Don't you enjoy any fruit or vegetables, Jo?

I can't stand fat normally; the only time I can eat it is if it is crispy and very well done on things like bacon.

Whem I have something fatty at my grandmother's 8she is veeery generous with the fat), I tend to feel bad. It's like I can feel it in my stomach and it's not nice at all.

I can't eat a lot of very fatty foods, it makes me have heartburn and an acidy stomach. I love cream but I can't eat it for this reason - every time I do it plays havoc with my digestion.  |

Cream, butter, cheese, pork pies... delicious but forbidden in large quantities.

Going to make an effort to live a little more healthily and perhaps lose weight, using a free phone app for motivation and information. Seems very good so far, but I only started yesterday. The annoying bit is adding all the foods I eat, so it will take a few days before I have a quick reference library and not have to look up every ingredient in every meal.

Very interesting, thanks for showing us.
Over the past three years, following adverse publicity, supermarkets have pledged to cut out trans fats. I noticed that Melton Mowbray was one of the last food products to change its recipe to remove trans fats. If they went one better and replaced the lard with vegetable oil, I would start eating them again but that's never going to happen.

They won't taste the same, though. Lard gives a nice, flaky crust while vegetable oil makes it soggier. With food like that, the key is to have only a small piece rather than a huge one (or the whole thing). That way you get the satisfaction of the flavor without killing your arteries.
I don't buy low-fat anything (except milk). I just use the unhealthier (meaning real butter, mayonnaise, etc., not trans-fats) foods sparingly. I'd rather have a few bites of something delicious than a large quantity of a substitute.

My main grievance is that the alternatives are often fat (or whatever) free, but the replacements are not necessarily healthy, either!
...not to mention being no replacement!

My taste buds have dropped off over the past ten years so I don't appreciate the difference anywhere near as much as I used to. So low saturated fat alternatives are no big deal to me. (And healthwise they make a big difference.) |

I'm sorry about your tastebuds. You can send all the yummy stuff to me.  |

I can still appreciate a fine wine though |

I've seen that one. I used to like wine, but I stopped drinking alcohol last year. Not that I've been seriously drinking, but I did have the odd glass of wine every now and then.

Wine is something I cut back on too. Just have some on the weekend now. I was drinking too much wine and eating too much butter and cheese. And too much sweets. So All that is now weekend only food.

We don't drink alcohol. I hate it in fact.

You hate alcohol? Even English beer?  |

Everything. Yes.

I will occasionally have an alcohol drink, but never beer or wine.

I only like a very cold beer on a hot summer day. But I'll drink wine (or gin!) anytime. |

I like most kinds of alcohol, but I'm kind of off beer at the moment.

I have favourites, red wine, brandy and English bitter beer in that order.

A good glass of red wine with a nice dinner is very, very tasty.

I only used to drink white wine (maybe beer on holiday in Europe, where it's nicer) but recently I've been initiated into the joys of a gin and tonic. I feel like a grown up, now.  |

I got a head start: I learned in college, where it was the drink of choice in the '70s (either that, or bad beer.) I make mine with a slice of lemon rather than lime, as I find the former more refreshing.
