How Many sugars do you have?

[lazybloke]

The only 'posh' cup I have is this cup and saucer from the coronation of King George the 6th in May 1937, which I don't use to save it from breakage. All the rest of my cups and mugs are the usual ones you'd see in anyone's cupboard. 🧐

The other thing about giving up sugar in drinks is that can REALLY taste it when someone accidentally adds it. Even if your cup gets stirred with a spoon from a sweetened cup - bleaugh!!!!

Although weirdly I still have a sweet tooth for cakes and even drinks in the right circumstances.

None in normal tea or coffee, but I make an exception for a proper espresso which should be black strong and sweet. ☕

One of the uncles of my late ex. always put brown sugar in his tea. When I first saw this I asked why.
He'd been in the Army in the Far East during WW2 and at the time, brown sugar was all that was available. Thus by the time he'd been demobbed, he was so used to the taste of brown sugar in his tea, he stuck with it.
As they never have white sugar in the house, I got into the same habit, so even now, forty plus years later, on the very rare occasion I have sugar in my tea, it's always brown and I think it gives a less harsh taste.

I remember an old friend of the family that took eight spoonfuls of sugar in his tea. Making him tea was like mixing cement.

As my late bro would have said ' how much tea do you like with your sugar - ?'

A thick slice of buttered spread with a few spoonfuls of sugar spread on top, and then a little tea poured on top of it was quite a common thing to do years ago.

When I was a kid sugar butties were quite common but never had one, it sounded disgusting.

A salt sandwich is a common staple for bachelors that haven't been shopping.

I heard of them when I was a kid


also bananas with sugar on them - granulated sugar to make them cruncy

never had one - they sound way too unhealthy even for me when I was a kid!!

My mum was known to send me to school with sugar sandwiches in my lunchbox.

Amazingly, I'm still in possession of 31 of my teeth.

The thought of crunchy sugar in a sandwich makes me cringe! I like sugar but the texture weirds me out

I occasionally have issues with low blood pressure and/or sugar. If I am home when I get that, the best quick fix is a sugar sandwich.

I must admit I loved sugar sandwiches back on the day, but the idea of having one now makes me

As a wee lad, I would sometimes have a scoop of marge, dip it in sugar and sook the resultant concoction off the spoon - !
