Can you dunk them satisfactorily into a brew?!

Why would they want to ruin them?

Yes, they dunk well without disintegrating prematurely.

Scoffed the rest. Fuck me the Bruce chocolate cake is a delicious monster. The best cake I’ve ever eaten. Only one slice cost £15 but it would serve a family of six comfortably as it’s so rich and dense (and massive). Called Bruce after Bruce Bogtrotter off of Matilda. There’s no way anyone could eat a whole one:Today I discovered that a high end sweet bakery has opened up very locally to me and I’ve already spent over £20 on their products. This may well be the ruin of me.
I bought a cinnamon roll cookie, a salted chocolate cookie, a slice of Baked Cherry & Custard Crumble and a huge piece of chocolate cake named ‘Bruce!’

I had wondered how you coped with unending doughnuts. I tend to get bored by repetition when it comes to food, so I could imagine running the gamut of emotions, as I munch my way through all the different varieties, from 'hey, doughnuts!' to 'doughnuts are nice, aren't they?', then 'ah, yet another doughnut', until finally I am reduced to a sobbing lump in a corner, begging for anything, just not a doughnut. For months afterwards, even the sight of an innocuous bagel might bring on PTSD.

I do not cope well with unending doughnuts tbh, especially when OH brings big boxes of them home and they do attract mice when just left somewhere. I also worked doing doughnuts for a while (Sainsbury's bakery counter when I was 17, evening job while I was doing my A Levels) and I got fucking sick of them then - for me 2 weeks of getting powdered sugar and raspberry jam encrusted on your arms up to the elbow due to cleaning out the display shelves was enough to put me off for a long time, so the doughnut fatigue when 35 years later my OH got a job making doughnuts set in very quickly.
He is banned from bringing doughnuts home unless I am attending some event where several boxes of fresh doughnuts would be appreciated.
I never want to eat another one in my life.

I really liked it when he worked in a big and quite upmarket London market doing refuse collection - the amount of free fruit and veg (and sometimes other stuff that was nearing its best before date) that was being thrown out but still absolutely fine, it was wonderful. We ate mostly for free (with the occasional addition of other ingredients). I'd far rather have that (but the work itself was quite physically demanding and he has a physical disability, it was too much to do long-term. Icing doughnuts and putting them in boxes is far less physically demanding).

Chinese pizza, among the usual (cheese, tomato etc etc) you have sliced sausage and red kidney beans. Tasted quite good, although its difficult to get good dairy products here, so they seemed to have used a cream cheese base. You have lots of foreigners offering almost authentic Italian style pizza, but this is definitely different.

Honestly if you ever plan to come to London and would like free doughnuts, just let me know and I'll try to sort that for you - I think that massive slice of chocolate cake you got looked way better than a box of doughnuts that would cost about the same, but I am so sick of sweet things at this point, and I never had that much of a sweet tooth in the first place! I can cope with a few squares of dark chocolate and that is about it.

Some things from Aldi over here in Portugal in case you haven't had them in the UK
Cashew nut juice drink - sounds great, tastes like cheap sweet sugar rush kids drink.
Aloe Vera pulp ( natural) from the fantastically named Bio Gut range - tasteless but supposedly good for digestion etc . No good for hangovers
Sweet potato sticks - ok to munch on
Coconut kaffir drink- good

I just wanted more about a 6 pack and nowhere does them. Plus thought new one why not. All packaging like you said.

I’ve got a jar of this in the fridge going bad, because I honestly don’t know what to do with it. I opened it, spread some on a digestive biscuit (as I’d seen someone on instagram doing) and was underwhelmed by the flavour. It was just like eating biscuit on biscuit.
I should probably Google it, but I’m awaiting getting some inspiration of something worth using the stuff with, before it goes off.

Er, it’s a spread - you spread it on toast/bread. Did you not consider this?I’ve got a jar of this in the fridge going bad, because I honestly don’t know what to do with it.
