I somehow can't imagine Eddy Yeats or Stan Ogden opting for poached chicken breast and a green salad.

very sensible proposal, we all tailor our eating habits around those of soap characters don't we?

[murraymints]

nowt wrong wi' reet wee bit o' 'otpot !!

[weecalf]

Would it not be better if they took boranation ,leastenders and the like off the screen that way we would not know or care what they were munching

[Buenchico]

Wouldn't replacing the side serving of chips with 'veg of the day' be sufficient?

And 5 or 6 pints ofNewtn + Ridley's stout to wash it down would scarcely make any impression on the waistline.

I imagine the new, thrusting metrosexuals and burdz with the magic marker eyebrows on their hard faces who have been parachuted into t'soaps since I last watched them will influence the menu in a positive way.
You can't guzzle pastry and beer then expect to fit into those clothes.
Skinny latte, hold the biscotti etc.

Are they going to shut Ian Beale's chippie then?

(Has he still got it?)

[Copacetic]

The most annoying part of food in soaps is no one ever eats the food

[Hopkirk]

It's probably unfit for human consumption, Copacetic.

Not stored in hygienic conditions etc.

Gosh! Clarrie Grundy will have a breakdown when her menfolk see the menu and I think The Bull will go out of business! I copy the menus slavishly, naturally, so OH may starve too. :(
