Not Proud

[poliphilo]

I've started eating meat. It's France that's to blame. You scour the menu for the vegetarian option and all they've got is crudites- you know, raw carrot and zucchini and stuff- so I made a decision before we went-  for the next five days I'm a carnivore.

What I hadn't been prepared for was how my energy levels went up. 

But I'm going to insist we buy meat that's been raised ethically. That's my quarrel with meat-eating- not that I'm sentimental about animals, because I'm not- but that industrial farming is disgusting. 

Last night we had lamb steaks- in a mushroom sauce- with mashed potato. 

I'd forgotten food could be such fun.

Coincidentally, I have also become a meat-eater temporarily. I have little money right now so I eat whatever people will spare me.

If you want to make your food more interesting, I suggest trying kinds of ethnic cuisine you are unfamiliar with! Or simply grabbing things from the spice aisle of the grocery store and trying them out.

I eat a lot of curry. And Chinese food when I feel I can afford it. Other types of ethnic food are harder to come by in these parts.
