Anyone help me here, i'm trying to get a definitive list of all fruit and veg to find out just how much makes 1 portion (you know, of your 5 a day)

the government site lists about 5 different things as a portion - not exactly helpful (or maybe I just can't find it!)

thanks

it's ok, found what i'm after!!!!

[little blue]

One dollop of tomato ketchup
One glass cider
Baked beans (no, really!)
opal fruits

[Gordon M]

I'm pretty sure that cigarettes and coffee make up two of the 5 a day, well,,, in my house anyway!

I think a banana sandwich is one 

[Hilarysmum]

Is that a fried banana sandwich?  (Like Elvis)

[Rosemary]

I love a banana toasty, made in the toasty maker, with golden syrup. Mmm.

Still counts as one of the 5 a day.

Does Christmas cake - it has lots of fruit in it?

Terrys chocolate orange counts as 1 

[r+lchick]

Banana split must count for 2 or 3.  There's banana, nuts, cherry on top?  Now if you eat a whole trifle, that would definitely be your five a day.

Dixie, that's got to be the ultimate in wishfull thinking  
I always thought a portion (of whatever) was approx equal to a handfull

I love a banana toasty, made in the toasty maker, with golden syrup. Mmm.

try it with peanut butter instead - yum yum yum

That's what I thought too HappyHippy.  So the bigger hands you have the more fruit and veg you should eat.

[dixie]

In that case a chocolate orange must be 2 then, I've only got small hands

I thought a portion of fruit and veg in Scotland was, two burgers , two sausages and a mars  bar.....all in batter.
