Food 2015-01-16

Authored mainly by Alex & Brown, who keep better track of what I eat than I do

Things I do not eat

Some of these are for digestive reasons (D), some gustatory (G), some ethical (E). TTBOMK none are actual allergies, but 'digestive' means anything from cramps to diarrhea.

• D alfredo sauce (and other things with heavy cream)
• D apricots in any form
• D cranberry juice
• D cumin (and therefore e.g. curry)
• D dried mango
• D figs
• D pine nuts (and therefore e.g. standard pesto)
• DG coconut water, coconut flesh (but coconut milk is OK)
• DG dried banana
• DG fennel, anise, licorice, caraway (anything licorice-like)
• DG horseradish
• DG scones
• DG vinegar as dominant flavor (exception: good in ice cream)
• E anything with meat or meat products (including [regular] gelatin, rennet, fish, etc)
• G almonds
• G apple skin
• G bagels without cream cheese
• G celery
• G cow milk (as a drink)
• G eggs as dominant flavor
• G raw carrots (for their texture)
• G raw zucchini
• G unsweetened tea
• G white chocolate; much milk chocolate

Things I particularly enjoy

This is definitely neither exclusive nor mandatory: see it not as a list of restrictions but an "easy ways to make Sai happy" list. It is a work in progress.

• unusual food, especially mixtures of sweet and savory and/or multiple textures / mouthfeels
• fresh, whole blueberries (only whole; frozen or as flavoring is just OK)
• dark chocolate (especially as shaved hot chocolate)
• strong ginger beer (e.g. Blenheim red cap)
• fresh peaches & nectarines (with pits removed)
• grilled cheese sandwiches
• bagels with cream cheese
• syrok
• kunāfah
• gnocchi
• cilantro
