I will not eat Reese's Pieces for lunch, rather than eating Chickpea Rice and Squash leftovers. While the first would make me have fewer Reese's, it's the sheer volume of the Chickpea Rice and Squash that makes it leftovers. If I do not eat it now, I will never eat it. If I never eat it, that's $26 out the window. I must eat the Chickpea Rice and Squash, despite having had it for dinner on Friday, lunch on Tuesday, and the probability that I will have it for lunch on Friday, unless it freezes again, which just means I need to turn the refrigerator temperature up.

On a related note, flour-free bagels suck. I keep expecting to see the miracle of plant-life happening in my "sprouted-spelt" bagel. I'm never going to the hippie-mart for bread products again, never mind that I happen to be there at the time. They do not sell flour-based bagels, and I like flour almost as much as I like meat.

Flour-free bagels, when you don't have a restrictive food allergy, are a bit like being mugged at gunpoint for a nickel.

And I think it's the spelt bagels that made me even consider that someone reading this might have a food allergy to wheat. Shoot me, I can't hatefully generalise anymore.

"Flour-free bagels, when you don't have a restrictive food allergy, are a bit like being mugged at gunpoint for a nickel."

Heehee! That's awesome.

And I know someone who has an allergy to glutens -- she'd get sick all the time and everyone just assumed she was bulemic. It was years before they were correctly diagnosed.

Personally, I am glad that I have no food allergies whatsoever, and am celebrating that fact by trying to eat as many different species as possible.

Yeah, I've known a few people with the whole gamut of food allergies, but I dislike the fact that a lot of people without allergies are using an allergy to justify why they don't like a specific food. But then, I'm also not the sort of person to say "Oh, you don't like fish? But you'll love the way I cook it, even though you haven't liked the last five hundred times you tried fish! Go on, have some!"

I do have a couple allergies/sensitivities, but not to wheat. Never to wheat, god willing.

Next on my list of species to eat is rattlesnake. I hear it's good.

Nothing lethal, thank Joe Pesci, but I am allergic to scallops. Not clams, not oysters or any kind of shellfish, mind you, just scallops. The weird thing is every time I've tried them (twice that I can remember), I've loved them.

On the way back up, not so much.

Try alligator. Tastes like chicken.

Hmm.

Maybe it was fed chickens.
