I'm a high school teacher. After discussion with the woman who manages the canteen here, it seems that there is no real market at the school for tubs of salad (it was apparently tried and discontinued before she arrived at the school). Wanting my wholesome food indulgence, I order a couple of salad rolls each day, and just eat the salad itself, without the roll.
Today, there was avocado included in the roll. This is an indulgence that gets much love for me, but not in MWLP times. So, without too much pain, I ate all of the contents but the avocado.
Then, after finishing, I had the painful sight of a wonderful wholemeal bread roll with slices of avocado sitting on it. So many of us listening to so many health experts over the years would have received all sorts of messages about both things being such good foods. Indeed the roll with the avocado would be quite a good lunch in its own right...
These are the sights which provide so much trauma when they are usually the cause of so much pleasure. Does anyone else have any horror stories, or tales of "foods I must resist, despite their lure" worthy of sharing?
