Foods of which you Tire and Foods of which you Never Tire

[isha]

Making minestrone this morning for eating later and I thought I really never grow tired of minestrone. I could eat it every day.

I also return almost daily to poached eggs on spelt bread toasted and I always enjoy it.

Similarly potatoes with salt and butter. I could eat them every day also mmmmmmm.

But porridge. Even though I make lovely porridge with fruit and nuts and cinnamon there always comes a day when I get a strong sudden gag reflex while eating porridge and I have to leave it alone for a while.

Apple tart the same. Love it and then loathe it suddenly.

I also suddenly felt like getting sick this week half way through one of those Wispas with the caramel layer. I've no objections to chocolate per se- but if you showed me one of them Wispas now I would feel positively queasy.


Your eternal likes and suddenly can't stands??

Fish Finger sandwiches - I haven't had one in years but now I feel the urge and I have none in the fridge. In this heat a two mile round trip to the nearest supermarket is not happening. Poached eggs, scrambled eggs, fried eggs - even boiled eggs - never tire of them. Almost every type of chocolate but I have gone right off an old favourite - Wagon Wheels - as the chocolate has become very chemical and has little of its original addictive flavour.

[PogMoThoin22]

I've an addiction to cheese, I eat it every single day

[isha]

Yep Wagon wheels are gone weird
I ate some camembert while I had Covid and it tasted absolutely horrible. Normally I love it but I don't know if I can eat it again now that I know it's dark side.

Quiche. The one food I can't stand. Even writing the word makes me want to retch

Love - Swiss chocolate, toast with proper butter and anything with gravy on it.

Hate - salads, seafood and oysters - the latter of which my dear departed father described as “like eating someone else’s snot off a beer mat”.

The man was a poet!!!

Oysters must qualify as one of the most revolting foods out there.

[CelticRambler]

'Tis all very black and white for me: either I like something, and will eat it as often as it comes my way, or I don't like it at all and make every effort to avoid eating it. For the most part, because I try to eat "seasonally" I'd usually eat a lot of the same thing for days or weeks on end (currently about two weeks into eating at least half a dozen plums every day) ... and then not eat that fruit or vegetable for ages.

Right now, though, the challenge is to eat anything, coz it's too fekkin hot, day and night.

They are the food of kings, along with lobster.

Not sure the dietary habits of inbreds are a great pattern to follow.



Scones. Freshly baked. This hot weather has provided me with unwelcome quantities of sour milk, so greater-than-average quantities of scones have been getting made. A great way to use up a load of last year's strawberry jam too, and free up some jars for this year's plum jam.

I could eat cashews and pistachios till the cows come home. Also roast beef done properly with all the trimmings, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding gravy etc… I would make nearly every day if I had the time(which was proven during the lockdowns xp)

[isha]

Love me some scones and a proper dinner with all the trimmings.
Mint tea is a herbal tea I never tire of, thank goodness, because every other herbal tea I have to give long breaks if I use it for a while, no matter how fancy they are. If I get sick of mint tea I will be in trouble.

Scone with loads of butter, jam and squirty cream out of a can!!!!

Get thee behind me, Satan!

[isha]

I've never used canned cream. I better not start!

I’m common as muck and proud of it!!!!

Love mashed potatoes served on a plate with a few decent knobs of butter slowly melting into pools of heart-attack on top, a pinch of sea salt and a light dusting of white pepper. In my living memory I can’t recall or imagine a time when that hasn’t appealed to me.

I tire of meat dishes more easily these days. The price of premium quality meats is horrific when I factor in the expense of getting to a butcher ever since the local one retired and had nobody to take over, and the quality of anything that doesn’t hurt the wallet at least a little is even worse from the alternatives. Poultry in particular is awful IMHO. Processed meats are fairly dire anyway, but the supermarket stuff is something I avoid whenever possible anyway. Pity really.

Otherwise I’m with PlaneSpeeking. Really dislike salads (happy to eat my fruit and veg to be clear) and refuse to eat seafood and shellfish.

It's funny, my daughter's German partner goes mad for mashed potatoes when he is here as if they are a really special treat (I like them too) but I sometimes wonder why he can't just mash his potatoes every day? Maybe it's Irish butter and milk that makes them taste better?

I'm also remembering now how much minced meat we ate as kids in a big family in the 70s/80s when a country knew how to do a proper recession. God I ended up loathing it. Can't bear to even see it now.

When I was in university I ate so much Country Store - it was my staple diet - that I feel ill at the thought of it now. Especially that last bit in the bag that was mostly sugar. I must have had worms

Whipped cream from a can is the bee's knees.

[The Kitchen Sink]

In fact I'd say it's the bees knees, the cat's pyjamas and the dog's bollocks all rolled into one. I'd eat it all the god damn time if I could do so without getting stoopid type 2 diabetes. Boooo to type twooo.

[isha]

I've never tried it in fairness, but I can't imagine that it is actually, well, cream...is it?

[isha]

Apparently it is! Almost all cream plus carrageenan and nitrous oxide

I should try it out.

I'm sure there's some cream in there but I'd imagine a lot of additives and chemical accoutrement go into it.
