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.

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.
