That's really interesting and just shows what a strange beast the mind actually is.
At this precise moment, I cannot for the life of me think of what I dont like to eat.
I know there are things, but can I come up with anything? Nope.
:rotfl:
I have yet to find something I don't like aswell:o:o0 -
Oh no just realised it's Friday :eek:Friday for me in my house is takeaway night:eek: this is going to be a real test of my willpower turning a takeaway down:(
indian and chinese are ok
get something with rice, tandoori meat from the Indian (no sauce), steamed chicken with cashews from the Chinese0 -
Watch chinese, it has a lot of hidden sugar and flour (sauce thickeners). Make the house have an Indian. Easy peasy. Chicken curry (korma good, as are quite a few like madras, but not dansack - too many lentils). Spinach and cheese (mater paneer) or aubergine/okra etc. No rice. If you really want rice make some cauliflower rice (blitz raw cauli in a processor, stir fry for a few minutes with some spices). Easy peasy. No need to break the diet.0
