Honestly, I did it on a whim just because I could. I was 13 ish and talking to a vegetarian friend and had a moment of "...I eat basically no meat already. I could very easily cut it out entirely. what the hell, why not?" and then did.

at this point i dont eat meat more because an object in motion stays in motion than anything. and because the original statement of my family not eating much meat remains true. and also because in the years since I developed ocd related to food contamination and I have Fear over meat not being properly prepared and making me sick

so tbh at some point i'll have to eat meat again as part of getting rid of that obsession bc ocd is not a good reason to do anything. or like i'll have to more seriously eat meat. i'm not a 100% strict vegetarian; i've eaten meat in the past 8 years several times.

Have you ever had strawberry shortcake

Oh it's you again! hello hello!

Basic, but I love popsicles! Favorite flavors are lime and pineapple, things in that vein of citrusy and sour! I will absolutely eat popsicles in the winter, but we tend to have them more in summer ofc

Are cherries a summer food? They're not a favorite, but I do enjoy picking up some extra fruits in the summer, and cherries are one I go to from time to time. Cherries, kiwi, plums. Maybe blackberries, but berries are pretty hit and miss

though! there is this salad i'll make in the summer with strawberries, sweet peppers, cucumber, feta, and almond slices that uses a balsamic vinaigrette that is fun. just depends if you get good strawberries or not

A food you only had once but really want to have again?

OKAY SO! At one of the holy days years ago (i don't remember which--martyrdom maybe?), when I must've been like 12-13 or something, someone brought a homemade green chile stew to the potluck.

I don't know who brought it, I have no clue everything that was in it, but oh my GOD it was the best green chile stew I've ever had in my entire life. Every day I lament that I, a fool, did not track down whoever made it and demand the recipe. at knifepoint if necessary

Snack attack I am drawing a complete blank; this question is my kryptonite. 95% of the time food is simply a task to complete I don't think about it too much </3

Kinda both, but we do buy and eat "junk" food! I don't want to give the impression that I'm some sort of food purist who cuts out anything "unnatural" or processed or anything like that. Balance is healthy and food is fuel

We buy things like frozen pizzas and chicken nuggets and chips and things generally considered "junk," we just buy it in moderation alongside other foods. Because generally, our favorite foods and recipes are ones that involve a lot of fruits, veggies, the "healthier" things, and we can afford to eat those. But it's convenient to have quick meals sometimes, and there's nothing wrong with them or with enjoying them. Some "junk" foods do just taste good!

I do personally prefer fresher things; I know a lot of people with sensory issues have trouble with fruits and veggies, but I just happen to not be one of them. I love the texture and flavor of fresh fruit and veggies, and the natural colors are incredibly appealing--that's one of the reasons I don't eat as much "junk" food, it literally just doesn't look as good so it's not as high in my rankings. Things like burgers and fries and nuggets and pizza aren't colorful enough, they're so beige

I don't know that I hate any one food, because at the end of the day food is fuel and as long as you're happy with what you're eating I'm happy for you, and either way it's no business of mine.
