The food page

If I ever come up with a good recipe, I'll publish it here.

I'm currently experimenting with a vegetarian diet. I'll probably never go completely vegan (I still want to drink milk, among other things), but I hope I'll learn to cook well even without any meat.

I like tacos and similar food, but I'm not very fond of extremely spicy stuff - a rich and varied flavour is nice, but I don't enjoy having to endure the rest of the evening with steam coming out of my ears.

I used to eat a lot of pizza but have now lost my appetite for it somewhat.

I find it hard to appreciate most asian food. IMO, rice tastes absolutely nothing. I don't like sweet & sour sauces, the fish sauce in thai dishes, nor soy, wok, flayed rats & dogs - yes, I'm aware that statement just demonstrated my prejudice against foreign traditions by discarding the whole asian food culture as a stereotypical, barbaric practice.

Like many other lonely, isolated computer people, I've spent about a year with instant noodles being my primary source of nutrition. I can't really say I recommend it.

I utterly despise restaurants that require you to conform to a certain dress code, make reservations ahead of time or use a specific kind of fork for each part of the course.

Very interesting fact

Unlike most people, I hold the fork in my right paw and the knife in my left. I also hold pencils in a very strange way. [Note to self: upload photo to prove this outrageous statement]

Things I don't eat

(or at least try to avoid)

Items are presented in no particular order.

• garlic: regardless of what people say, this is just disgusting. When I was sick once as a child, my mother boiled garlic in milk and made me drink it - the rest of my childhood wasn't nearly as traumatic.
• olives: I'm trying to learn to appreciate them, but progress is slow. I find green ones much easier than black.
• shrimps
• herring: during my days in a wind band, I once ended up next to a tuba player that had just eaten some.
• bulgur: I tried it once, which resulted in the worst constipation in my entire life. It took three or four days before my stomach started working properly again.
• bloody/raw meat: I want it well cooked or at least smoked or dried.

Liquids

I drink tea (with lots of milk and sugar), water, milk and sometimes coffee (also with lots of milk and sugar). I don't drink alcohol or anything that's obviously hazardous to my health, such as gasoline (who the hell would drink gasoline?). I don't like soft drinks much, they're often too sweet and usually leave me more thirsty than before.

Some final words

What the hell? There are people starving all over the world, and this guy bothered to write several screenfulls about what food he likes and dislikes?
