Members' dietary opinions

[capocannoniere]

We have already breakfast or a day of eating threads, but I'm most curious about what do you enjoy having the most and think is better for you on a daily basis.

What are the staples of your diet?
What do you avoid eating at all? Be it for taste, faith, belief, or whatever.

[Jingle Bell]

No meu caso eu como absolutamente qualquer coisa, de cuzcuz á polvo, de feijoada á escargot
Não sigo dieta, mas como um pouco de tudo, nunca tive nenhum problema de saúde por minha alimentação.

[Foghorn]

Staple of my diet is pork.
I come from a region where having pigs essentially meant guaranteed survival. We were occupied by the Ottomans, and when they would come to take their taxes, they would grab chickens, goats, sheep, the only thing they would stay away from was pig. Therefore most households always kept pigs, because that could guarantee that your family would be fed and no foreign invader will take it. We later became most famous pig traders and merchants in all of Europe.

So when I go for a meat, it is usually pork, since we have mastered every single way to prepare it, and it is always delicious. Not healthy, but extremely delicious.
I like vegetables a lot and I eat them even for breakfast.

I have seen cigarettes there, I like to have a Cuban cigar along with my scotch few times a month, usually on my reading nights.

What meat do you think tastes the best (with least amount of cooking I suppose)?

Probably beef, though I never understood this steak obsession of the modern world, people arguing about piece of meat being cooked this or that way.

I don't think pork is unhealthy. First of all there isn't even a consensus for what health is.

From what I know, Yugoslavs have a diet that is heavy on meat and wheat products. For most dietitians it's a nightmare, and still it's a place with some of the tallest people in the world and produces a lot of sportspeople. This to me is health in some way.

Here in the colonies we also eat a lot of pork. Salami and lard were two essentials back in the day, because they were a steady and non-perishable supply of fats and protein, very important especially for hard manual labour. South Brazil is probably one of the regions that produce the most pork on Earth.

I'm curious on Cigars, never had any tobacco in my life.

[Hithaeglir]

Plenty of veggies with a protein source. A fish fillet with a nicely dressed salad is the ideal plate for me

[Annihilus]

No meat or fish, do eat (organic) eggs yogurt milk. Think most of the time my diet is med. I panic when I run out of olive oil (or butter)

I think it has to do with Yugoslavs eating non-processed food. Many of them still do manual labor like in the garden, although not as much as their ancestors.
