Then you'll not have heard of it, because Newcastle isn't Northumberland. That's Tyne and Wear. Northumberland is a little more north, on the boarder with Scotland.
Oh I have heard of it. I thought Newcastle was part of it though. I know where Northumberland is, well -ish the on;y thing I know much about from there are your pipes.
I've also read that humans have a taste for sweetness because the main source of sweetness in the wild is fruits, so sweetness is a signal that vitamins and other scarce nutrients are in the food. I don't actually know if this is accurate. And I'm not sure how it would mesh with the fact that milk is sweet - does the sweetness of milk in babyhood train mammals to seek the sweetness of fruit later in life? But, anyway, it's of course no longer a remotely productive instinct, since now it just inspires us to gobble nutrient-free sugars.
Haggis is actually so damn good if you get it from the right place. If you're squeamish, you're missing out.
In London you have to go shops like Harrods to get the real thing and it is expensive. I am not sure I can eat something that has too much blood. I don't like 'bloody'meat..yuk"!!
Uhm.. blood? Maybe you're thinking of a different thing. Haggis is made from oats, organ meat(liver, lung, heart) and spices.
Oh right...isn't there a sausage that contains lot of blood that is usually included in an English Breakfast? I must be confusing it. I got it. I am getting confused with black pudding.
Most of what I eat is a shake made from raw eggs, banana, some other fruit, milk and yogurt mixed together in a blender. Sometimes add chocolate syrup for something new. I eat other things at Friday night dinner with the family. From time to time, I'll heat up a big bowl of frozen veggies. Favourite veggies would have to be spinach and brussel sprouts.
The nearby grocery store doesn't have much in the way of fresh veggies that I like. Sometimes I manage to find asparagus. Every once in a while I might buy some fruit. However, the shake I drink contains almost everything you actually need in a diet, there's nothing unhealthy in it, and my diet gets rounded out when I'm at my parents place for family dinner. Sometimes I eat a high fibre cereal in the morning. I cook for myself, I know how to. It isn't difficult. Sometimes I'll make a big pot of stew, chili or soup and freeze a bunch of it, eat it over a month. Makes for cheap living. Now that I think about it, though... I want watermelon.
The shakes youmake are all cold. I am talking more warm food. Stews are pretty good and cheap too. I cannot eat a lot of fruits in winter I prefer warm food as oppose to light salads and brunches in the summer.
yes... at 57, i suddenly became a moral vegetarian and a total teetotaler... after a lifetime of loving to eat most of the yummy things that moved; decades of sporting minks, lynx, leather, and assorted other former fellow animals' vital parts; and enjoying imbibing an ever-changing assortment of alcoholic beverages from the age of 14...
mamma..you are too harsh on yourself everthing in moderation is fun..why stop enjoying things you like
In Central America most people eat rice & beans with a corn tortilla. Three meals a day. Every day. Few exceptions. I lived that way for two years in the Peace Corps and became dependant on the stuff. If we had a meeting in the capital and I went a few days without rice and beans I craved it terribly. Not just me but other volunteers said the same. Strange how your body adapts to something when that's all it eats. Apart from an urge to eat meat once in a while, I never felt better than when I was on this diet. Rice and beans form a complete protein when eaten together and it is strangely filling and satisfying. After thousands of plates I never grew tired of the stuff either. The locals who have eaten it all their life seem healthy, although it does lack some basic nutrients and vitamins. But an occasional fruit or vegetable fixes that. Sometimes I would like to go back to that diet and still crave a good plate of rice and beans even now after 5 years.
I'll eat it but I'm not a fan of it. Unless someone else has prepared the meal I'll use vegetarian substitutes instead of actual red meat. Sushi does not always contain raw ingredients - perhaps you're thinking of sashimi? I'll eat raw food as long as it looks/smells okay (I'm incredibly paranoid after getting sick from shellfish a few years ago).
