.I remember the thread or posts on Walnut Whips a little while back as I used to treat myself with this confectionery, especially the coffee flavour 15 years before being diagnosed with type 1, It was when I started my first job at 16 with the GPO and a tiny amount of my wages went on the yummy Walnut whip from Nicolson's sweet shop/newsagents on my way to work. I felt so

@Andy12345 stop it, this is more than I can bear, I really don't want to go out shopping at this time of night, but if you keep on talking about gorgeous food I'm gonna have to! No more please.

ill try to find the recipe, its tough to make the pastry from almond flour but when you perfect it....sigh heavenly low carb mince pies

Please let me have the recipe...I'm sure my son will manage to make them, he's great at baking.
 
sure ill find it, i need it anyway lol, the difficulty is not eating too many as they are about 3g of carb each (if i remember right?) so its easy to go too high and push up that blood reading
 
Yeh, you're right, but this is called 'a little of what you fancy' and mince pies....yummy
 

My forum Avatar is the reason why you though I was older izzi

I think when I first started driving petrol was around 30p a gallon, where did it all go wrong.
 

But the thread is called 'a little of what you fancy' and do you treat yourself to something you ate before being diabetic? It's a nostalgic memory for many ( whatever type) and a light hearted thread. tbh If I was newly diagnosed and reading words like, sweets, chocolate, fish n' chips, pies and baileys and now mince pies which I really liked, I would be having a thorough read and then any questions or concerns I had. I would post on that thread.
It is nice to reminisce, especially with the festive season looming up on us

Best wishes RRB
 


Thought as much AnnieC, thanks for the clarification.
 
so then mentioning these....




might be a nice way for the newly diagnosed to realise that life is not over

you CAN treat yourself to amazing food as a diabetic

As a non driver 30p sounded quite reasonable ? but I have no idea how much it is, and also alcohol

Well petrol was 75p a gallon when I started driving...does that mean I'm younger than those 2 guys?

Petrol has to be close to £6 a gallon now RRB, alcohol, well don't get out to the pub much now but you'd need a second mortgage to have a good night out I'd imagine.
 
petrol was already being measured in litres when i started, im just puppy compared you you old folks, I SAY IM JUST A PUPPY!
 
My treat is Greek full fat yoghurt, 85% dark chocolate and a few strawberries! Wow what a combo as does nowt to my BSLs! Woohoo!

Miss me chip butties and roasties. Spuds spike me ruthlessly!!
