Food Allergy Advice

[Mary Terry]

I believe that cholesterol and certain saturated fats are very, very good for you. They help build the myelin sheath that creates new pathways in the brain and it's really good for your endocrine system. It's the refined carbs and trans fats that are bad for you.

Every native culture on earth has a tradition of eating offal and fat or blubber. Organ meats, unrefined vegetable fats, and animal fats are so good for you.

Welcome to Nourishing Traditions! - Nourishing Traditions

I tend to agree with you. The medical community has radically changed their old advice about avoiding animal fats in the last 10 years.

Offal makes the best sausage. I like chicken liver (no one else in my family does) so I sometimes cook livers for myself and eat them over rice, or incorporate the liver into a Cajun dish called "dirty rice", or I make a liver pate to smear on toast or crackers. Great source of protein and iron. I can't bring myself to eat sweetbreads, though. Something about eating thymus glands is gross to me. I also like beef tongue, especially on a sandwich or taco. My family gags when I cook it for myself, just like they gag when I eat sardines straight from the can or herring pickled in cream sauce. I am an adventurous eater and eat to please myself. I'm pretty darned healthy at age 67 despite or maybe because of what I eat.

Well guys, we tried the Just Egg this morning. We made scrambled "eggs" with potatoes, sausage, and tomatoes.

It was so bomb!!!!

If you have an egg allergy, or are vegan, I really, really recommend this product. Even though it was made from mung beans, it was just lovely. It looks, cooks, and tastes like egg. There was no difference in texture or in cooking.

It has 8 servings in the bottle, which is equal to eight eggs. Each "egg" had five grams of protein. And it was just a little over $3.

I guess science can do almost anything these days.

Oh yay!! I am so glad it worked out for you!!! I am inclined to try this now...
Also on the topic of eating organ meat: I love chopped liver and any Pâté. I am trying to me mindful of what meat I eat and when and using all of the animal I can. I want to try tendon one day.

There might not be so much soy in it that I cdn't have it,
but the sugar and tapioca syrup definitely rule it out for me.

Eat chorizo. It is a cheap way to eat sweetbreads, and you'd never know it.

I also like eating sardines and kippers.


I do eat chorizo, both Spanish and Mexican versions. But I don't like the looks of whole sweetbreads that have been cooked intact. If they're ground up in a sausage, then that's okay.

Soy lecitin usually isn't a problem for us. And we're allergic to soy. Soy usually makes my mouth itch like crazy. But this was just a nice tasty meal. My blood sugar was nice and stable after eating it. You should try it. It's like $3.

No, I shouldn't try it.
It has sugar in it.

That would be a big mistake for me.

Do you have a problem with all sugars I have a problem with sucrose not such a problem with fructose definitely have a problem with lactose

 

[tree]

All kinds of sugar.

Have to be careful, because the effects are unpleasant.

Careful means no sucrose. Don't do artificial sweeteners either.

I can use six raisins when I have green beans, nutritional yeast, and
peanut butter together. I can eat apples, but not use apple juice.

I find it strange that Schweppes are still using saccharin in tonic water (in the UK)barely ever see that anywhere apart from Schweppes,I usually get tonic water with fructose in it.
