And when I started it was 5.5p a litre, or about 4s 11d a gallon. All I can remember of treats in those days were ice creams sundaes in the school tuck shop.

Well petrol was 75p a gallon when I started driving...does that mean I'm younger than those 2 guys?
A walnut whip ...now you have done it I used to love those , maybe christmas day treat ......:***:
Nice to reminisce .....and have a treat occasionally ....
This is what I don't understand. It is torture, but the OP is waiting for a diagnosis of maybe type 2 now or maybe still prediabetic. I really hope for her sake that she is still pre diabetic because it's so much easier than being type 2. But why are we being asked to taunt her with things she soon might not be able to have often? I find that rather distasteful, excuse the pun. I must admit I wish I was back there in my pre-diabetic days, oh well, that's life.. Good. Back to torture.......I miss homemade rice pudding,

They still make them but they are tiny compared to what we used to buy.Do they still make walnut whips. Don't think I've seen one for decades! Maybe that's why you haven't had one for 30 yrs RRB???

Yep. You can still get them. I don't think they are as good now. Nestle have got them and gone cheap with the chocolate casing and no nut in the bottom. Just my opinion, still nice...from what I remember..Do they still make walnut whips. Don't think I've seen one for decades! Maybe that's why you haven't had one for 30 yrs RRB???

Do you ever let yourself indulge in something you really enjoyed before diabetes but have now given up. I do sometimes give myself a naughty treat but it is not very often anything sweet.... never did have much of a sweet tooth. Last week though it was something sweet in the form of caramel and sesame seed coated peanuts they were so yummy and I did have to be very firm with myself and not eat the whole bag I don't find eating something like that makes me want more though.
Some people say they crave starchy carbs but I did not eat very much of those anyway well not bread pasta or rice but I do miss a jacket potato as I did eat a lot of those so I will have one of those occasionally
Oh custard for me please. Thick like double cream.They still make them but they are tiny compared to what we used to buy.
I miss bread and butter pudding with plenty of dried fruit and spices served with a big dollop of cream.
No chance. I'm having to much fun.It is a pain in the bottom not being able to eat what you want or what you really like, but it's just one of those things. I assist a man with sight problems with his food shopping every week. We go to the bakery section in Sainsbury's and looking at and smelling the lovely bread types, well the assistants walk behind us with a mop and bucker because of the droolingI feel it all the time like many others, but it's not killing me by talking about it, or looking at it, I have had many nice memories of past foods associated with family and friends.
Also if the thread is so distressing to someone, then it's best not to post or read it and focus on another section that appeals to you more
RRB,

Peanuts are not too bad carb wise , though maybe whole bags of them might beI like to have a little (and sometimes not so little) amount of liquorice and turkish delight. However I must admit also bags of peanuts.
At the moment I have some blueberry liquorice so that must be ok as it is berries
Good. That's the idea !Peanuts are not too bad carb wise , though maybe whole bags of them might be
