OMG,OMG,OMG! Thank you so much for bringing this up! My AS bf cannot eat dinner without one of those huge ones. I am thinking it is part of something that feeds his intolerance, kind of like a food allergy but he must have one so he doesn't have to deal with the world with a clear mind. Sometimes I am allowd to replace with rice or pasta, but there MUST be a starch, and he will gourge on potatoes. I once made mashed potatoes from a five pound bag and he ate all of them in two days (they were meant for leftovers). Is this an addiction? I try to substitute smaller potatoes and he thinks I am gypping him. He always leaves full, as with smaller potatoes I fill his plate with more veggies and lean meat. The other night he wolfed 3 lamb chops, a bag of cooked spinach and a 1 1/2 pound potato. He made me swear I'd feed him smaller ones in the future, but come on, if you are full of meat and veggies why would you stuff yourself to finish a cheap potato to the point of pain? I know if I start putting small ones or none on his plate I break his routine and am the new devil...
HELP!! !
