My taste has changed

[Guest guest]

A lot of you will have heard me lament the fact I have lost my taste

for beer which I used to really enjoy. Wine is also off my list but I

was amazed when Bev was staying with me I bought a french bread stick

to eat with a gorgeous soup we made. As I have no restriction I

thought I would try a slice of my old favourite. I haven't had any

since Nov.'04. Anyway, I slathered the butter (marg) on, just like I

always did, but I could not put it in my mouth. I had to scrape and

scrape until there was none there. It gave the sensation of thick, fat

lard as it passed my lips. No way could I chew it. Everything seems so

different now. I am thinking my pallet must have been lined with oil

and fat etc. and after so long without it, it seems the predominant

thing I notice if I try to eat anything too oily or fatty these days.

It's good for me but a strange feeling just the same that these things

I once loved and lived on are now so repulsive to me. Weird hey?? M.
