Yack! Milk chocolate is revolting!

[Scandichic]

My daughter has just handed me a piece of her Cadburys milk chocolate Easter egg. Oh dear God! The sugar set my teeth on edge! Had to have some peanuts to take the taste away. How could I ever have thought that tasted good! Thank heavens for Green and Blacks 70% organic (thanks @Kat100 for that recommendation! I am now a firm convert! Love you!). It's amazing how LCHF changes your taste buds. Prior to Jan 28th I would not have thought a life without Cadburys, pasta, rice, bread possible! Another step on my long journey......

It's is true you can get addicted to this 70% plus chocolate ..... @Scandichic
I love you to ...... and my chocolate ......

lol i had a coffe yesterday after the park run that tasted sweet :***: how coffee can taste sweet is beyond me but it did, yup sure is strange how tastes change, i havent tried milk chocolate but i can quite imagine

 

[andcol]

yes I am into the 90% chocolate now and the more bitter the better. Had a biscuit (or 3 to make sure of my findings) earlier and thought it was just bland sweetness. At least when I have fruit there is some flavour there alongside the sweetness.

Shockingly, I may be approaching the point where I don't want any sweetness in my coffee.



I never thought it would happen. One of the reasons I have always restricted myself to 1 coffee a day was because that kept me to 1 tsp of sugar a day, too.

So, without the sugar in coffee, does that mean I can drink more cups of it?

 

[andcol]

yep and I bet you will want it more and more bitter as you do - I have it so strong (and black) now my wee smells of coffee. Funny really because I still have my tea weak

Cadbury's Milk Chocolate is lovely but not as nice as Galaxy. I don't eat chocolate very much now but was a fan of Aldi's Moser Roth 85% dark chocolate, when your use to a high coco content dark chocolate and taste a piece of Bournville (which is supposedly a dark chocolate) then you can indeed taste the sweetness.

I have 3 tsp of coffee per cup if instant and am also starting to think about foregoing the sweetener! Great minds think alike!

There was a time when I would have agreed with you but not any longer! Lidl also do a nice dark one too!

I had an absolutely divine latte in a tiny speciality tea shop cafe place a couple of days ago.
Undertones of raisin and cherry.
I kid you not.
AND it was decaf
Small, but perfectly formed.
It would have been a crime to stomp all over it with xylitol, or sugar.

The next step will be black coffee, which I have resisted so far because of the teeth stains...

 

[Andy12345]

teeth stains? mine seem ok

 

[Brunneria]

Oooerrrr Andy, you sex god!

Nothing like livening up a Sunday afternoon, eh?

 

[Andy12345]

a)"Cadbury's milk is nicer than Galaxy" or b)"you can't taste the sweetness in Bournevile"

i say
a) both are over-sweet & vile. b) your tastebuds have siezed up

I don't like any of them - they're all too sweet! And my bs is sweet enough - lol!

I've been drinking black coffee for 34 years and I like it quite strong. The only time I have a milky coffee is when I'm in a restaurant when I have one instead of a pudding. In the past I had my sugarfest moments but mainly my fixes were pastry, rice, pasta, bread, cheese. I've never liked sugar added to drinks, cereal and especially not doughnuts. I loved plain, warm doughnuts.
I love the 85%+ chocolate and have tried lots of brands, but I find it best not to buy too often, otherwise extra pieces sneak into my mouth when I'm not looking.
One of my Turkish friends is T1 and he loves Galaxy. I always take several bars when I visit but I'm inclined not to in future. Now I know better.
I used to like lemon meringue pie, marshmallows and various sweet cakes from the halal sweet centres near the school where I work. But I don't feel the desire to find substitutes.

I like very strong black coffee too. Went to Germany on an exchange when I was 14. The family I was with put condensed milk in the coffee! Shudder! Haven't had milk for almost 30 years! My dessert substitutes are the ice cream and the choc orange mug cakes. Yum!

You still have teeth? you're lucky
