I mean, how did you develop it? Most of us have daily rituals and idiosyncrasies and we have them to make us feel at ease. Personally I love eating at restaurants precisely because I don't have to go through any preparation (of any kind) and because a salad and a sandwhich always tastes better is someone else makes it, imho. <BR/><BR/>I *now* see food *mostly* as "fuel" and I don't really dedicate much significance to it as long it's a good fuel - does this make sense? <BR/><BR/>I must admit that I used to indulge in KFC food from time to time. In Dubai I was shocked to find out that the KFC's do not carry mashed potatos, gravy and bisquits. What?! How can you have fried chicken without these? How easy it is to give up fast food when it just doesn't taste the same as back home! (Oh, and Baskin Robbins do not carry root beer floats!).<BR/><BR/>As to bowls and chicken - nothing beats Pollo Loco! Now they have some hearty bowls, rice and beans and roasted chicken. Their chicken is a lot healthier, I don't know about the side dishes though... :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14578627.post-1149388397730127272006-06-03T19:33:00.000-07:002006-06-03T19:33:00.000-07:00You know, perhaps it's because in my old fast food...You know, perhaps it's because in my old fast food days I was a Popeye's girl, but something about those bowls is just ... I don't know ... overkill?<BR/><BR/>(I loooove cheese, but I just can't see cheese on top of that particular mishmash. It's like tomato sauce on ice cream.)<BR/><BR/>Or maybe it's that if I'm going to do overkill, I would rather create my own and not be limited by the restaurant's menu as to what the overkill must be. <BR/><BR/>Heck, I've been known to order off the menu at Vong (not necessarily a way to endear oneself to the chef unless you are, like, Gisele or something).<BR/><BR/>I dunno. Just musing.<BR/><BR/>(Buff, sorry about the rhubarb. I am a wannabe non-fiction author who needs mentoring.

I really don't see the cheese belonging there, perhaps because it’s not melted in the pictures so it looks like it would taste gross to me. Other than that, it just seems like a fast-food version of Shepherd’s Pie with chicken. (Lindsey, you should try Shepherd’s Pie if you haven't yet. The American version is usually ground beef, topped with corn and/or other veggies, topped with mashed potatoes, topped with cheese and baked).<BR/><BR/>As for food rituals, I myself also like to eat my foods separately. (Which is why it surprised me when I saw this and thought it looked good, minus cheese). I didn't learn until I was about 12 or so that everyone in the world didn't eat one thing at a time on their plates. I also, unintentionally, do the same thing in mixed dishes. For example, if I eat stroganoff, I end up with a bowl full of just meat by the end.<BR/><BR/>To argue the OCD food issues are stemming from something deeper, I have done this since I was an infant. My mother would, for example, feed me a dinner from two different flavors of baby food. She would feed me some of one, then some of the other, and I would refuse to eat the first one again. Maybe it's hard-wired. Or I’m a freak. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428033439125315780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14578627.post-1149014700319482572006-05-30T11:45:00.000-07:002006-05-30T11:45:00.000-07:00That bowl thing looks so gross ;(You better walk/r...That bowl thing looks so gross ;(<BR/><BR/>You better walk/run/swim for an hour after eating that thing or there's no excuse for us being fat!

To be honest my love of food hasn't changed all that much since losing weight. I still enjoy the experience of going to a Sushi restraunt and dining on high quality foods. I've just learned not to obsess about it, now I can just enjoy it as an occassional experience with out being "overcome" or "engulfed" by it. My food addiction were more like food lust or food infactuations than cravings. I would become consumed about having a specific food item/items, usually expensive ones to, unfortunelately for my pocketbook. Sometimes I would just eat anything I could find in the house until I allowed myself to have the food I was desiring that day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
