Sharing My World 20-10-2025

Here is my post for Share Your World, hosted by Di.

What did you have for lunch yesterday?
A cheese, piccalilli and tomato roll. Lunch is not my main meal.


Did you have a dessert, and if so, what was it?
Yes, if a chocolate digestive counts as “dessert”. I usually have a banana as well but I ran out 😦


Do you have a sweet tooth?
Yes, to a certain extent.


I read recently that a leading manufacturer has reduced the amount of cocoa in their chocolate biscuits, and it is now referred to as chocolate flavoured. Would you still buy such a product knowing that the chocolate actually isn’t.
It’s a huge brand and very well-known biscuits too! I’m not a fan of “substitute”. One wonders what it is. New! Improved! Now with at least 90% MonoTriPhosphateHydroAlkaSodiumGlutogen!

    MonoTriPhosphateHydroAlkaSodiumGlutogen is what makes it taste oh so good! And it only takes a few years off your life, per serving size…

      Worth the risk for that tangy chemical aftertaste…

    Love your fourth answer! Reading on today, apparently they are trying to use rice instead to make ‘chocolate’. No doubt chocolate prices will rocket again in the near future. Already the tubs of chocolates for Christmas have less weight.
    I had to laugh when I saw a 300g large family bag of one popular mix for £5.50 when a tub of 550g was on special at £4.50. Have bought a couple in readiness for Thank Yous to certain outlets but had to check the Best Before Date as some were the end of January!
    Thanks for joining in again. Have a good week.

      I’ll have to start getting in those tubs of Heroes. Not sure how you can make chocolate from rice 😮

        Hubby says they make it into a flour of sorts.
        Tesco have Celebrations and Quality Street (500g and 550g respectively) for £3.95 this week.

      Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be eating any “chocolate-flavoured” snacks.

    Lunch is not your main meal? What is?

      I eat my main meal in the evening, when I have time to relax and make something and enjoy it.
