    But maybe more acceptable than ersatz coffee which was roasted acorns & beechnuts(among other things!)

    and now can't comment on  my own thread

    tried below- can't get into a white space so the 'body ' is too short!

    Fubsy is short & squat- what for coffee??
     whereas ersatz is 'substitute'

    can anyone offer a way to get rid of the posting problem. I tried signing out. nada. I  don't want to clear cookies as I save my banking details.
    Frustrating

    Ersatz - there’s a word you don’t hear enough :)

    @Katiehound clear the cache, but not the cookies...or see if you need a browser update, sometimes when I need one my browser doesn't play videos, or something similar...
    Shampoo? No thanks, I'll have real poo...

    I was always led to believe that the portion of meat on the plate should be around the size of the palm of your hand. It certainly was a lot less when I was growing up with rationingand austerity in the 1940s/50s.
    That’s right. This site does portion sizes for protein and if you scroll to the bottom it has portion sizes for carbs, fruit and veg etc. It should be related to the size of your hands because a tiny person shouldn’t be expected to eat the same as a huge person: https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/support/healthy-living/healthy-eating/healthy-eating-toolkit/food-portions/beans-pulses-fish-eggs-meat

    I find portion sizes far too big when I eat out and I’d actually have a smaller portion of both dinner and dessert. If I eat out at lunch, I’m not hungry for dinner.  I’m not sure when someone decided that bigger was better?
