I’ve learnt, in the last couple of days, that my eating, diet and food preferences are, in fact, a bit weird.
I like to drink milk with pizza. I also like milk right after a good feed of bacon & eggs. Weird, I know.
I actually like cottage cheese. Better when with carrot, celery or cucumber sticks; but I actually like the white, salty, lumpy, sometimes watery stuff called cottage cheese. I like the taste. I like that it is one of the best sources of protein available (and is also one of the lowest in fat). I don’t like the low fat version though – too watery. But the real cc is like 4% fat anyway – there’s no need to go any lower than that when you’re eating 100g per day.
I like peanut butter on salad sandwiches (oh how I long for a sanga on white bread) or wraps. Everybody thinks I’m weird for it, but it’s awesome! I highly recommend it to everyone I know, whether they like pb, or salad for that matter, or not. It adds a satay kinda flavour to the sanga, without being too strong. Was compelled to try it by my little cousin a few years ago and will readily admit to being skeptical at first but after one bite I was converted. And have been eating it ever since.
I like grapes, but not sultanas. I can not see, at all, how these two foods are related. Even remotely. Sultanas have the capacity to make me spew. They are one of the very few foods that I do not eat, and will not try. Except in raisin bread, of course.
I also hate, and will not eat dates, in anything or in any form.
I’m not much of a fan of dried figs either.
I like guava. More for the texture than the actual taste. I think they taste a little bit like nothing, but the texture is just so exquisitely different – seedy, fleshy, soft and firm all at once.
I like weird things in my salad. Grapes for example. Or green beans. I just like to try different combinations; which is why I make great salads.
I hate capsicum; or peppers as I came to know them in NI. But quite like creamy roasted pepper soup.
