From Google AI.

Clover is not butter; it is a spreadable butter alternative or dairy spread. While it contains buttermilk and is designed to taste like butter, its main ingredients are vegetable oils (rapeseed and sustainable palm).

I said it at my own dismay. I just picked it up in Tesco express earlier. There wasn't a huge choice. I didn't want flora buttery , the original flora would have suffice. Having now taken more interest in it my dietician wouldn't approve palm in it :(

Palm oil is found in about 50% of food products now from bread to crisps. Its just another type of vegetable fat/oil.

We don't use much but always go for proper butter.

It's the shortage of cocoa beans to make chocolate, they're not feeding the chickens as much chocolate therefore the eggs are smaller.

hope that helps ;)

Re: What are you eating now?
 
Inch-thick 35 day aged ribeye steak, steak chips, mushrooms basted in the steak juices, peppercorn sauce, washed down by a lovely bottle of Klinker Brick Marisa Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel - really went well with the ribeye.

Finished off with some Cognac my son bought me from a local wine & spirits specialist (Wrights Wine & Whisky, Skipton - really recommend it for anyone in the area or just passing through; they have hundreds of different malts whiskies and cognacs, and a very eclectic wine selection) - a large glass of Château Montifaud d'Archiac, V.S.O.P. Fine Petite Champagne…


I’ll sleep well tonight.

I take Vitamin D3 every morning for a few years now, since I realised I likely don't get enough sunlight working shifts and working in a clean room without windows.

I often have to Google what you eat to find out what it is, I didn't have a clue what Samber and Elephant was.

Re: What are you eating now?
 
Up in Glasgow for a few days visiting family, and went out for a meal last night to a nice little Italian restaurant called Bella Vita.

Had some Italian-Scottish fusion food which was very nice; for starters, Arancini Di Haggis e Mozzarella - Deep fried breaded rice balls mixed with haggis & mozzarella cheese, served with a wholegrain mustard & whisky mayonnaise dip, and then for mains, Pollo alla Scozzese - Chicken supreme stuffed with Stornoway black pudding, in a creamy black peppercorn & brandy sauce, served with chips.

Washed down by a couple of cans of Coke Zero, because I offered to give one of my brothers a lift to where he was staying whilst he’s visiting from Jersey.

Taf 08-05-2026 15:26

Re: What are you eating now?
 
Nothing at all yesterday, as I had 2 wobbly front teeth removed and my first denture fitted.

Mulligatawny soup and bread to dip into it at lunchtime today.

I shall attempt to eat with the family later: sausages, grilled bacon, fried bread, and tinned tomatoes. That is if I can figure out how to remove and then replace my denture, as the dentist was very vague on how to do it.

For Father's day my son helped to smoke a duck with Korean style marinade then stir-fried both some veg and rice on the coals. He then helped his mum with cleaning up. All the food was great, my involvement was minimal - I cooked the brown rice the day before then my wife brought home cooked potatoes. I also got the fire going and helped season the duck and when to apply more marinade to the duck.

I make my own breakfast - I won’t let me have a full English at home, as I intend to get as much out of my pensions for as long as possible… ;)
