A natural way to answer

For me it's crisps. I can't really say no to them, especially in the evening when I'm watching something. I know they're not great, but a little now and then is fine, I think.

Key phrases to use

  • calls my name — (of food) is so tempting it feels like it is inviting you to eat it“That cake in the fridge is calling my name.”
  • now and then — occasionally; sometimes but not often“I have a treat now and then, not every day.”
  • a goner — someone who has no chance of resisting; doomed (used lightly here)“Once the dessert menu comes out, I'm a goner.”
