[The Riff-Raff Element]

[quote user="Dick Smith"]Beer is an ideal food - I've seen the ads

dating back to the 20s. And potatoes certainly are vegetables, I'm sure

I read that somewhere as well....

And it's made with whole grains, I'm sure. I have a feeling that spuds

were stripped of their veg status to prevent people labouring under the

misapprehension that eating a big pile of chips every day would somehow

help them to live to 100...

[quote user="Jon D"]Mind you I've never been quite sure how much does constitute a portion. [/quote]

I am only going to all of this trouble for you Jon D 'cos' you remind me of a boy I used to date when I was 16. 

I am certainly NOT interested in ANY man who wears chicken soup flavoured slippers!

 

 

 

What is a Portion of Fruit and Veg?

• 1 apple, banana, pear, orange or other similar sized fruit

• 2 plums, satsumas, kiwi fruit or other similar sized fruit

• 1⁄2 a grapefruit or avocado

• 1 large slice of melon or fresh pineapple

• 3 heaped tablespoons of vegetables, beans or pulses

• 3 heaped tablespoons of fruit salad or stewed fruit

• 1 heaped tablespoon of raisins or sultanas

• 3 dried apricots

• 1 cupful of grapes, cherries or berries

• 1 dessert bowl of salad

• 1 small glass (150ml) of pure fruit juice

So a plate of baked beans won't count as a week's worth of veg?  Bums.  I was hoping I could give up all that salad and veg that Jude keeps sticking on my plate and just eat pork chops and drink beer. 

Guinness is Good for You.

Twinkle, your list does not include Baked Beans.  Does one Baked Bean (Heinz, not C&B) constitute a portion of Fruit?  Failing that, a portion of Vegetable?

Thanks Twinkle...out of curiousity, you weren't living in Norwich when you were 16? Stranger things have happened....

[Cassis]

I worked with a bloke from Norwich.  He told me nobody lives there.  His words, not mine! [:D]

Ah, no. No-one lives there. They are resident. Norfolk

people will not often say "that is right" in answer to a question, but

they will say "that is correct." Finest city in England. No riff-raff.

Not since 1985 anyways.

I've been around the block once or twice sweetheart but I never made it to Norwich[:)]

Hi twinkle, I've only been round the block once and, I've never been to Norwich,
