There are some foods I eat everyday. I basically eat the same variation of lunch each workday….a sandwich, at least twice a week this is a peanut butter & jelly sandwich, an apple, a yogurt and then something crunchy like peanuts or chips. I eat these foods for the convenience they provide. I don’t have a work environment that allows me to warm-up food or keep foods refrigerated so I need foods that are convenient to pack in a small cooler and can be eaten with minimal preparation. This does not mean these are my favorite foods and I really should expand the variety of foods I eat.
I could eat ice cream almost everyday. I don’t nor should anyone, in fact I try to go weeks without eating ice cream so when I do eat it I enjoy it more. Pizza is fantastic and when I do eat it I usually can’t help myself and I eat too much. I well cooked steak seasoned just right is perhaps one of life’s most pleasurable eating experiences.
As I said, I probably should have more variety but I like what I like and I don’t eat what I don’t like. I read somewhere that by age 30 you’ve basically determined your favorite foods and it’s very rare to find new ones as you age. This may be true…..my Mom wanted me to buy her a couple of nectarines at the store and I sampled one of hers…I didn’t like it. There are probably way more foods I don’t like than I like, which is why your favorite foods are usually a very small list.
