Do pickled onions

[lankeela]

count as one of your five a day?

[mccfluff]

not sure, do cherry flavoured maoams?

[rowanwitch]

if you have enough of them.. a small handful is about right

[andrew1707]

Apparently potatoes count as 1 of your 5 a day...but the govt don't tell you that because they know that everyone will think this means chips.

[rowanwitch]

How about a box of mon cheri or other liquer cherries got to be a portion there

[andrew1707]

>Rowan I thought your earlier post meant a handful of pickled onions. I understand now.

[rowanwitch]

My first was a serious response as in a handful of picled onions probably would count the Mon cheri response was to Fluff who would probably prefer to have her fruit with chocolate and alcohol if possible

[WF8MAN]

I reckon it's probably 6 onions per portion, (it is a vegetable) but don't quote me on that! Also, it depends on the size of them.

[craft1948]

I'm convinced that gin does :-)

[mccfluff]

course it does crafty, all 5 and if you have lime or lemon, well extra points awarded

[sandyRoe]

Would a Bounty Bar? It's mostly coconut.

[rowanwitch]

Apple or lime vodka is a portion too I'm sure.. as are things like bacadi breezer

[sandyRoe]

Then Cider must be included. The very essence of apples.

[albaqwerty]

Sandy, go with Malibu :)

[rowanwitch]

Banana or strawberry daquiri is at least one too... so a big jug is a whole allowance and pimms has big chunks of fruit and cucumber so thats a health food

[mccfluff]

i shall be using grapes to get my allowance soon

andrew, potatoes don't count as one of the five day. They are are a starchy veg. You can have sweet potato though.

What about chocolate covered raisins?

[seadogg]

and salted peanuts and cashews, not to mention garlic, not when you're facing me anyway.

[JonnyBoy12]

Well I should hope so as they are vegetables. Did you know that the cherry on the top of a bakewell tart does NOT count as one of the five, though?


What is a hedgehog's favourite food?

Prickled onions!

[rowanwitch]

Raisins are fruit cocoa comes from beans sounds like two portions
