    Well I am unashamedly a good food nazi! Like some others have said I love a fresh white cob/frenchstick very occasionally... But as Pony said it's not food that you eat & try & kid yourself that it's healthy.

    I have to say neither is corned meat! Commercial corned meat is so full of nitrates and salts that it's a coronaries best mate! You can buy it without nitrates but it's still full of salt. It was one of my favourite meats - until I realised what I was eating...

    I buy St Dalfours fruit spread. It has no sugar in it. It's just fruit, grapejuice concentrate & fruit pectin. I too used to make my own jam but I couldn't cope with all the sugar. I wonder if there is a recipe for sugarless jam??? Anyone???

    Deb, I love the St Dalfours fruit spread, it's delish! And such yummy flavours. We pretty much only have that or homemade. I am an absolute sugar nazi but I personally think that sugarless jam is probably just like having dried out stewed fruit, not really jam at all .

    Mum usually soaks her corned beef overnight to draw out a bit of salt, she only gets it from the local butcher who sells meat from local farms. I agree though Inanna, it is still salty! It's a special occasion dinner for us, like Christmas

    The nitrates are even worse than the salt!
