I mostly prefer veggies but alas I can't digest a lot of them well. I didn't
have this problem when we lived in NY so I fared quite well there except for
the winter months. A big salad is a favorite meal but that is no longer.

I grew up with parents who were picky eaters. For instance, my dad refused
to eat something if he didn't know what was in it. He was often fearful of
what I cooked because I used herbs and seasonings and my mom did not aside
from a very few things like parsley and chili powder. She often didn't even
use salt or pepper.
I have no clue why we never had salami at home. My dad loved summer sausage
so we did get that for him at least once a year. He was the only one that
ate it. I don't think I ever even tried it. Some things just don't appeal to
me just due to their looks or aroma.
I've been told that I ate a lot of meat when I was younger. But when I got
older, we had meatless Mondays. My dad was always fearful that he wouldn't
get enough protein in his diet and was convinced that meat was the best
source for that. But we got to the point at least temporarily where we had
to spend less money on food. Hence the meatless Mondays. I soon learned that
I actually felt better when I didn't eat meat. And when I got my first
apartment, I never bought meat unless I had people over for dinner and it
had been planned in advance. Most of the time I didn't even have it then,
but I have learned that most people just like meat.
I never was a strict vegetarian or vegan but I did eat one or the other of
these types of diets most of the time for a good many years. I did learn
that I'll go anemic unless I do have a little meat once or twice a week. We
do take my mom out to eat once a week so I usually have meat at that meal.
Much easier to eat meat when dining out than to try to find a meatless meal.
I also never worried about things like lard in refried beans or chicken
broth in a soup or rice.
