Today’s questions at f.riday5.com!
1. What’s the strangest food you’ve eaten out of a can?
I don’t eat strange foods! And I don’t eat a lot of canned foods – just some fruits (mainly peaches or pineapple) and meatballs-in-a-brown-sauce a few times a year.
2. What food most recently made you ill?
I can’t remember – thankfully! It’s been a while now that my Crohn’s Disease is under much better control.
But one time I’ll always remember was sometime in the summer of 2008 when I had gallstones. There was this one day when I ate fresh strawberries with kuohukerma (I think that’s double cream in English). The cream caused a really bad gallstone attack late that night, so bad that if I hadn’t known I’d likely been having gallstones attacks that summer I would thought I was having a heart attack. (I was waiting for the gall bladder ultrasound but that’s what my doctor thought was happening to me). After that, I didn’t eat anything with fatty cream and avoided fatty foods in general until after the removal of my gall bladder!
3. What movie makes you really want to eat?
No movie makes me want to eat, but any novel that describes a cheese sandwich does! It always sounds so delicious! But then when I make one myself, it’s never so good.
4. What haven’t you eaten in a really, really long time?
There are so many things! I’m rather picky, have a rather set selection of foods I usually buy. I don’t eat many common things just simply because I’m neutral/not interested in them when I’m buying food and cooking for myself. They are not bad or anything, just meh. But the one thing I sort of miss is cucumber even though it’s never been a staple of mine – the prices went ridiculous and right out of my budget a year or two ago when the inflation set in. Same with tomatoes but I don’t miss those as much.
5. What did you most recently eat in a moving vehicle?
I don’t have even the foggiest of when the last time might’ve been, it’s been so long. I don’t have the need because I’m never away from home, restaurant or my Mom’s long enough, or have so little time between thingies, that I have to eat on the move. I drink water on the move for thirst, and sometimes have to take my meds on the move, but no need to eat.
I usually eat home, or at Mom’s if I’m visiting. But mainly at home. The last time I ate in an unusual place (a hospital cafe) was a couple of years ago, when I had blood work done early in the morning and and had to fast for that for 12 hours, and then had a meeting with someone an hour after the labs in the same hospital and knew that meeting might take more than an hour, and then I had to do grocery shopping still so it would take too long to get breakfast if I waited until I got back home. So I had breakfast in the hospital cafe while waiting for the meeting.
