The food "police"!

Graces7

OK so it is day 3 of a Craft Fair.... selling well thankfully but getting tired now.... am over 70 and stamina is fading...

Every cent I take goes away and I take a flask and food and being a pensioner live well but simply so buying food in cafes is OUT.

There is a lovely couple from the Netherlands who make and sell crepes and waffles etc; they always bring me a cake when I am at that place... kindness in person.


Today! They bring me a crepe, filled with chocolate and strawberries, with a heaping of whipped cream on top... OH YUM! My kind of food and a total luxury.

SO I am just about to take that first delicious mouthful.. YOU know the feeling! Taste buds drooling.. when the guy on the next stall glares and glowers at MY TREAT and declares " SUGAR AND FAT!!!!" With huge contempt

He has read up on all this on the internet you see:( Believes that sugar is evil etc etc and cannot keep his views to himself..

I have no weight problems, apart from not being able to put it on or keep it on, and no cholesterol issues etc and in fact have a problem maintaining blood sugar levels.

AND I NEED A TREAT! That crepe renewed me and kept me working for a few more hours, Could just eat one now

The food police! Ay me! Otherwise he is the kindest and most helpful of men; always helps me load the car if we are at the same events etc...

Tell him to go read up on "Go f*ck yourself" on the internet.

There's a guy like that where I work too. I rarely have pastries etc. for my breakfast, but on the rare occasion that I treat myself to one, I can be sure he'll be standing next to me telling me how unhealthy it is. I wish people would just mind their own business - everyone knows pastries/crepes/whatever aren't healthy, I don't need to be told this when I'm about to treat myself to one!

Don't take this crepe creep's crap.

Hopefully some art made out of plants grown on small Scottish farms.

Then he'd be a croft crop craft crepe creep.

It was very bad during the college years, if I want to live off a Koka noodle sandwich for the day I will thank you very much.









I haven't touch that awful **** since graduation

I believe it's called taking the piss, he was probably just jealous. You should have slowly enjoyed it in front of his face and acted out an orgasim while doing so to show how good it is.

Tell him that a life lived without an occasional luxury is a life only half-lived. Denying yourself the pleasure of something delicious the odd time is pointless, and at 70+ you've earned the right to stop and enjoy a treat.

Enjoy every last bite of your crepe, and the kindness that brings it to you.

What a load of crepe.

No, as in situational comedy that has some overly opinionated characters

But.....

"You Paid HOW MUCH for that crepe? What a putz!"

Well said!

There was a lad standing for the local elections down my way who described himself on the junk mail he put in my letter-box as a 'passionate beef farmer'. I had visions of him running around the farm in his underpants.

Oh I did! I totally agree with you and my delight when that crepe appeared was huge...Treats are grand...and rare... Just the food police seem to abound at markets.. they have read books like " Pure white and deadly" and have no sense of proportion. Would find greater health in a fruit filled crepe than eg a large raw grapefruit I was offered then!
Once offered him a mince pie.. TOO SUGARY FOR ME... well fine all the more for me

I try to explain it is balance.. Deaf ears. Back at that same venue on 30th! Bring on the crepes! I gave the crepemakers home made jam ..
