Foody or Vegan?

I know that eating vegetables and such is very healthy but, I don't care for many of them. I'm not a fan of humus, salad or kale. My favorites are all the things I should not eat much of like fast food, chocolate and pastries. Past the years of pretty and petite. I am in my late 60's and I figure I can eat what I like. Oh, I do eat the occasionally healthy smoothie,spinach, broccoli or something else green. I think foody and vegan are separate ends of the food spectrum. I would be happy way to the left. I love food. All kinds of food. I was thinking what was one food I WOULDN"T want to try. Hmmm. I like fish a lot but I think that octopus would be too much. It sounds like tasteless, rubbery stuff I couldn't chew or be able to get down. What about you? What is one food you wouldn't even want to try?

I will try almost anything, even ate sushi in Hawaii. Beets, unless they are pickled are awful and I won't touch them. We eat pretty healthily, going to my vegan daughter's house for Thanksgiving and taking our own turkey and stuff.

Good that you are able to do your own thing at her house.

For a short time, I felt like maybe I needed to get away from eating meat for a while. But it doesn't seem to bother me now and I love most meats. I try to cook as healthy as I can, but we definitely aren't vegetarians. I guess I could get used to it if I really had to.

I am a foody but I don't eat a lot of fast food or junk food, I like most food. I hate the thought of tripe, ugh. My mother in law made it in a bean dish, I ate the beans but not the tripe.

Tripe is one thing I would not try.

I did try octopus, a baby one, at the Chinese place and it was like rubber and I spit it in my napkin. No flavor.
I am heading back to vegan because of health issues but I will eat just about anything.
I do not want to ever have to eat snake.

I try to eat a balanced diet and reduce dairy and refined sugar consumption. Have you tried takoyaki balls? They're made of minced octopus meat.

I have been vegan for 2 yrs now and love it changed for health reasons. It is a hard transition, but once a person get used to the taste of things, the things you used to like taste horrible..
I could never go back to eating meat. I tried a bite of elk last year and
I wanted to barf, a lot of ppl think they don't get to eat but I get to eat lots of fun stuff but without the animal ingredients..

That's great. I worry about my daughter's protein intake though.
