My Italian MiL used to give bread with everything. And olive oil and salt. No sugar in sight. In fact all our boyfriends were weaned off sugar too, as mum never used it either. Nor salt!

I have an aunt who was known for her ability to sort out teens in meltdown. Cousins would be sent to her for a anything from a day to all the school holidays to sort themselves out. Part of her therapy was a regular dose of little chef pancakes. I am now willing to admit that my pre GCSE meltdown wasn't quite as big as I made out..... In my defence it was the only way I'd have been allowed.

One of the reasons he had heart attacks, although they were probably as likely to have been due to his heavy smoking.
