Hi @maglil55,
Yes, @ianpspurs is correct, they are from a German Lidl store. Can't really understand why they aren't selling them in your stores any more. Hugs!
@ziggy_w my eyes lit up at the words "Lidl protein roll". Are they back in your area or are you going to deflate me by saying you had a huge supply in the freezer?
I really hope you’re right. Still high readings this morning and still not so much as a runny nose. Feel fine. Beginning to wonder if my fab readings were just beginners luck. And seeing my predicted hba1c keep going up on the mySugr app is actually so depressing! 3 weeks till my first bloods since diagnosis and if I carry on like this for the next 3 weeks they’ll be no different to when I started. And I don’t appear to be able to do a thing about it

Tender brisket sounds like unicorn eggs to me. How can anyone make that stuff edible? My baseline comparison is Ox cheek. If you have a recipe I would be interested but my mum and both grandmothers always said it was inedible.
When I first started with black tea I had to have the tiniest amount of sugar in it. I do mean tiny - about 6 grains on the tip of a teaspoon. Oddly Hubby was the same. Many years later I decided it was daft as that tiny amount wasn't changing it. Hubby managed to go back to tea with milk but I just couldn't. 3 weeks of enforced black tea changed my tastebuds forever.
Re "just a sip" don't want Hubby thinking I'm going alcoholic! It is very Bailey-like though but without the intense sweetness so you really get the hints of the other ingredients. The final recipe which I've now added to Copy Me That
LOW CARB BAILEYS
1.5 Cups Irish Whisky (I used Jamesons)
1.5 Cups Double Cream (I added another "bloop" when warming which was about 2 tablespoons worth)
8 teaspoons granulated sweetener (this depends on which one you are using. I started with 5 but added another 3 teaspoons as I tasted)
1 teaspoon almond essence
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
1 espresso coffee shot
Tiny pinch of salt.
Method - incredibly easy.
Measure all the items apart from the Whisky and The cream into a clean pot. I then added about half the cream and whisky. Warm it slowly - do not let it boil. All you are doing it dissolving the granulated sweetener. About 5 mins in mix in the rest of The cream/whisky.
I set the timer for 15 mins total so it was another 10 mins warming and stirring after the last of the cream/whisky went in.
After 15 mins of warming/stirring I poured it through a sieve into a large Pyrex jug and let it cool. Bottle once cool and refrigerate.
This produced 600 mls of "Baileys" and since my Kilner bottles were 500 mls I was "forced" to drink some of it. However, when first made the almond essence and whisky is dominant and it's a bit thin. 24 hrs on in the fridge it is much better.
The coffee/cocoa settles at the bottom so you have to turn the bottle upside down and give it a good shake every time you are going to serve it. Kilner bottles are ideal as you can see it going through the mix AND they have a good secure stopper.
This produces 12 - 50ml measures. Nutritionals per 50 mls

This was as much a pleasure as the sugar free creme brulee toppingI’ve Copied Me That too now, thank you for your diligent and enthusiastic research!
It's not just the ERG that are foaming loonies - there's a heck of a lot of them in Westminster currently. I suspect a lot of the so called journalists will be out of a job when this is finally over (if it ever is). They won't know what to talk about.
I can. The British have no history of eating well or buying sensible food. Now, if we were talking donuts ,,, Alternatively, the foaming loonies of the ERG would say it was Brussels bullying. I think the first one has the ring of truth.
I knew you were (are) in Germany @ziggy_w. I was thinking you were in the same boat as us in that Lidl stopped selling them despite the outcry but obviously they continued making them in their German stores.Hi @maglil55,

Bannon and Trump - must soon be time to start the 2020 US President circus. Lock him up?It's not just the ERG that are foaming loonies - there's a heck of a lot of them in Westminster currently.

You may get a shopping list if you come over to UK in Jan we all miss them !Really empathize with you. I know how frustrating it can be to see blood sugars rise and not knowing why. I still think though that in your case your body fighting a bug is the most likely explanation.
Keeping my fingers crossed that you'll be seeing better numbers soon.
Managed to also go to large Hotel Chocolat and use my 15% voucher code amongst other things got my first advent calendar for years! Researched before hand and lowest advent calendar was the supermilk one - less than both the 100% cocoa and dark one!each daily treat is a chocolate of 1.5g of carbs so easily fits in my keto lifestyle I will save it up for lunch with coffee...... 1st December will be celebrated this year!
Supermilk uses milk for sweetness no sugar whereas sugar is added to the darker stuff!That’s brilliant. What a find, And milk chocolate too? I havent had that for a year. What a lovely treat to look forward to every day.
