Do you have a sweet tooth, or prefer more savoury?

70% Savoury 30% sweet Id never say no to Prawn cocktail crisps or a Tiramisu even if I have one hand hanging from a cliff 🙈🙉🙊

Savoury. I'd choose smoked salmon, cheese, olives, salami etc over chocolate, cakes, sweets and desserts any day.

I'd say I lean towards sweet but I have limits, like for example I actually much prefer simplier stuff over those like 'super ultra duper mars bar biscoff brookie muffin' type things like I'd much rather just have a classic brownie or something I also had more of a sweet tooth before starting adhd meds as I realised I was def using sugar as a way to self medicate

Savoury. Though it's mostly because my love of crisps overrides everything else.

Sweet tooth when I'm sober. Otherwise savoury.

Exactly the same. You also find yourself on the fizzy drinks sober?

I used to hate sweet stuff. Once I quit drinking, I just want anything and everything sweet.

As I started to get closer to my 40s I started caring about food less and less. I don't get excited about snacks, sweets or hyper processed foods anymore.

I'm off most of my food too. Can be such a pain every evening to try and think of something to eat.

Regularly hankering for both, hence… fat. When drinking in the winter, (weirdly) I crave ice cream. When drinking in the summer, I crave really buttery crisp sandwiches. Love pork pie. Love cherry pie.

Alcohol + Ice Cream. Potentially problematic combo. I had a few pints then a banana milkshake once and that was rotten.

When I was drinking lots of alcohol never had a sweet tooth but since stopping I'm suddenly well into all sorts. Pretty keen on doughnuts atm.

Nah. I have something sweet occasionally, but I prefer a more savory snack

I always need balance, I eat something savoury then I need something sweet, then I need something savoury, then I need something sweet. It's a vicious cycle.

Haha yes agreed. I love crisps and the savoury stuff too. I can take both!!

Savoury. I only really love sweets or junk food with harsh or intense flavors. Salt licorice is my daemon.

Aael_111@reddit

I can enjoy sweet stuff, but I almost never crave it like I do savoury things. Like I'm never fussed for ordering a dessert in a restaurant, but if it comes as part of a 3 course deal or whatever I'll still eat it. If I was hungry I would never go for something sweet to satisfy me, would have to be savoury.

Still both, but a lot more savoury than sweet these days. I'll demolish a multipack of crisps in no time but a big chocolate bar will last me a week.

Definitely savoury. I have - or used to have - enough sugar in my multiple hot drinks each day that I don’t need a lot of sweet food.

Usually savoury but I do like fizzy strawberry laces or wine gums with cheese and onion crisps.

Prefer savoury overall. I would rather get a starter before a main than a dessert after for example

I love a bit of sweet stuff now and again but I'm more into my fatty, savoury treats. Cheese. I fucking love cheese.

Ahleanna-D@reddit

Savoury all the way. When I have sweet, it can’t be TOO heavy or sweet. Would much rather have trifle (or a quite spongey sticky toffee) pudding than a chocolate bombe. I quite like some of the cream cakes from Polish shops, especially the fruity ones.

As l have got older, I prefer savoury over sweet: crisps and other savoury snacks, cheese, nuts.

Savoury. I like some sweet things but I could only have one or the other, it would definitely be savoury.

Sweet all the way. I like crisps but I'd sacrifice them in an instant if I could eat cakes and chocolate all day and not gain weight.

Savoury every time. I’d rather have a cheese sammich or sausage roll than chocolate. It takes me 6 months to eat a small box of chocolate.

I don't eat many sweets or chocolate, but I can easily polish off a pack of cheese twists or any kind of cheese biscuits.

100% sweet tooth. Had to make a deliberate effort to cut them out. I’m talking sour stuff. Haribo Tangfastics, Moam Strips etc. Could see off whole packs with ease and was getting savage sugar crashes. My only sweet treat now is 85% dark chocolate.
