My first ever Friday five
Answering ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
thefridayfive’s questions on Saturday morning because I’m going to give this a go! This was kind of a weird one because I’m in the middle of making some dietary adjustments/being more careful about my dietary restrictions and sensory sensitivities. I often found that these issues of accessibility impacted how I responded to the questions more than personal preferences.
I tried, though. Look I’m doing socializing on dreamwidth!!!
1. Rice or potatoes?
Potatoes, especially sweet potatoes, although I hardly ever want to cook them myself. I end up eating brown rice more.
2. Fish or red meat?
Fish. I’m pescatarian, and usually eat vegetarian or vegan, but I still occasionally have fish/seafood (made by family members or restaurants) because it’s part of the culture I grew up in.
3. Salad or cooked vegetables?
This is a tough question because I dislike both equally if they’re prepared with a texture I have a sensory aversion to. Prepared well I think cooked vegetables have a slight edge (roasted-to-crispy and seasoned brussels sprouts can be incredible, and I love a good vegetable soup in the winter.)
4. Cake or ice cream?
Ice cream sometimes has hidden eggs in a custardy way that tears up my stomach. So, cake. Because the eggs in cake have chemically changed in a way that hurts me less.
5. Water, soft drink, wine, beer, or hard alcohol?
Water. Alcohol interacts with my meds so I’ve stopped drinking, and I’ve been moving away from soft drinks too. Although if iced tea had been an option…

The cafeteria of the school where I work serves sweet potatoes a lot, so I’ve developed a taste for them. I think my favorite way to cook them at home involves dicing them into small pieces and then roasting them in taco seasoning along with black beans and corn. Then I’ll either have them as part of tacos, or in a rice/quinoa bowl with hot sauce and scallions and maybe some kale.

I think for me it depends on the meal, I've actually liked rice more the older I've gotten.
I like both, but when given the option I pick fish more because of the health benefits.
Cooked Veggies are better to me!
I have to say ice cream wins this round...
For me I like water the best, I try to drink it with every meal.
