Multanni Mitti eaters can you tell me what the texture is like because I think I may have eaten it before from an asian shop in Manchester. Is it the one that is khaki/yellow in colour, creamy and sticks in the mouth?

Looks like the images above? If that's it I will try and find out if they still sell it because it has been a while since I tried it.
That clay looks really good .

The clay looks like the picture I found a few weeks back and put up on the forum, here it is again. Certainly looks yummy!

I know! The clay in your link is from tanzania so I think it's the same. My one looks smaller though doesn't it. I'm thinking it will be super earthy in taste too!

It shouldnt be hard if you show them the facts and make them realise its not that abnormal. Show them this forum even! We all can understand the stigma but at the end of the day your own family shouldn't judge you. Try asking your mum first or whoever you feel closest to.
A lot of us are on this forum because we find it difficult to explain to our family that we crave dirt/clay. Some of us cannot even tell our mates. Yes we know our family should not judge us but saying it and experiencing it is not easy.
One question for you. Does your family know that you eat clay? We at one time thought it was awkward until we found this forum and felt accepted and realize we were not alone with our craving for clay.
@Alexx Maybe you can try some Iron Pill that will help you with the cravings. I started at a young age as well.Do you think your mom will buy you some if you explain to her that you might be anemic.
Anyway well wishes to everyone.

Yes my family know I eat clay. It's funny because I'm cool with eating it in front of female family members but not the male ones. Not all of them agree however but that's cool with me.

Anyone else find it easier with to divulge with females in general? Must be more understanding.

Other from my family the only other people that know are friends that I know eat it too.

@Mavu I think your next step should be to find a white dirt supplier then you'll be complete.(especially for us UK eaters)

I am quite liking the idea of having VARIETY in one place.

Received my two bags of clay from Leslie this morning, I was so excited. It has baked & now the bite sized chunks are just airing in the brown paper bags. Hopefully I can withstand this temptation for a few days lol Thanks Leslie!! It was an awesome deal :)
