Went to Sainsbury's today. Wife insisted I have a cup of tea and something to eat while she went round the shop, assuming I was going to have a ham roll or something, so I did. She winced and then laughed when she saw what I got myself - a really thich slice of two tiered chocolate gateau complete with real clotted Cornish cream (not this half cream people have in coffee) This was the real Mccoy! I'm just glad my nurse never saw me: she would have bitten my headoff - I'm type 2 diabetic. Had I tested my sugar level then it would have gone off the scale! An hour and a half later I am soooo bloated. Wife tells me I'm mad. I agree. What a way to go though!

Very nice in deed.i have a cake once a week as a treat.but it is years since I had anything like what you had.

As I said, I shouldn't have anything like that, being diabetic type 2. I don't tempt fate - that would be foolhardy, but once in a blue moon I do go off the wagon.

oooh clotted cream my absolute fave cream, the crusty bit is mind blowing!!!
I buy some only once a year, in the summer to have with strawberries.
I was told by a guy at the Diabetic Assc. that you aren't meant to eat fish and cardboard for the rest of your life, to have a treat is fine....
so I do.....pass the cream!!

Strangely enough, that's one thing I'm not a great lover of - I'd rather have a steamed syrup pudding and custard even if it was 90F in the shade!
