbs:

thanks mr ribbit, i shall do that forthwith :lol:

actually, i'm quite surprised at how few people remember them, "do you mean cheese and onion?" "no, they were in an orange pot" " OH, you mean paprika"

NOOOOO!!!!! i mean cheese ums :rant:
(i think they were spelt with a "z", cheez ums :unsure: )

[Annabel]

:lol: @ BM...ooh I thought Cheezums were yuk! but I am ever so slightly (mega understatement) addicted to ready salted pringles, which are very bad for me! Pringles are so moreish...

One of my aunts told me once, when she was a teenager, she got into a fad of drinking whole pots of double cream...and was very surprised when she put on loads of weight and got covered in spots!!! :o ooh yuk!

[mazza]

Funny you mention double cream Annabel cos that would be my food with no calories (sort of thing :lol: ) .

And all those curries etc that are made with it!!.

And trifles...strawberries and cream...actually...Ice cream too :hihi:

Oooyummy!!!!

And actually, a greek dish called moussaka...blimey it is a calorie explosion - so THAT would prob be my preferred food to remove the calories from B) . (and chips :rolleyes: )

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

Annabel, its the monosodium glutamate that's addictive, most foods aimed at kids are full of the stuff. there's loads more of it in pringles than in ordinary crisps, so it really is true, once you pop, you cant stop. :D

and speaking of cream (well loosely), condensed milk, YUM YUM!!! :lol: :thumbs:

Oh my word, I haven't thought about condensed milk for years. I used to drink it from the tin when I was around 6 years old! :bigeyes: :lol:

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

I used to drink it from the tin

is there another way? :blink: :rolleyes:

[Lady Penelope]

:D ASIDE.....can't you make caramel out of condensed milk? YUM YUM :)

Otherwise it would have to be butter for me...Lurpak..just love it on crumpets, toast,veggies :lol:

LPxxx(hungry now) :rolleyes:

[Eeyore]

My mum used to make condensed milk sandwiches, yummy :D So moreish :)

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

my mum used to make sugar sandwiches and my dad used to tell her off :D
my dad, on the other hand, used to make mashed potato sandwiches :blink:

[Domestic Goddess]

It's so nice to learn that I am not alone in my Pringles addiction!! I can down a whole packet no problem! I especially like dunking original flavour pringles into a garlic dip - Mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!! I long for low carb pringles to be invented!!!

My other weakness is Hagen Daas strawberry cheesecake ice cream. It's a taste of Heaven itself!! Some people are under the misguided belief that a tub serves 4 people - what tosh!! 1 tub full is a perfect single portion!!! I don't want to know how many calories are in it!!

http://pages.prodigy.net/indianahawkeye/newpage09/9.gif

I'm also a big fan of KFC!!!!All that grease dribbling down my chin!!! There are very few men I wouldn't sleep with for a family sized bucket of KFC and coleslaw!!!!! :bigeyes:

I used to have mash sandwiches too. :thumbs:

The most calorific sandwich I ever ate (I think) was a Strawberry and cream sandwich, bought at a railway station. It was gorgeous! :wub:

[Eeyore]

A strawberry and cream sandwich :o That sounds yummy :eat:

I love the calorifically high toasted sugar bread, you have to do it under a grill, white bread is best :thumbs:

Toast one side as normal, then take the bread out, and spread the untoasted side with butter, and then sprinkle white sugar on the top, shake the bread so that the sugar covers all of the butter. Pop under the grill until the sugar starts to melt, fabulous :eat:

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

eeyore :thumbs: add a sprinkle of cinnamon and call it cinnamon toast ;)

[Eeyore]

I'll try that BM, thanks :thumbs:

[Mr Ribbit]

Oooh, I just saw something that I would like to have made calorie free - clotted cream, jam and scones. Yummmmm.

I'd have them after every meal if I could instead of once every blue moon. :eatin:

Sugar sandwiches...cripes, don't tell the kids!! :hihi:

[sapphirelily10]

Curry! - I have a meal delivered once a week (live surrounded by South-East Asian takeaways - heaven! :wub: ). If they were calorie-free I would be on a different take-away every night :D

Sapph (Queen of the low-fat, microwave ready-meal :( )

[Domestic Goddess]

Cadbury's Cream Eggs......ooooh baby!!!!!!! They're usually only available around Easter, but when I'm put in charge of the world they will be in the shops all year round and calorie/fat/carb free whoopee!!!!!!!


Fish & Chips from the chippie - who says British cuisine isn't sophisticated?!!!! In my view fish and chips is one of the best suppers a girl can have!!!

Terry's Chocolate orange - Dawn French can get stuffed - they're mine! Mine, I tell you!!!

Bacon sarnies Mmmmmmmmmm! Chip butties (drools on keyboard)

Y'know this thread is not helping me on my quest to loose weight. I'm now feeling decidly peckish and will have to go and raid my fridge!

[Mr Ribbit]

Hello Pusscat, :D

Whoever invents the magic process to do that would be very popular, very slim and very rich! :lol:

Maybe one day, eh? :)

mr ribbit B)

[Beth]

Lenny Henry used to eat condensed milk sandwiches, I think it was on tiswas.
My dad used to eat them too, the milk is thick enough not to just soak in.
I just like eating it straight from the can, if you leave the can open in the fridge it makes a nice crusty bit on top which is really sweet :) all you need is a spoon!

[Lady Penelope]

:D One day Pusscat,

Now here this :talktohand: I wish they could take calories off caramel wafers too.
I have been a very naughty Mummy today, I bought 5 bars :D and I have eaten the lot :wow: Master LP dosen't know and I've just hidden the wrappers deep within the bin :o

Naughty LPxxx

@LP :hihi: :hihi: :thumbs:

Once I ate one of my daughter's Easter eggs during an attack of hte minchies!! I had to sneak out and buy a replacement the next day!

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

You lot are a bad influence. I've been really good for ages but today I've bought a Cream Tea pack... Yummmmm, I can't wait till later. ribbit doesn't eat cream so they're mine, all mine! Hwar hwa hwa hwarr!!!. :devil:

:eatin:

[tortoise]

Dolly Mixtures.
I got a craving for them when I was expecting Little T, but that was some years ago now! I buy 3 for a £1 at Tesco and eat the lot b4 anyone comes home. Then I hide the wrappers!!
:blush: :blush:

[sp54]

I couldn't possibly choose just one, so here, in no particular order is my wish list -

wine
chocolate
curry
cream cakes
wine
chocolate
chips
cashew nuts
wine
chocolate

oh and wine and chocolate, of course :thumbs: :blush:

[Domestic Goddess]

Sp, you're my kinda lady!!!!! :thumbs:

[Elle Golightly]

Definately wine :wine:

Haggis suppers from L'Alba D'Oro fish and chip shop in Edinburgh

Blackpudd's chocolate brownies which are fabulous but have a pack of butter in them!!! (it's the recipe out the Green and Black's chocolate book which is a must for all chocoholics)

Blackpudding and fried egg rolls - great on a Sun morning.

Anything involving sausages - there's a sheep/beef farmer who goes to the Edin farmer's market who does the best lamb sausages in the world.

Crisps

Cheese - I'd be happy being stranded on a desert island with a good bottle of red wine and a pile of cheese.

Mmmmmm









:eatin: :eatin: :eatin:

[sp54]

OMG I forgot cheese :wow: :doh: LOVE the stuff - especially when washed down with :wine:
Excellent :thumbs:
My mouth is watering now. Not sure whether it's for the cheese or the wine :hihi: :lol:

[blackpuddinonnabike]

Okay, now I'm seriously hungry....

Beer (good stuff like Erdinger and Kriekbier) :drunk:
Cheese, lots of, mainly blue
Bacon sarnies
Crisps
Fish & Chips from Alba D'Oro like what Elle said
Pies!

I need something to eat now....

[Lady Penelope]
