    Offal. I've tried it and tried it but it's minging (generally, although I didn't mind that chicken heart I ate once).


    I had chicken livers on a bed of salad last night, with a slice of white supermarket own brand bread.

    Followed by home made apple pie, and instant custurd.

    I feel like erm someone with a pulse

    I like three of the foods you listed and happily eat them. The other two I don't particularly like eating so since it's my choice which foods I eat, I choose not to eat them.

    I also don't like avocado or olives for some reason. I wish I did, I think they're exactly the sort of thing someone like me would eat, but I still don't like them. There's very little food-wise that I won't try at least once though (creepy-crawlies excepted, I'd like to think I would try them but I'm scared of them enough, never mind putting them into my mouth!).

    Nothing, there is stuff i don't like, but essentially all food is good for you (hence why it is called food)
    Its just the amount and timing I tend to watch, and try and keep it as close to natural as possible, so most things are made from scratch

    ...in spite of malnutrition.

    Quite

    Sounds like someone is trying to justify their 'healthy' diet to me
  • Well, just a little gentle humour on my part.

    Seriously though, in a world where we have a choice of more foods than any other group of human beings in history, it seems an odd choice to make.

    Wheat, rye, barley, oats & whole grain rice and I have cut right down on sugar (jams etc).
