Whelks,winkles... All crustaceous seafood except prawns. Can't do crab.lobster or scallops.
Don't like the way they are killed and cooked. Save our Scallops. SOS !!!
Also HATE evaporated milk.
I have a bag of popcorn in my cupboard which I would like to eat.

These are unpopped and I don't add anything ( no sugar or salt ) and cook in a tiny bit of rapeseed oil.

Before I start trawling Google for nutritional value I thought I would ask here first.

Would popcorn be classed as a low carb food please?
 
I dont think popcorn is low carb. If i remember well 100g has about 65g carbs. if you eat small amount it should be ok but whole packet not really.
 
 
Popcorn hasquite a high percentage of carb,[around 50%] but since it doesn't weigh much, you can probably have a SMALL portion without too much worry. salt will not add any carb, but will help taste.

I love popcorn. LOVE it! When I go to the cinema I always indulge in a small one :smile: I wouldn't enjoy the movie without it

I love popcorn too, sadly its the toffee popcorn I like, its actually the only sweet thing I do like. i am just resigned to never eating it again :-(
 
For me it would be buttery salted pop corn . But my fav sweet things are jelly cola bottles or ***** bears stuf like that but I loved them frozen. Cant have them now though :-( . I did by a bar of lindt 90% coco chocolate the other day as been told just a very small amount of very high cocoa chocolate is ok every now and then. As of yet non tryed it. It will have to wait for special occasion or untill I can no longer contain the beast lol
 

Buttered salted was my favourite too! I make my own jelly sweets by making a sugar free jelly up with less water so it's stronger tasting and pour it into ice cube moulds and set them in the fridge
 
Hmm sounds like a plan
