If I did not have Asperger's and the problems I have, I should really have entered market food research. I have always been obsessed (in a good way!) with food, and like to ask people what their favourite sandwich filling is at the moment. I try to contain myself most of the time because I realise this is a random question, and want to appear as normal as possible. But as we are all a bit 'atypical' here, I don't think I need to worry that the question is strange
So what are your favourite sandwich fillings?
What is your favourite brand of bread, and why?
I like cheese and tomato, fish salad, marmite salad, and houmous salad best.
My favourite bread is from the bakery counter at M and S, M and S wholemeal mini sub rolls, Allinson sliced bread, and seeded bread.
This made me smile.
I have three food related degrees, and today at work was pretty typical with several random questions about food related subjects in my inbox to sort out.
I teach health professional groups how to discuss and advise lifestyle changes and my courses always get highly rated because I focus on food rather than nutrients in the nutritional discussion.
I entered my first baking competition in the NZ version of the WI at age 5, was cooking for my parent's visitors from overseas at age 12 and won a highly commended award in a regional food competition against chefs age 17.
Food adventures include developing a wholegrain gluten free bread recipe to bake at home.
On sandwiches, I'm currently doing a run of cold meat, beetroot and carrot coleslaw and sweet chilli pickle on a heavy grain rye bread...but I'm hanging out for the first of my spring greens
