My latest search for plain carob resulted in Carob Buckwheat Crispbread, from the Naturally Good label.

Now, this is more like the carob I remember: no added sugar, with a muddy aftertaste. And foretaste. And duringtaste. Kill me now.

Now where did I see that 100g $6.70 bar?

If you get a chance could you look to see if there's any unflavoured (no fruit or nuts) carob that still has sugar? i.e. No "No added sugar" on the label.

BTW I haven't fogotten about you and the rat book. My sister has it now but I remember you wanted to read it.

There's also carobana.com - I order stuff from them all the time.

Thanks. I might try the carob-covered honeycomb.

can you drink Teeccino?
(It's not really a coffee substitute since it doesn't taste like coffee, but it's more-or-less drinkable in its own right.)

I had a look at the site and I'd have to say it's probably a no. I can have a coffee about once per week, as long as I don't do too many other bad things.

Does look tasty though.

Carob brownies?
All the recipes I found would need modifying of course (eg. stewed pears instead of applesauce), but then recipes are only guidelines really...

Good on you for perisisting. I went to the shops with the intention of trying the diet, came home with a big pile of food that I hate, and decided to give it a miss for now. I love FLAVOUR! Another time I would like to try it, but for now I would rather feel terrible and eat yummy food.

It's certainly tricky, and would be difficult to keep Julia happy as well.

Seeming as there are a few people out there with restricted diets (and quite a few with the same requirements), have you considered throwing out a challenge to your flist? Maybe post all the possible ingredients you can eat along with the definite no-nos and get people to try and adapt recipes to suit your diet(s). Sometimes more brains are better than one and I can imagine you would lose motivation to be creative because of the daunting nature of the task...

I have plenty of recipes, but there's not much I can do about the limited range of flavours. If someone can figure out a pizza that tastes like a pizza I'd be very happy.

I'd like to try a beige dinner party one day.
