The food I like

Bacon doesn't get mentioned until the end? You sicko!

bacon is reserved for week end breakfast and the occasional burger it appears on.

I love and could live on (and primarily do) a mixture of only the following foods:

cantaloupe
blueberries
peaches
watermelon
good apples
bananas
cherries
grapes
oranges
grapefruit (in season)
cheerios (plain kind- no honeynut or anything)
rye bread (especially toasted with butter)
poached eggs
summer squash
tomatos
salad
almonds
pecans
seafood (any type except oysters)
peanut butter and jelly (strawberry, peach, pear - NEVER GRAPE or RASPBERRY)
yogurt (black cherry, strawberry banana, blueberry, peach)
rice
beans
tea
water
beer
white wine

these are my staples-everything else is gravy....I liked eating in Mexico- great fruit and bread and rice and beans- perfect for me

Ms. Hedonist must rest.

i just realized how un-cultured i am. i dont know why i keep readin this, im starving literally sorta.

Well, I'm older, ogionik. And I didn't travel much, except to Mexico, which was nearby, until I was near 50. My love of food is partly from a few different kinds of deprivation when I was a kid, mixed with living in Los Angeles where there were many different kinds of not-expensive restaurants when I was an adult and actually getting a paycheck. I read about food and try cooking it as a kind of hobby. I live with low money yet again, and am not near as snotty as I sound with that list.

its not you, well sorta but it was me mainly

my list:

1. rice
2. thin meat
3. fruit i can get.
4. vegetables.
5. bread.

and im not kidding. damn im joining the military **** working to stay poor thats ridiculous.

i cant wait to finish college to be able to eat right.

Yeh, I didn't begin to get to go try different food until after college, never mind interest, there was no money, and no time since I worked. You have a big thing in your favor... you're curious.

Thin meat Is that like from skinny cows?

That may be because I have never tasted any.

76. bone soup
77. bell peppers
78. beets
79. coconuts
80. grapefruit
81. jello
82. waffles
83. sardines
