I eat pickled onions (6 to be exact) every day with my sandwich. A few days ago my fiance ate one and commented on how salty they were – I told him there was hardly any salt in them at all so he must be imagining it, then he checked the label. 50g (about a quarter of the jar) contained 25% of your daily allowance.

Well I almost spat my drink out, I was sure that there was very little salt in them and I couldn’t believe that I had been eating them all this time – I’d never knowingly have something so high in salt as a little extra with my sandwich.

Those were Morrisons value ones. Today I got some Tesco value ones (I shop at both supermarkets so get either brand) and was comforted to see that those ones do indeed have very little salt – just 2% in 25gs.

So obviously those are the ones I actually checked the label of, and then just assumed the other brand would be similar.

Lesson learned and I will be rechecking every thing I eat over the next few weeks!

Isn’t he lovely? Ok so it’s not a nice exotic getaway to somewhere like Mexico, it’ll be cold, wet and miserable in York in December no doubt, but it’s a cheap and cheeful short break and it’ll make me happy :)

If we do ever get to go somewhere more exotic like Mexico, then SeaSideMexico.com is going to be a site I remember to visit — they are a travel company with some stunning looking properties available to reserve in Rocky Point, including Baja California, San Carlos and Puerto Penasco reservations. So if you are planning a trip away, check them out :)
