I'm on my second day of low carb after falling off the wagon spectacularly during lockdown (to the tune of about 20lbs). This thread is torture!

I started buying regular KitKats and then dipping them in peanut butter. Haven’t had one in months.
THAT sounds amazing!!!!
It worked out less expensive too as I bought the small KitKats when they were in special offer packs.
Just checked Waitrose and they are doing two packs of 9 of the 2 fingers for £3.

That looks delicious.
I love her site. She has lots of one pot meals.
Been Grunka-ing here whilst distracted by the babycat drama the last few days.
I love learning about regional dishes (especially the cake ones), and had to google Tottenham cake, it looks lush. I grew up in Sussex and we used to have Gypsy Tart at school which seems to be a really south-eastern thing. I've always wanted to try a Coventry God cake (which are basically mincemeat in puff pastry, the only things stopping me are geography and my own laziness to recreate at home tbh). I had Staffordshire oatcakes on holiday recently and really enjoyed them.
Do you have any nice local specialties/recommendations of nice cookbooks or blogs about regional delights? I live in the North East of England now, nobody's heard of Gypsy Tart here but they do have (Scottish, so sort of local) empire biscuits which I love. Do Greggs not have cheese scones everywhere? They're ok, not amazing, I used to get them when I worked in an office and microwave them so they were warm and cheesy, mmmmm....

I’m in the south west and we have Lardy cake here which is a greasy sugar thing of beauty. Not sure if it’s a regional thing or not but I haven’t seen it in a lot of bakeries.
I made a Walnut Tea loaf (Mary Berry) today. It is gorgeous, especially warm with butter. It’s not a traditional tea bread because you don’t soak the fruit.
There’s not much left

I’ve been triangulated Fraus, first time ever I’ve been shown the ad for allplants on Insta. Big brother is watching....
God I love Gypsy TartI adore gypsy tart, it's one of my favourite sweet things
It's a Kentish dessert
I’ve not tried Gypsy tart but it sounds delicious so I’ll have to give it a go.
I tried the new Chipotle, lime and coriander mayo from Sainsburys tonight and it is SO GOOD. Fellow coriander lovers must try it

I love tea loaf. I might make my other half (and me, by happy coincidence) some for the weekend.I made a Walnut Tea loaf (Mary Berry) today. It is gorgeous, especially warm with butter. It’s not a traditional tea bread because you don’t soak the fruit.

What's everyone having/had for dinner? I've got some lamb marinading in yoghurt, garlic, ginger, chilli, cumin and coriander in the fridge, but have reached the point in the evening where I feel too lazy to get up and cook it. Already fed the teen an avocado, bacon and tomato wrap, so it's only me to feed and I am not sure I can be bothered. I normally absolutely love food and cooking, but I feel like I have just had enough of producing food everyday atm.
Just ordered a Chinese
ribs, and beef in black bean sauce. Cannot be bothered to cook today at all...I had one fish finger bap with fresh tomato, chilli jam and mayo sauce for brunch. Then for dinner I had a fried egg cooked with onions bap and the same Chilli and mayo sauce. I’m tired of cooking. 
God, I want a Chinese takeaway soo bad. But they are all terrible around here, and I know I will be disappointed. Plus I order enough to last a week and feel like I need to pretend there is a party in my house when the delivery driver arrives.Just ordered a Chinese
I had a prawn stir fry but I’m also craving a Chinese takeaway. There’s only one decent one by me and they haven’t been open in a while.
I made a squash and spinach dal curry, and homemade naan breads
