Step 1 Sole Source So sick of porridge!

[Starlit_Cazza]

Well, as an "oldie" (I did this in 2008 properly, probably half a dozen false starts since, and now on day 56), I thought I knew what I liked and what I don't like. My typical order is maple and pecan porridge, chocolate tetras, lemon bars, and occasionally a cappuccino or banana shake (find it too cold for these at the moment tbh as I like them with lost of ice and blended). Anyway, turns out even this far in your tastes an change! I seem to have been avoiding the porridge, but ordering regardless (CDC has been away so last order was for 2 weeks).

So over the last 2 weeks I have made my way through my tetras and bars, and now I find I have nothing left except porridge to see me through until Tuesday night... and I don't want porridge! I just had one now, and I have just completely gone off it. Urgh. We are never safe from changing taste buds!!!!

Oh no, there is nothing worse than being stuck with something you aren't keen on. There is not much to recommend, you just need to persevere and see yourself through to Tuesday, and then go mad on everything but porridge.

More water. Sounds mad, but add more water to it. I can't stand the slimy texture. See if you can get it to a consistency you can tolerate. Oh, and the other thing that might help (though probably not at the mo cos you haven't got any other shakes) is to add a tablespoon of Cambridge milkshake powder (toffee and walnut is supposed to be good). Hmm,wonder what would happen if you mixed it with fruit tea?

Know what you mean Cazza, you have NO idea how much willpower it took to get the last 20 or so mushroom soups down :yuk: I have to buy whole boxes, the Danish CDCs apparently don't sell individual packs... When I started I figured
i needed soup at lunch and dinner, and in DK the choice was vegetable or mushroom - so two boxes of each, right... After the first few packs, I could have killed for shakes instead ...

 

[Starlit_Cazza]

Urgh, don't envy you that!!!! Not a soup fan at all. So strange they don't sell individual packs...

 

[MSM]

Don't ge me started on strange and Cambridge in Denmark - just as well Minimins exists, for all the information I've got from Denmark... Definitely wouldn't have made it without info and support from you guys here - which is all very well for me, but not much good for Danes whose English isn't up to navigating around in here... And the range of products is far more limited, never mind more expensive...

oh no!! crazy that the taste buds change in general!... last week i had a mango shake and loved every sip.. then i had it yesterday and it tasted like dodgy cough syrup..yuck!... power through,,you can do ittttt!.. maybe try what lily said,, mix it with a few things? i make mine really watery,, almost like a soup but with a layer on the top! ,, and i love it!

It's ok, I have my week supply of tetras and bars now, so something else to eat, yay!
