me too DB - well not chip shop but a local pastry shop that does something called "pig in a blanket" - basically a strip of bacon with some cheese baked inside a puff pastry wrap. fat and yummy! scoff one of those on my way to get lunch.
Thanks, guys. Now I know why Mr V-rap, who appears to be too disorganised to eat at all (I often find his breakfast in the microwave when I come home in the evening) seems to be defying the law of conservation of matter. And why all the fast-food shops on our high street seem to be thriving.
I'm here on behalf of Mr V-rap, whose BMI is over 25. And now I know how he keeps it there despite seeming to live on coffee. And why he has a previously inexplicable compulsion to go mooching up the high street every day. Must get "do not feed this man" posters made and put them up in all the chippies.
my colleague is sat here next to me munching on a toasted turkey n cheese sandwich. I'm pretty bored and prone to binging to relieve it, and the smell of his sandwich is driving me mad! But no - I must resist must resist
The chippy that used to be across the road from my surgery sold VERY cheesy chips. Positively green around the edges. Their main business was something for which the police closed them down.
I'll settle for a plateful of oven chips. They're one of the few foods where I insist of the branded rather than the bargain-basement variety.
Breakfast for me was two "butteries" - a NE Scotland speciality which are a cross between croissants and bread rolls, but denser and flat (full of fat!). This morning's weren't quite as crispy as I like them, but they were yummy all the same.
And someone is leaving today, so they brought in a tin of M&S Luxury Belgian Choccie bikkies.
When I lived in a university residence in Dundee for a year, getting up in the morning was never a problem because there were always warm butteries for breakfast. They were invariably snaffled first.
Chips are essential ???? You wait till I get home tonight. Mrs RLD and her baked potatoes don't stand a chance. (Actually it's scrambled egg on toast tonight before spinning and circuits butI can dream).
Please tell me that a full english every saturday morning at the local caff is also required to live long and happy. I havn't had one of those for about 12 months.
No FBF, I wasn't a prop. During my extremely short rugby career I was a 2nd Row - it was one of my thinner periods but I was so rubbish I gave up and concentrated on eating instead.
A full English is fine provided you inhale from a distance of at least twice your own height while keeping your teeth clamped firmly together and being careful not to swallow anything. OK, maybe the baked beans and the well-grilled bacon...
Nowt wrong with a baked potato provided it doesn't come with cottage cheese. Or an undressed green salad.
It's OK, DBSA, you can come in now. The hardcore Fat Pride contingent have fled. There's a rumour that they were too plump and juicy for a ravenous dinosaur to resist snacking on, but I suspect the truth is that they've all got day-jobs.
Doner kebab...mmmm...I can smell the salmonella from here. Yummy! Now THERE'S a way-too-drastic route to weight loss. Especially with a nice salad which has been washed in water passed by the management, or by the retailer you insulted yesterday after twenty pints of lager and raspberryade.
Pass me a buttery and I shall leave peacefully, closing the door with a satisfying click as I go.

And passively inhaling vinegary chip fumes is a pleasure in itself.
Yipee!
Chips for lunch with salt and vinegar followed by crisps for pudding (salt and vinegar)
Tapering for 10k at the weekend so cycling tonight followed by stretching and wobbleboarding
Will still consume at least 5 pieces of fruit and 2l of water though!

Anyone else like one while I'm there?
fbf, hope the salad nicoise wasn't too bad. My supper didn't even have a french name to redeem it.

And I haven't run today yet.........
