Do you still drink fizzy drinks/sodas?

[NoraB]

I think that's likely. I'm fine with most chocolate, even with more than a couple of bits, but there's something about very sweet dark chocolate that makes me feel absolutely wretched. Doesn't stop me eating it, just means I regret eating it.

I'm an all or nowt kind of gal, and by 'all' I mean literally snaffling a family sized bar of Dairymilk. (in one go)

[BlueIris]

Ahh, right, yeah, that'd do it for me as well

My normal accident is half a bag of bournville buttons; technically I've stopped buying them but I forget every few months.

See, you stopped at half a bag. That's skills, that is! (I'd scoff the whole bag)

It's fat girl guilt, I can only eat until the self-loathing kicks in

My self-loathing isn't so much about my chubby bits as the physical symptoms that kick in about 20 minutes after the blissy bit.

But the chocolate speak to me when I'm in Tesco, you know?

I go in with the FULL intention of buying fruit, veg, and boring but healthy stuff, and it's like I'm being magnetically drawn to the chocolate aisle?

[BlueIris]

Blame Tesco, it's their fault I go in for basics and always come out with weird stuff labelled in languages I don't necessarily speak because it looks interesting. Shamefully, this is the reason I started learning Polish, it's because I'm picky about cakes but the cakes you get in Polish shops are AMAZING.

There's a Polski Sklep (shop?) in Manchester I think? I've always steered clear because 'sklep' sounds like something you'd need antibiotics for. But, cakes you say?

[BlueIris]

Yes. Cakes. Cheesecakes and chocolate cakes and cakes with this amazing sweet poppy seed filling and white chocolate drizzle on top.

I live on a council estate so rubbish that even Aldi left, so if I want fresh produce beyond carrots and onions it's either Polish or walk an hour to the supermarket.

[Catkins]

Our little town has a polish shop and we're getting a newer bigger one.

I'm not sure why I came on and said that tbh, but the cakes are good so I'm hoping we'll get a good selection.

Polish shops are brilliant. If you can find the potato and cottage cheese pierogies they're amazing with romesco sauce - recipe available via PM on request
