Intermittent Feasting

That so-called "ginger wine" is just a strong ginger drink, no alcohol. I've been adding a small volume to a glass of sparkling water. And there was no prawn or prawn flavor in the crisps - the flavor was the cocktail sauce instead.
I wish it was called something else. Labels bother me when I am avoiding all alcohol, though Ginger Ale and Root Beer are pretty accepted as soft drink names. Ginger Beer usually seems to be an alcoholic beverage though.2 -
I prelogged Christmas dinner and it's most of my normal calories allowance. A lot of it is the warm Dutch apple pie with vanilla ice ream and caramel sauce, which is a "worth it" item for this thread.6

If you can find the British McVities Digestive biscuits (cookies) they make an amazing substitute for graham crackers in cheesecake crust.0

In a lot of things, I like finely chopped pecans mixed in with the graham cracker crumbs.4 -

Google tells me that it has alcohol in it. There's also a recipe for it in the Guardian that makes it sound like it's definitely a type of alcohol. That said, if I was wanting a fizzy really gingery drink, I would either make unfermented ginger beer or make ginger syrup and mix it with carbonated water (which I might do this afternoon).1 -

Thanks, I thought that was the case.. thanks for the confirmation.0 -
Going to have more of that apple pie later - it's my birthday. Then back to it tomorrow; I want to get lower in my maintenance range.5

Thanks. It was actually a pretty big deal as it was a milestone I wanted to pass in good shape at a normal weight. I based normal on BMI because I couldn't rationalize it being higher. Anyway, I succeeded.9 -

Adding my thanks as well for the clarification.
This is what I got. The cashier lady was therefore incorrect when she used the term ginger wine, or else she just didn't look carefully.

Thanks!
That looks interesting; I really like ginger. So I found it is available from some Amazon sellers in the US. $60 for 2 bottles. Yikes! There is a candy and soda store in town called Rocket Fizz that carries a few good ginger ales. I like Blenheim Hot Ginger Ale but don't get it often. Full sugar sodas really don't make this list for me except on rare occasions. A ginger ale or other non alcoholic ginger drink that is highly regarded and I haven't tried yet is kind of a non specific item that does make the list though. But the price to get Rochester here kind of kills the deal...0 -
I have always liked Lindor balls, but the white with crushed peppermint is a new one to me. Consumed a number of them the last few days. I guess it makes the list of "worth it" foods.
I have the black eyed peas tradition passed down from my mom's side of the family and I keep doing it because it reminds me of her. Yesterday i tried something new and basically subbed black eyed peas for red beans in a red beans and rice recipe and added chicken. It was actually quite tasty.2 -

I discovered Rocket Fizz when visiting San Luis Obispo a couple of months ago. Great store! what a collection of goodies!
I've been diluting the ginger drink quite a bit in fizzy water - about 1:10.

We have a Rocket Fizz too! I've never been in there, but I would like to.0
