For me it's tinned ham. I suppose most of it is pumped in water anyway.
Also various processed foods like burgers and crispy pancakes from supermarkets.

I used to love Pesto, but when I was pregnant it started to taste like I had a mouth full of iron filings. Everyone told me this would go once baby was born. It didn't. I still make my own pesto but I can't eat it anymore.

Used to love peppers, especially the Italian Peperonata, but they have a disastrous effect on my bowels now if I eat more than a spoonfull.

I love oranges, but whilst on a self imposed diet of oranges and coffee for breakfast discovered that my bowels open up, such a shame as I still like them.
would love to says its the coffee, but it isnt.

Peanut butter,

I used to love the stuff, but Mrs Sensible has almost stopped using salt when she cooks, and now peanut butter tastes too salty for me.

We also went to a restaurant last week and it tasted as though they had dropped the salt shaker in the food.

Prawns. They were so cheap and plentiful when we arrived 8 years ago I think we must have eaten them every week. I can´t eat them now as they make me feel quite sick, unless they´re king prawns and in a curry.

I forgot to salt the water for pasta once. It went in the bin. Bloody awful it was.

Does Mrs Sensible cook pasta without salt?

The only time I use salt is on chips, cannot eat them without it.

We have salt in everything that needs it! You can't stick to the British 6g a day allowance when the temperature is 35ºC. You need to replace what you lose through perspiration, or else you get bad muscle cramps.

Hi Lorna,

Yes she puts salt in pasta but not very much. We use very very little
