I suppose I was previously a fussy eater - not like some you here of, you know the type - will only eat fries, not touch meat, hate vegetables etc.
My ex said I was a nightmare to plan for as could never give an answer in advance - so ironic now as I plan up to 7 days ahead.
I think the change has came about because I had very strong preferences. I would eat meat, vegetables, salads, fruits etc. but was so narrow-minded and restricted that I'd sooner live off such delicacies as french stick/white thick sliced bread, butter, cheese.
I now try any food in any combination as I understand the value of not only healthy eating but variety too. I eat a whole load more mushrooms, peppers, parsnips (my favourite discovery), lamb, fillet steak (my "real" favourite discovery lol), and eat a lot more crab, scallops etc.
Most of all I've discovered the use of fresh ingredients and rekindled the love of cooking dormant for the past few decades. Like many I fell into the takeaway/ready meal trap for convenience and time.
loving food instead of gorging on it is much better.
What have others discovered they like or about themselves?
