What are your Yuck and Yum foods?

maxlinger60

What are the foods that make you wince? How about the ones that you can always count on?

Wildly enough, I used to be pretty flexible as a kid because of ADHD, but since getting a proper stimulant, I've become picky as hell. This is a problem, since I am a rather serious runner, and should probably know more about nutrition than I do, but since I haven't shown any deficiencies yet, I'm gonna keep on the way I'm going.

Foods I cannot get within a meter of:

  • meatloaf
  • mac n cheese (truly a shame, I know)
  • milk
  • protein shakes
  • any gooey dessert

Go-to meals:

  • uncrustables (arguably 50% of my diet)
  • egg and sausage sandwiches
  • any steamed veggie, but mostly broccoli and cauliflower
  • chicken nuggets
  • fries
  • beans and rice

I'd love to hear yours.

    I found that after fending for myself for 3 years through university I was able to eat almost anything without being as fussy as I was when younger. Being broke and hungry can motivate you to be very flexible in what you will try.

    A few things that seemed vile actually turned out to be really tasty - offal for example seems a horrendous concept but there are quite a lot of humble dishes here in Brazil that use things like the stomach of the cow that are incredubly tasty.

    The texture is something I long ago learned to overcome as the flavour is so good - probably down to the spices it is cooked in.

    When the same sort of dish is made in the UK (I think it is reffered to here as tripe) then my experience is that it is like slimy squares of wool cooked in walpaper paste. Spices never seem to come into the equation and the sauce is horrendous.

    When I lived in the UK we used to host supper club events to make some spare cash - they are like dinner parties where people pay to attend and we made all Brazillian dishes which made people try things they would not normally consider and these were a great success.

    A few people refused to try and a few were intolerant of some ingredients but on the whole it helped people reconsider the way they season their foods.
