Given Up

[fiat_knox]

Two things I have given up on.

Bread.

Potatoes.

Let me clarify the exceptions to the above.

I will eat pitta bread, rice cakes, tortilla wraps and cream crackers. I just don't eat bread, in whatever form - not even rolls or bread sticks. Church crackers, I'd have no trouble with ... except I no longer do that eating the cracker thing.

Potatoes, I won't eat. No chips, mash, fritters or those scallopy things. Not even roasters. Though I will, once in a blue moon, have crisps.

If anyone asks, they will find that I haven't eaten bread and spuds since the start of July; haven't had cheese and chocolate for at least thirteen, fourteen years; and I haven't had rhubarb since I was fourteen, nor blackcurrant since I was a baby.

But the good news is, I believe I am able to consume pecans and pistachios, which I infinitely prefer to the usual fare of peanuts / Brazils etc. Oh, and hazelnuts.

Autumn is approaching. Hazelnuts. Yum.

Breads: I only eat Wholemeal but that may change dependent on the price hikes.
Potatoes: Hmmn couldn't live without my Roast Hedgehogs, and I don't think the kids could either :D

But Good Luck with it Buddy

Thanks

When they find that they can post me throuugh a letter box, and Jarvis Cocker looks fat next to me, I will let you know.

But you'll all know that already, because by that time if I stand sideways and stick out my tongue, I'll look like a walking zip. And standing face on and smiling, the smile might be the only thing you'll be able to see of me.

I hope. *cross fingers* *grins*

I could never live. I could go without meat for months at a time so long as I have my starches.

Starches

I have butter beans for that. Cannellini beans, broad beans, haricots.

I love beans. Oh, and rice. Good sources of carbs, but they don't sit in the stomach like bread.

Bread, rice and potatoes are my staples, though polenta (corn meal) is also quite tasty. Especially the home baked bread or brown rice mixed with wild rice.
