Sorry this is a few days later than I'd hoped. Friday I was having a lovely relaxing afternoon, and thought I'd post this on Saturday. I had the same intention Saturday morning - I'd post after I had breakfast with a friend. I ended up going to a fabric sale! More on that hopefully tomorrow. The two activities sapped it out of me though (there was slightly anxiety at trying to find the place, going somewhere new etc which is equally energy sapping), that and an early start meant I spent the rest of the day wanting to go to bed. But here's my new favourite food!
 |
| What's it going to be??? |
I go through phases of loving particular food, and my new current favourite is
the humble cottage cheese. I prefer to flavour it myself - I'm not keen on buying
cottage cheese already with onion in, or pineapple. I made a simple salad with
spring/green onns, red pepper, celery, and cucumber. I topped t with
cottage cheese...then mixed it all in and discovered the mayo-like
consistency of the cottage cheese!
I can't remember if I've explained this before, but it's not that I
dislike mayo, my body does. I used to have mayo with everything- tuna
mayo, egg mayo, mayo with salad, and a personal favourite mayo with
chips. Oh amd prawn mayo. Unfortunately I got sick a few days in a
row-literally sick and badly so. Suspected food poisoning which was
ruled out since my family had eaten the same as me. I got better then
the same thing happened again. To cut a long story short t turned out I
was reactin to the beloved mayo! I could eat the mayo ingredients
without a problem separately, but altogether I was one unwell bunny.

I
waited around a year and teied it again, but even eating about 1
teaspoon made me rather ill. So I've accepted I can't eat mayo, which is
restrictive when eating out as I eat fish but not meat, and a lot of
common sandwih fillings involve mayo. It means I don't eat coleslaw,
another popular food item when out and about. Boo! You'd be amazed at
what mayo gets in, a lot of dips and pates. Even if I was brave enough
to try it now I wouldn't want to eat it since everytime I look at t I
feel unwell. Some things you just don't forget!!

However I do have mayo
alternatives. While I can safely eat salad cream, these days I find it and
other sauces unappetising, I thimk because there is a lot of stuff in
them. I use soy sauce, salt and pepper, and vinegar for flavouring. If I
want the creamy texture of tuna mayo/egg mayo I use cream cheese! Best
substitute, alongside my new found love of cottage cheese. Some stores
sell no mayo sandwiches and sushi (told you it was found in odd food!),
which I'm very grateful too. I'm used to checking labels for a sign of
mayo, though occasnally I forget and end up givig an inedible (for me)
food item to my family. Do you like cottage cheese? What do you like mixing it with?
