So what's your favourite type of chocolate? Maybe share what bar or slab of chocolate you enjoy the most too. I've loved White chocolate since i was a kid but milk is a very close second. Dark is always just too bitter for me, even though I still would have some if offered. The Crunch Bar was probably the best alongside when Cadbury's did the Dream bar. Obviously Milkybars were nice too. Outside of White, it has to be a Double Decker. Not in the fridge though, you animals. I love the Nougat chewy chocolate with the biscuit inside. Let me know if you want me to add more options to the poll!

I need to start eating a higher amount of fibre because unfortunately i'm starting to get more and more stomach problems as I get older but I also would like to a very simple food plan to follow for someone who wants to tone/slim down their body somewhat. I'm thinking something simple and easy to follow is where to start, but its where to find this is the difficulty. So, this is where you guys and girls come in! What tips or simple plans have you come across that would be good to do? Thanks in advance everyone

Man, I hate getting old. For the first time in my life i'm having to far more conscious on how much food, more specifically rubbish sugary food, than ever before. I've never had to do this ever in my life and it is the most boring thing for me to do. I eat because I have to. Don't get me wrong I love good food but it isn't what I think about everyday. Are any of you people having to get a routine going and is there any techniques I can use on how to get rid of the temptation for chocolate and sweets or even just anything unhealthy at random times through the day? I have to get my weight down, i'm not heavy by any stretch but this is the heaviest i've ever been and the unfittest also. Any decent easy healthy food thoughts wouldn't go a miss either.

So, @Dan94 raised a perfectly valid question in the love food thread so i've picked it out to see how many people give the right answer 😎 Jam or Cream first? If anyone does Jam first you have serious problems with your mental health. Discuss. P.S. Best served on Sultana Scones. Omg they are amazeballs.

Didn't see a thread like this, so here it is. What's the last thing you ate or drank? For me it's the new Gamefuel Mt dew cherry flavor.

I'll kick it off: I own pancakes. Been perfecting them for over 12 years. My pumpkin pancakes are particularly devastating. Base recipe: 2 cups milk 2 Tablespoons lemon juice 10 oz flour 1 Tablespoon sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking soda 2 tsp baking powder 3 Tablespoons butter 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 egg Mix the lemon juice and milk together first and set it aside. The acid in the lemon juice "sours" the milk, making it more like buttermilk. Then whisk together the dry goods in a mixing bowl. Never measure flour with a cup, or I'll find you and cut you. Get a cheap digital scale; your life will improve 10,000 fold. Melt the butter in a separate bowl. Don't get it ripping hot, just melted, otherwise it will start to scramble the egg. Add the vanilla and egg to the butter and whisk together. Now, nuke the milk/lemon mixture in the micro for a minute, just to warm it up. If it hits the butter cold it will cause the butter to solidify which leads to an icky mess. Add the warm milk/lemon to the butter, egg, and vanilla and whisk it all together. You're griddle is ready right? Don't add liquid to the dry unless your griddle is hot and ready to receive. Dump the liquids into the dry and whisk them together, no more than 10 stirs, count 'em. Whatever lumps are left leave 'em. Over mixing leads to chewy pancakes, we want light and fluffy. Use a measuring cup or laddle to scoop batter onto your griddle and you should be able to handle the rest. Now, for variations to the base. 1 apple, diced, I like to spread the fruit evenly on top of the batter once I've finished my ten stirs. I like this a little better than stirring the fruit into the batter. 1/2 tsp cinammon added in with dry goods additional 1/4 tsp of vanilla is optional One banana, diced, spread evenly on top of batter fist full of walnuts, chopped, spread evenly on top of batter with bananas 1/8 tsp ground cloves added with the dry goods (clove + banana = win) 1 cup blueberries or diced strawberries spread evenly on top of batter 1/4 tsp extra vanilla 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, wrapped in 6 or so paper towels to dry it out some, add this to the butter, vanilla, egg mixture. 3/4 tsp cinnamon 3/4 tsp ginger 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp cloves 1/4 tsp allspice spices added to the dry goods Adjustments: If the batter is a little too thin (I like it pretty damn thick) reduce the milk by 1 once (2 Tablespoons). Have at it.
