The large plate is a Tupperware Lazy Susan, I found it on eBay a few years ago, it's so useful, everything comes off, there's two trays,one can act as lid. Three compartments and a dip bowl with lid. ' is Tupperware geek'
Its fab, I want one! Bring back the 80's! I want Tupperware Parties

I love this thread - it's helping to change my mind-set from 'How much will I gain over Christmas?' to 'Ooooh, I want to make that, and that, and that - must make loads of low syn/no syn snacks for Christmas!'
This is a goooooood change!

Fruit cake
1.5 syn per slice
1 lb mixed fruit = 64 syns
6 oz wholemeal sr flour = 27 syns
1tsp baking powder = 0.5 syns
1 beaten egg = Free
Total: 91.5 syns
So it would have to make 61 slices to be 1.5 syns a slice which I think is pretty unlikely

What about pizza slices?
I usually make my pizza with Weight Watchers tortilla wraps (5 syns each). Top with passatta, your favourite toppings and a HexA allowance of cheese. Bake in the oven for around about 10 minutes, or until the cheese looks nice and melted :drool:
Some of my favourite toppings are:
- Chicken and Sweetcorn
- Red Peppers, Red Onion, Tomato and Sweetcorn
- Ham and Pineapple
You could simply cut the 'pizza' into bite sized servings and voi la!
I have heard people also use Warburtons square bread/flatbread things for their pizza base. Heard these are nice too, but not sure of Syn value, sorry!

Oops, hadn't realised Chun-ky had already suggested smash/pitta garlic breads and pizzas. I suppose this is just another alternative

Stuffed peppadews!
I get those pickled Peppadews peppers.
Finely chop 1/4 - a 1/2 of a smallish onion (depends on how much onion you like), grate 47g low fat cheese on the smaller holes on your grater, and mix lot together with tbspn of VLF mayo. Stuff peppers - 1 HEA (or 6 syns) plus half a syn for the mayo. Should make about 10-12!
I'm going to try it out with 1 HEA of philly light, some chopped onions and maybe a bit of garlic blitzed together till smooth and stuffed in! I reckon that would make more
