I am still trying to eat more savoury food and less sweet and my body is working on the adjustment. But I must admit that I have got a little sidetracked by having my uncle and aunt here from Zambia with several group meals here and at my sister’s home. Within all that celebratory eating, I have tried to stick to what I know to be kind to my body but haven’t completely succeeded. I definitely suffer when I go off the rails but sometimes it is worth it. Well, almost. But it is my choice and I certainly understand the consequences now.
These chicken bread bites are completely low FODMAP friendly and perfect with a glass of wine. I got the inspiration for this recipe from here.
My uncle and aunt enjoyed their stay here so much (after 23 years away) that they have decided to sell up in Zambia and come here to live. I am helping them sell their fishing lodge and game farm on the Zambezi River and would love to hear if any of you know of someone who might be interested in buying it. If so, get in touch with me through my contact page. I have posted another photo of their lodge at the bottom of the post. They also have a website here if you want to see more: https://zambiangamefarmforsale.wordpress.com/

Big change for your uncle and aunt. And you’re a brave girl, I am trying to put my sweet tooth on a side, but it’s not easy…
I keep falling off the wagon though, Marta. I have to be stronger!
Love these little chicken bread bites as a nibble with a glass of wine!
They work really well also as an accompaniment for dinner, as mini-bread rolls.
These little chicken bites look great! Perfect for an appetizer. I hope your aunt and uncle sell their property soon and the whole process is nice and easy!
I don’t imagine it will be easy to sell the property – it’s rather a specialist field. I must find some agencies outside of Africa which deal with finding their clients game farms. Google is my friend!
Oh! These chicken bites look and sound delicious, they kind of remind me of the Brazilian cheese bread, maybe because of the tapioca flour…
I will love to give this a try…great for entertaining…
Hope you are enjoying your week Suzanne 😀
The idea is based on the Brazilian cheese bread. Anything with tapioca flour is a great favourite of mine.
These look like a great appetiser and I imaging you can make them using chicken mince as well? Good to hear you’ve had a lovely time with your uncle and aunt xx
Chicken mince would work well but there would be less lumps of chicken in them. It depends how you prefer them.
I had a great time with them but I was exhausted by the time they left because of the late nights. But it was well worth it.
These look soooo good… but I am confused about the ingredient: milk? Does it lose the FODMAP issue when it is cooked? Or is there FODMAP folks that can handle milk?
Karissa, only 25% of people with Fodmap malabsorption have an issue with lactose. They will know that milk for them means lactose-free milk. For clarity, I will add that in brackets.
