The sadness of addiction.

I have resurrected an addiction I had in my teens and forgot.

Now I am far more addicted than I ever was then.

In the last week I have eaten two jars of picalilli in sandwiches, on it's own. I suppose it keeps me off the pickled eggs(which reminds me there is a jar in the cupboard!) and gherkins.

Even when you take the sandwich spread into account?

I had cream crackers and cheese for tea last evening and usually have a dob of branston on them

Opened the larder to get the pickle and mouth wateringly there was a fresh jar of mustard pickle

No contest .was delicious especially as it had big chunks in it

I don't dilute it with the cheese.

I have always said that OH would have no worries if the Milk Tray man came down the path but it would be a different story if tat man with a jar of pickled onions came by,

When I was in my teens, on Friday eves my friend and I went to the chippy and got 4 pickled eggs each and 4 pickled onions.They were scrummy.
As for piccalilli, I still love it and daddies sauce mmmn.

I also use to drink the vinegar when the onions were finished!

I used to drink vinegar too :-)

Having noticed my tin of condensed milk was near it's 'use by' date, I had it on some tinned fruit, then by the spoonful.
I've bought another tin and await it's 'use by' date :-D
I know I shouldn't eat it - but won't waste it!

What I think to be a particularly delicious drink is the juice round Lidl gherkins.

The sweet addiction for me was boiled milk with black treacle stirred in, um might have to try that again. :-D
