I have such a narrow range of things that I eat I am so bored of food. I need ideas of how I can make new combinations of what I eat.
I normally do roasts, spaghetti Bolognese, quiche, pie
I like stew but I got a slow cooker for Christmas and cooked a disastrous one.
I don't like anything too spicy. I eat v mild curry. If I have Chinese I always order the same.
I don't like the taste of alcohol.
I eat:
Broccoli, carrot , green beans, as long as they are cooked within an inch of their lives
Peppers, courgette, onion if cooked til not crunchy
Potatoes
Meat as long as it doesn't look like it comes from an animal
Cheese
Eggs
Pasta
Cereal
I like fresh bread but I don't like sandwiches unless they are toasted
Your diet seems similar to mine - if you actually think about it, you can come up with thousands of combinations for all that just by swapping them around. Just think of potatoes - roasties, chips, boiled, mashed, baked, hashed, dauphinoise etc. etc. Then add the meat - mince, burgers, corned, battered etc - add the veg and you've got a year's worth right there - then there's all the combinations of omelettes, casseroles, pasta dishes etc. and you're good to go. Cheese on top of anything makes it better.
Why not look online at restaurant menus and see what gets your mouth watering that's made with the ingredients you like?
