Hi I've been directed here from another thread where I was worried about my health as I eat almost no veg at all. (At most one small portion pwk)
I didn't realise this was so unusual or so unhealthy. I eat fruit and lots of dairy and wholemeal bread so I thought that was ok.
We are really broke atm and DP is a vegetarian so we don't eat (can't afford) much meat. Meals are often carb and dairy based eg pizza, mac cheese, toasties.
I was surprised on the other thread that people were saying they actually like veg. To me they are something I tolerate because I know I should. After spending 2 days thinking about this the only examples of veg I like are: garlic, mushrooms, pickled baby beets, home made tziki (cucumber), onions in things eg mac cheese, home made chips with skins on, tomato sauce in pizza and spag bol.
Veg I don't find too bad are: raw or roasted carrot, really buttery sprouts, blended homemade lentil soup (carrot and tomato), red pepper on pizza.
If it's on a plate in front of me I'll eat baby spinach, green beans, lettuce (not rocket) but I don't 'like' them.
I don't like lots of flavours or textures mixed together. I don't like black pepper, salad dressings, chilli, anything spicy/hot/strong.
So what can people suggest?
