Yummy, yummy, yummy I've got toast in my tummy.
I like good food. I really do. Alas, I never remember it very well, and have a pallette that has taken quite a hammering for one so young. I probably don't taste food as well as other, fatter people, but I still love it. And I eat anything, but remember very little about the specifics of what I've eaten, which often leaves one feeling inadequate when making remarks such as 'Is this one a cashew nut?' or, 'What's that cooking style called, when you put stuff into a hot box with metal coils inside? Y'know, people do it with bread and pop-tarts.'
I also like crap food. Today, I'm eating toast, with processed cheese slices, and some heritage chicken slices, with a bit of green label cutney on. I ate a Burger King the other day, cos I like em. And fried chicken. And 99p Ginos Pepperoni pizza. Had a pot noodle on saturday. All of these foods are great. If I am what I east, then I'm cheap and ready-made. What about everyone else? Does anyone else like crap food, and have particular favourite crap foods. (Staggs chili doesn't count, cos that's haute cuisine)

Tesco value ready salted crisps and mango chutney
when in california I spent several weeks drinking 'superchoc' (or something equally crapply named) to see, after about the fourth week, that I was not drinking chocolate milk but, 'a product resembling milk'. After reading the ingredients, and regretting the 20 or so litres of the stuff I had consumed that month, I found that 'superchoc' resembled milk in much the same way as I resemble the Notorious B.I.G.
Tinned ham is shit meat, too rough to be considered for spam, but I love it. Sunny D is coma-inducingly unnatural and all the better for it. Caramacs are officially (I have checked) about the worst food for you on the planet but, thanks to a colleague, I am hooked on them. Ingredients include fat, tar and battery acid
I don't eat crap food, but I do have a samey diet: pasta and sauce, jacket potatoes, lots of bread with ham and cheese. I can't remember the last time I ate chips.
When I return to the farm, I eat a meat-based meal every night (usually cow from the farm) with veg from the allotment. You can't get much more organic, without chewing off your own leg.
I eat well now, and drink less, exercise more, feel good. Social life is shit though.
You want to watch that cutney Iain. It'll fuck you up.
