Food Burnout
Do you ever suffer from food burnout?
I have foods that I could happily eat every day to almost every day. Most
soups, toast, popcorn/popping sorghum, beans, olives... Although sometimes
when I make a big pot of soup I get pretty tired of it towards the end. I
have been trying to make smaller pots of soup and adding some different
veggies to them for the last little bit or perhaps changing the seasoning a
bit. That helps.
This time of year I think a lot of people get turkey burnout! Although we
like turkey, it is not a favorite food for any of us and I wouldn't want to
have to eat it for weeks on end as we sometimes seemed to do when I was a
kid. So I try to buy/make enough for 2-3 meals.
But now? I am having cranberry bread burnout. I love the stuff and after
getting the new loaf pan, the 2nd loaf came out perfectly. I couldn't ask
for more. The problem? I think it's just too rich. I like it. I love it.
But yesterday, halfway through eating a piece, I had to stop and I didn't
want any more. I am trying to eat another piece now. But I may well just
chuck the rest of the loaf into the freezer and take it out next week.
I would probably feel the same way about French onion soup, assuming I could
still eat it. Love the stuff but it is so rich, I would not want to eat it
every day. A few times a year is good.
Do you have any foods that you feel this way about?
