Hi @Kat100 I tried the Alpro vanilla flavoured ice cream at the weekend. Best ice cream ever!! Not bad for carbs either :D

Today
Brunch: toasted Lidl roll and peanut butter, golden turmeric milk
Dinner: haricot beans in herby tomato sauce, Sainsbury's m/f balls, dairy-free cheese sauce (There were complaints about how stinky it was. How rude!)
Hi @Avocado Sevenfold yes that ice cream is the best ever lol ..
I have just finished the coconut .. I will try the vanilla next .. it's yum time .. ;)
Then there is the hazelnut and chocolate lol ....

My meals today , have been the same as yesterday :)

The wife had the Alpro coconut yogurt .. she only took half a spoonful and bang .. she was in full migraine mode . wrote to the company and they arranged for the tub to be collected .. said their was nothing wrong with it and she must be allergic to soya .. her face was still really swollen a week later despite taking tons of antihistamines .. like any foods be careful :)

Gosh sorry to hear this @Enclave , I hope your wife is better ..
The swallow face reaction I have had before , cause unknown for me .. but it wasn't soya ..
I don't have the soya yougurt though .. I am not a yougurt person ..

So far all okay with the ice cream .....it's a yum from me , I now have all three flavours in my freezer ;)
It's a good thing to keep antihistamine meds , just incase .. good tip that ..

There was a good Sarah Jarvis discussion about , swallon faces , and not all being food related .. !!!!!
good luck with keeping well .. and happy eating :) x

Liquorice and aniseed (especially the tracer I have to drink in hospital before a CT scan - yuk!)
@Avocado Sevenfold

Thanks for asking - don't want to stray off topic, but am ok'ish. I went to hospital for a check up and told not to worry: I need to wait a few weeks for a CT scan to be certain.

Not eating much at the moment, so no point in updating this thread :-(

I am not sure you can go off topic as nobody knows we are here :bag: Take care and don't be a stranger x
