What do the housemates get when they're on staples? They grumble about it on and off, but surely it can't be *that* bad? I'm fairly certain they get:

*sardines
*lentils
*chickpeas
*rice
*prunes
*oats
*bread ingredients

...anyone know what else?
 
Well i suppose it depends on what you normally eat

The only things there that i would eat are the rice and bread

Also that's not much variety for at least a week sometimes longer....people on strict diets have been known to develop depression type symptoms
 
I would be fine on a staples diet. But I guess in a place like BB there is only so much to do and talk about that meal times would be a big thing, I would get over it.

I'd eat everything except the sardines...YUCK. After years of living alone, I became used to 2-minute noodles, grilled cheese on toast, baked beans, cup-a-soup, making easy-to-freeze meals & filling them with vegies and halving the meat to make them go further LOL...things have changed for the better now and I still feel a bit spoilt :P

[MENTION=33449]Goo[/MENTION]d metabolism - lucky you!! @strict diet...poor thing. I have to drink 2-3 litres of water a day due to medication-induced thirst, and not drink too much/too often, and that's bad enough LOL.
 
umm....its called 'stables'....stupids

Aside from the couple of little glances to make sure the camera was still watching her, I loved mikkaylas fake hamburger.....definitely something I would do lol
 
Well they seem to get tuna too ....

I'd love it if the OS would fill us in on what constitutes staples....

Back in the channel 10 days there was a list of what they were given on the site......i can't remember it but there was a lot more than what i thought
 
Staples sounds yummy to me, I love lentils, chickpeas & rice for dinner with a bit of caramelised onion, I can eat it for days.

And tuna, fuck I live on tuna, tuna mixed with good tabouleh (the one they make at charcoal chicken shops is great), yummy instant meal.

They should be making stuff like scones, bread & butter pudding, shit like that to fill them up a bit. They don't seem very creative and not into baking much.
Even damper with butter/jam is nice and that's just flour and water.

So much milk....make custard and stuff, milky puddings

I can't bear the smell of sardines - they make my tummy roll - and the thought of being around a household eating them is daunting (to me).

Also, I have never cooked with lentils or chickpeas. I'd be in trouble if I was stuck with those ingredients. I'd be "Hangry" all the time!!! LOL
 
I wonder too, if BB "has too" provide fruit and vegetables?
I remember Tim cutting up carrots and celery to munch on with the female intruders arrived, but I don't really recall any of them eating fruit.
 
They should only feed them bread and water if they lose the challenge. That way they'll be more irritable which means more drama. And they'd do crazier things to win the challenge.

I'm pretty sure root veggies are considered a staple but i think they do get fruit and veggies

From memory they also get spreads for toast, honey, eggs... It's quite a long list

It's really not as bad as it sounds, but they don't get to choose, so when it comes to things like toiletries where everyone has their own preferences it's just bad luck you use what they give you
