Avoiding doing homework, so I thought I'd throw out a silly question for my flist:
What are your weird food quirks? Any strange combinations? Weird comfort foods?
My strange meal of late has been brown rice and cottage cheese, sometimes combined with scrambled eggs, and usually topped with a sprinkling of Bacos and freshly ground pepper. Not sure why this works for me, but it does.
A few other weird things:
I always have to have honey on Grape Nuts. No regular sugar. And I don't put honey on any other cereals (though it does go well with English muffins.)
Of late, have lost interest in carbonated soft drinks, with the exception of Pellgrino, which is what I order almost every time we go out, if the restaurant has it.
I also love nuts, with one exception: I detest cashews. I'll eat them if they're in a handful of mixed nuts or trail mix, but I don't seek them out. I prefer almonds and hazelnuts instead, and can eat vast quantities of the latter.
I don't like spicy Mexican food or chili, but I love Szechuan, and love slathering egg rolls in Chinese mustard. I also like spicy Indian food. I guess there's just something different about the chiles used in Asian cuisine that works for me when they don't work in fattier foods.
