Lately? Nothing has sounded good. Every time I go to the store I ask “what do you want me to make for dinner?” Nobody knows. Nobody cares. We’ve been like this since about a year after Covid. We never had Covid. We can taste food. We get hungry. But I know I eat about half of what I used to. The desire to eat is gone. It’s so weird because it’s all 4 of us. Tomorrow or Saturday I’m going to make chili. I’ll probably wind up giving most of it to my adult kids.
I agree. Lately I can't even cook properly. Everything I used to make doesn't seem to turn out anymore. I literally could not make pancakes the other day - I threw them all out. I cook from scratch all the time and lately staple ingredients like flour just are not working anymore. I don't get it.
Even though countless groups of humans around the world have traditionally eaten insects of many types from various specues of beetle grubs, to termite-, ant- and bee larvae, to pressed gnat cakes, to large grasshoppers, crickets, etc., and numerous non-insect arthropods like tarantulas, I personally have a thing about NOT deliberately eating those things!
However, we all eat them inadvertently since virtually ALL flour products contain some microscopic ground-up insect parts. And then there is the strictly accidental consumption. . . just the other day a fruit fly (I think) flew into my mouth and hit the back of my throat too far back to cough or spit it out again. So I had no realistic choice except to just swallow it. But it will be a "cold day in hell" before the likes of Klaus Schwab gets me to deliberately eat cricket meal or meal worms!!!! Let's see HIM eating them (and I would hope he chokes on them, too!). YOU can GO TO HELL, Schwab!!!!!!
Another great set Amy, thanks! Great way to start the day. As for food interests I used to eat everything but now that gluten is my kryptonite, I’m wary of trying things I don’t know what has been mixed in. I also try to avoid more seafood bottom feeders. Too much pollution anyhow. Have been curious about raw meats since watching Max Kane on the highwire I think a year ago, but haven’t worked up to it yet. Have not tried bugs, but I did not trust any of the sources when I was in china, Indonesia some years ago and had an opportunity.
Amy can we have 2 categories? Foods you have never eaten and foods you will never eat again?
I have never eaten octopus (they are smart and probably aliens who live int he ocean) and beets (the kind that lie bleeding on the plate). Dogs, bugs, and stuff like that.
I still cook; it still seems to work. My grandmother used to complain that chickens didn’t taste good anymore (since the Great Depression or factory farming or something), but I haven’t noticed a similar change. But I buy from pretty small meat producers so something could be up with the big ones and I wouldn’t know.
I mostly use olive oil, preferably from California where I can trust it was made from olives. Seed oil is bad news and is the only thing I can think of that could ruin a pancake or so many diverse foods for someone.
I never drink diet soda though my husband has tons of it in the house. I adore salmon roe, sushi, and avocados. I eat a lot of cooked and smoked salmon as well.
Dad used to talk about onion and tangerine sandwiches being a good combo. I never tried it. Dad made oatmeal with wheat berries every Saturday morning, and he made sure to grow his rhubarb so Mom would make some rhubarb pies. Mom always thought he should be a more active (in my life) but in the end he was actually a good Dad. Christmas fruitcake was a weakness, but I loved watching Mom make it and then get mad at him for eating it all.
Thanks for the laughs, guffaws & groans, Amy. Gotta say the US made the Taliban safe for Afghanistan.
(But we still have poor, starving folks & increasing numbers of US homeless so there's that trade-off.) And maybe you could do a compilation of anti-(so-called) covid memes/funnies if you haven't so far.
( Didn't check out your posts so will do that now to see if you've done scamdemic cartoons/memes. )
Kinda funny toon below ... altho there are no viruses & therefore no possible variants of a "no virus".
(Re: poll, I'm late to this table but only cake & spicy foods appeal to me - got that spicy & sweet tooth together - but want them to be organic & not riddled with mucho toxic chemicals or dyes. Hopefully.)
Friday Funnies
I thoroughly enjoyed your FUNNIES! Thank you, I needed that.

Raw fish. NO RAW FISH.

Speaking English may spread the virus...LOL!

Never again...horsemeat...too tough.

But I like the sarcasm, though.
