Unhealthy Gifts When Visiting for Tea

I always bring a few salad leaves when visiting.

I'd hate to be seen as an unhealthy gift giver.

I don't just stop there though, I give salad leaves as Christmas and birthday presents.

I think they are really appreciated .

scones unhealthy? I eat them practically every day

In my experience most people enjoy a sweet treat and are happy to receive and offer same. If they don’t want it but eat it anyway that’s their own issue.

In my experience people bring a mix of things when visiting, it’s not always sweet treats, sometimes it’s cheese etc.

I don’t think there is an abundance of people out there who are offering and accepting sweet treats when they don’t want to be doing so, but knows…

I generally wait till the householders have gone to bed , break in and eat the cake I brought.

Imagine visiting and being offered tofu and wheat grass? Gimme tea and a bikkie anyway!

What sort of person goes for tea in this day and age? I'll meet you for a run or down in the gym you lazy slob

Tea with chocolate is probably the best thing in the world, cake is also great. Offering something nice with tea when someone enters your house is basic manners, if a guest accepts when they don't want to then that's the guests problem. I think bringing unhealthy food to someone's house is unusual but I'd always welcome it. I generally eat healthy during the week but eating delicious unhealthy food with a guest is part of socialising. You don't win friends with salad.

I'm with the OP on the subject of healthy, beneficial gifts. I haven't been invited for tea of late for some reason, but usually I'd bring a packet of surgical gloves and the offer of a free prostate exam.

I'll be the one doing the squeezing.
