- okra. Cigarette smoke, old, new, and permeating a room, wafting from a balcony, etc etc. That I have so many chronic diseases. That I take so very many meds. Being cold. Anything too loud, but specifically non-classical music and the television.
@kitedoc I like your comment re smoking chefs. I was never a big salt user growing up, never at the table, and stopped using salt altogether in my late 20’s because of a med I had to take for several months. So, 40 years with salt only in some baked sweets, measured by the grain. Restaurant food is *always* over-salted! Some prepared foods are so salty they burn my tongue. I’m hopeless! But I never heard about the connection with chefs-who-smoke. Makes sense. My ability to smell cigarette smoke of any age (and to tell you how long it’s been in an environment) is freaky. Canadian cigs in the early 2970’s smelled so much better than the US ones I was used to
I’m definitely in the 90% chocolAte camp now too! I think about a Snickers bar, for example, and there’s no appeal at all. I think my low-sodium life has helped the tastebuds and brain be willing to accept single yet rich flavors. I eat a bread I make, which to Mr ZF tastes like cardboard, and find it a complex and satisfying blend of flavors. Go figure!
