#57- I really, really …do not care for beans or peas or lentils
and I never have.
BUT
If peas are in a samosa or chick peas are in roti I might swallow them, but
I cannot get down with mushy foods.
I will cook them for other people though, if they want.
Shh, do you hear that? Listen. It’s God chuckling at me. I have never liked mushy foods. I was 16 before I even tried mashed potatoes and I didn’t try avocado until I was an adult. The texture of mushy foods just never sat well with me. So much has happened since I wrote that. A lovely case of Dysphagia can change your mind about many things – very quickly. There are a few foods that I can eat comfortably right now – avocado toast, mashed potatoes and soup – mushy food. I can’t believe it. I’m very grateful for…some mushy foods!
Oh and I still don’t care for beans – unless its a green bean.
I do not begrudge your love of them. I can/will still prepare them for you.
But, I’m not trying to eat them.
