To me salad is something that you get on a burger or a nice kebab. But even I would never ask at Mcdonalds for a burger without lettuce as all this does is cement your position in their eyes as a fattie. Not to mention the rest of the queue. I do however have no shame in doing such a thing if I order a burger over the phone as lets face it the driver will probably be as fat as me anyway.
Even as a qualified chef I've always had a strong belief that green on food = mould and should be thrown and these thoughts have long transposed themselves to green food in general. I really don't mind veggies as long as they are encased in pastry preferably with some chicken in a nice pie, or failing that next to steaming hunk of beef and some greasy roast potatoes.
From the age of 20 to 23 I ran pubs up and down the country and was on first name terms with at least 2 delivery drivers from the various local takeaway who lovingly fed me with the money being provided from a nice fat expense account. This is a fatmans food heaven - I don't have to cook and even better I don't have to pay. If only I could have found someone to feed me then my world would have been complete.
My weakness has (and probably always will be) chocolate. It's a comfort food and being the size I am I take more comforting than most. So why not tuck into a family size bar? At least I wait till the kids are in bed, mainly so I don't have to share but all the same I still wait.
Now all this has changed and I really need to focus on what i'm eating, points from now on means being careful where as in the past points were something I awarded myself for finishing the biggest meal ever or for eating more hotdogs than my mate on a night out.
So let the fun begin..................................................... but first maybe one last orange. Terry's do a nice one!
