Foods I cannot live without:
- Tomatoes because is it good but also used in other foods I like.
- Cherries, strawberries, blueberries, honey dew melons. Basically fruit.
- V8 juice.
- Pizza.
- Bread/Bagels.
- Rice.
- Crab: Crab cakes, crab pretzels, crab dip, crab pizza, and just crabs. Even imitation crab, haha.
- Cream cheese.
- Chocolate soy milk.
- Veggie, soy, and turkey versions of foods like veggie/turkey burgers, turkey dogs, soy milk. Yum.
- Sushi.
- Salmon.
- Spinach.
- Olives.
- Yogurt, yogurt cheese. I need my probiotics.
- Chocolate.
-
- Tteok – korean rice cakes. Real rice cakes, not the cardboard-like stuff that Americans picture when they think of rice cakes.
- Grits with butter and salt.
- Miso soup.
- Pajeon ("korean pancakes", "korean pizza), especially haemu pajeon, (해물파전) which is seafood pajeon. The kind with squid is my favorite. Great with soy sauce. Yum!
Foods I cannot stomach:
- Beef and pork. I have not eaten either since 2006. I would literally get sick if I ate these again.
- Mayonnaise "salads" that are not meat-based. For example, potato salad and coleslaw. When my parents tried to make me eat these, I would literally gag. I couldn't even swallow these. It's like my body was saying "no". But tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. are great.
- Onions, except for baked onion rings or maybe in some soups or in salsa. I know onions are good for you, but I don't like them. Even when I take the onions off, I can still taste them and it just ruins the food for me.
- Green peppers. Most peppers just taste like ear wax to me (don't ask, haha). Another food that I probably should eat for its health benefits, but don't like.
- Most fried foods. I used to be able to eat a lot of these but now it makes my stomach feel bad. I basically limit myself to fried rice and fried fish sandwiches. But it depends on the restaurant because sometimes I can't even have the fish sandwich from certain places. I get my crab cakes baked now and I actually like it better and it's also healthier. When I make french fries, mozzarella sticks, fish sticks, etc. I bake them.
- Root beer. Tastes like toothpaste mixed with soda.
- Coors Light beer. I'd rather be sober than drink this. I can drink Natty Boh and Pabst Blue Ribbon, but no Coors Light.
- Rum. I can have a little, but I usually just stay away from it altogether. I won't even have had enough to be drunk, but I will hurl and have a bad stomach ache.
