The Hunger Spectrum
All this writing of food is just bursting my brain with yummy visuals.
I like to make a big load of one kind of food and eat it all week, usually potato salad and beef stew. For dessert I make something very delicious called Dump Cake and I can eat a small portion once each day for about ten days. Much food keeps in the fridge or I freeze it (not the salad or the cake). Saves money and time, and I always know what I cam getting--no surprises.
Unlike many here, I abhor too much spice/sauces/mayo/salad dressing. Ouch.
Xelebes' soups sound yummy.
I make many different kinds of food/desserts, but only for my kids. They are NT and like to eat different kinds every day.

I would call myself a food connesiour, I love to try as many new foods as I can. One of my goals in life is to have eaten every type of food there is, the exception being bugs... I also want to try every edible meat, won't touch human though, that would just be very very wrong, and can't say I would want to try monkey either, to similar to people... I know the meat goal is one I will never fulfill, and I can live knowing that, but given the opportunity to try a new meat, I would. I really want to try fugu, that poisonous pufferfish they serve in Japan, the one where you might die if you eat it, I heard that is an amazing experience all on its own, and probably the most interesting meat, as traces of the poison make your mouth tingle regardless of how well it is prepared. I also want to try every edible fruit. And I especially love lychees.
There are some foods I can't eat because of sensory issues, those include chicken if it is prepared wrong, and carrots, and a few others I can't think of. Cough syrup, although not a food, and it still being ingested through the mouth, will make me throw up every single time I have it, no exceptions, and especially grape.
