I haven't got around to ordering from them yet. I make my own salad dressing with olive oil, white wine vinegar and herbs.

I was not able to get hold of the sugarfree mayo mentioned earlier in this thread locally but have found another website offering it!

Tracklements UK - Speciality Chutneys, Mustards and Preserves

They list the ingredients of all their products online and have mayo, a horseradish sauce and tartare sauce concentrate made without sugar!!

Postage is £4.95 for up to 19 jars, but spread out between a few jars would not up the cost too much I think.

Hi all!

Just nipping in to report a delightful discovery –*unless you've already discovered it, then let's cheer together –*M&S diet sodas are all sweetened with sucralose (sans aceK) and have .5 carbs per 500 ml ("lunch deal") bottle!

I live in Ireland and there's a fair few UK brands here, but would have to drive aalllll the way up north for Sainsbury's or Waitrose. Have been dying for something sweet –*finally got it!

Thanks for that, I'm going to get my OH to look out for it when he next visits Marks & Sparks. Brilliant!

Hi Im also a Brit from Birmingham just saw this thread very interesting.I have tried the M&s diet lemonade its really nice and the 1 litre was only 34p so cheap I had it from the fridge nice and cool.

I read in a few posts about flax meal where can you get it I tried my local morrisons but couldn't find it anyone know?

Hi Sham,
I picked some up in my local Tescos. Its Virginia Harvest, cold-milled flaxseed i think it was £2.99 for 175g pack.

Hi Guys, I am also a Brit (Surrey).
I also like the Tracklements horseradish etc. I can buy it in my local farm shop.
Waitrose sugar free bitter lemon is sweetened with sucralose. I need to order a bottle of their tonic to see if it's the same - I'll report back!

My OH went to Marks & Sparks for the diet lemonade. It's really nice, not too sweet and no nasty after taste. It's great to know I can have a drink when I fancy one after going down a bad road with Coke Zero.

I also ordered the flax seed cafe_et_creme mentioned from Tesco. I'm not sure what to do with it but will see when it arrives later today. I'm wondering if I could use it as a coating for spicy fried chicken as I fancy doing something different other than roasting or stewing my chicken.
I've seen an induction friendly recipe for flax seed bread floating around somewhere.

Good stuff, Ammie –*let me know how you get on with the flaxseed... I may pick some up if it's a winner!
THe M&S soda is a real lifesaver as well, it's the little sweet taste we need to keep going!
