    I am wondering in light of us all being different, is there one food that everyone loves/likes, obviously it can't be meat due to vegetarians, it has to be reasonably healthy due to folks that only eat healthy, my initial guess was jelly lol but I know Zand don't do jelly, so is there anything that EVERYONE eats? Lettuce? Cabbage? Mushrooms? Is there a food that unites our differences? A stoopid question? Lol probly!

    I get antsy if there are no eggs in the house. They might be considered a superfood, but I don't think Zand likes them.

    What about ice cubes? Very versatile. Good for pain relief or popping in your gin.

    Yeh, it's my own fault for consuming far too many artificial sweeteners in the past.....now I'm older, wiser and fatter. Smile

    lol I can see this thread is going to expose just what a fussy eater zand is! I'll go with the ice cubes, very good for making a drink of sparkling water more special.

    Eggs, avocados, butter ...

    I like spring onions, probably don't get them enough. They're great BBQd but someone will probably tell me now that destroys all their benefits (except taste lol).

    OK back to super foods then. I agree that eggs are extremely nutritious, practical and good value for money. But how do you guys actually manage to eat them? They are disgusting! They taste awful, look awful, smell awful and the texture is disgusting. Yuck....how can anyone put that in their mouth? I feel sick at the thought of it....then there's the fact that they are just a hen's period!

    I still wish I liked them but I guess I never will........and it's got nothing to do with the wooden spoon.

    That's worrying because I don't like half of those! How do you make yourself like the taste/texture/smell/look/thought of something? I would really like to eat everything on that list, but I can't. Sad

    Zand, the list of what you don't like is longer than a Jew's memory. Have you considered the possibility you are supporting the wrong football team.
