Main reason being Canola Oil;

^ That processing cycle doesn't look healthy. They even say small traces of those chemicals can still be found in final product but not labelled. And even if there aren't traces of those chemicals, accidents do happen. Among other controversy with Canola Oil. So you're better off playing it safe and sticking with cold pressed extra virgin (meaning not processed and without additives) or coconut oils. They taste much better too.

 

And like sugar (namely high fructose corn syrup), it's in everything these days too (ie. potato chips).

 

So that's why whenever I eat deep fried food I always feel like a train wreck and regret once again for not learning my lesson.

We only have two oils in this house, and they are used for different things. We have Coconut, and Olive. I miss my nut-based oils, but hey, I like having my wife around more, I wont feed her things she is allergic to

I have become almost paranoid in my suspicion of processed foods, However, this just means we make things from the basic ingredients more, so we end up with almost zero preservatives and sugars, and definitely with no inexcusable extras (like cardboard and plastic) in our diet. Everybody has their weaknesses though. For us, it's usually chocolate (it comes from a plant, so it is a vegetable! maybe even qualifies as a salad That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!).

... I have olive oil in my house and thats all haha

this is starting to get a little brosciency guys. Food is food, and everything has its place if used in proper quantities.
I'm going to get me one of those little Caesar stuffed crust deep dishes today. I'm so excited like I'm going on a first date.

[Arktinen]

Yep, fully agreeing here with Terminator, too. Pretty much anything that says 'refined' is out of my list.

As for the choc weakness, that's true, but even then, it gets quite selective. We read labels meticulously, applies to chocolates, as well. And no imported stuffs, I prefer local.

 

Sometimes living in a small country is a good thing - might not always find every ingredient easily or at all that I'd like, and things tend to be more expensive. But it also has an upside of smaller production capacities, less gmo meats, etc.. and our cattle farms are actually tiny compared to the main American and for example, Aussie ones. I've seen documentaries of those herds walking on the fields... just wow. (And rather not even think about the non-freely walking herds.) 'Hobby farms', hubby calls them here.

 

Another lucky side: there is not much cornsyrup or corn-anything added here, at least to the extent Dalakaar mentioned, and what I've come across abroad. It just isn't grown that much that it would be economically wise for the manufacturers to import and add it to everything.  Growing season is short here. Sure, you can grow corn, but it's not lucrative. Of course there are products that contain fructose or glucose syrups, but no need to buy them, so can be avoided as much as possible.

I just find it great that those processes utilized by the factories are shown more in articles and documentaries so people become more aware of what they are actually eating. Plastic, chemicals and cardboard doesn't have a place in my food.

... I dont see why companies cant just make what theyre supposed to... adding chemicals to preserve food is ok... adding flavor is ok too I think... but they shouldnt be processing anything or adding things to make their quality lower and their profits bigger... lets face it they could sell their products pure for the same prices and still be making money... its just because people are greedy that they do it...

Yeah, great testing food and the great outdoors is the main reason I miss the living I had in the small village I was raised in Cenad of Romania next to Hungary boarder. Most folks there raise and grow their own food. So everybody there knows how to cook really, really good multicultural food like Romanian, Hungarian, German and Yugoslavian.

 

 

^ That's the center of my village.

In a drunken stupor in the middle of one night before the roosters woke up while on vacation there, me and my drunk drinking buddy partner climbed that church statue because I thought it was the perfect place to take a leak off... best vacation ever.

Tomato salad with garden basilic and flowers.

Goat cheese was too strong, i had to put it away .

Old variety of yellow tomato

I ll be well hydrated for this afternoon MP session

[Onewomanarmy]

^ I love cheese, most of it but somehow I really dislike goat cheese, I cannot get used to that awful taste.

 

I think Emmentaler and Cheddar is one of my favorites. 

[iM3GTR]

Rich Teas and Digestives, chocolate or caramel ones when possible.

And when I'm really hungry, basically anything that fits down my throat, unless it's green. I say they nerf vegetables and patch the health benefits for sugar, especially in the glucose skill tree.

[Garrus' Eye]

It can be hard to get food for dextros around here, humans are all racist. However, when I can get it, I like to share dextro-chocolate after a mission with Quarians. Then we can swap stories about killing Geth. Nobody appreciates shooting Geth in the flashlight like a Quarian.

My favorite cheese is mozzarella It sounds posh and Italian... it doesnt taste of much alone but I make my own pizzas so it goes nice on them

[Salarian Jesus]

My usual diet: lots and lots of chicken breast, sweet and normal potatoes (baked, not fried), brown rice, bulgur, pretty much anything made with wholegrain flour, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, grilled asparagus (when possible), all kinds of grilled mushrooms, some fruits and quite a lot of water (4-5 litres a day). And beer, sometimes. I enjoy cooking.

 

Sweet potato FTW

There s quite the range for goat cheese. The very fresh one is almost like milk with a small taste. Then all stage of maturation and environment. I love most of them

Oh I love milk. Perhaps I just haven't tried the right brand or type of goat cheese yet, that's why I didn't like it. I've only tried it twice!! Lol

When goat cheeses are very dry the taste can be very strong and perhaps not great for people not accustomed to it (french people like Alfonse and I are genetically programmed to eat cheeses ). But as Alfonse said, fresh goat cheeses almost taste as soft as milk, with just a litlle pinch of strongness. 

[GeneralXIV]

... I dont like goats cheese... it tastes of goat!!! Ive never tasted a goat but it tastes like a goat and it isnt a nice flavor... goats milk also tastes like goat...

 

... I think you can make your own coconut milk cheese or something like cheese which is dairy free and I might try that... vegan cheese I guess???

hummmm, i love goat meat, goat milk and goat cheese

Coconut milk cheese sounds nice too, but u ll need some kind of leaven/yeast at some point

[GeneralXIV]

Yes I think so ive found a recipe for vegan/dairy free quesadillas... im totally gonna try it  im not a vegan (yet anyway) and I can have dairy but that isnt gonna stop me haha

All this cheese talk is making me sad

Emmental is one of the greatest gifts to man, right up there with the Claymore. But it makes me sick to eat it.

I'm not just talking about any annoying kind of bathroom breaks afterwards. I mean sick, like nausea and feeling faint and stuff. I still try occasionally, because that flavour is just divine, but it's never a good outcome.

I found a really nice goat cheese here from Holland at some point that I could eat, and didn't taste too much of old socks (I like strong cheese, but I have a limit), but then they must've been having some problems with the transport of packaging, because things that weren't cheese started growing in their packs. I haven't bought it since.

It seems the only cheeses I can easily eat are those not-matured flavourless things that shouldn't even be called cheese (like Cheddar, and Gouda, and Edam), they should be called Wimpy Cheeses.
