white food: part 2

There is more white food. When you think they can no longer sneak it in your meal…it is there.

Let us recap what is NOT white: the salad and the meat. Today I was fortunate to have these parts of my meal whitened.

Usually my salad does not have a dressing, but today it did. After thinking long and hard I think that I figured out all of the ingredients in my salad dressing. It was only mayonnaise. My peas and corn were covered in mayonnaise.

Next the meat. The meat was served “apanado” which means covered in pan, which means covered in bread. My protein was covered in white carbohydrates. And then fried.

To top it off…they laugh at what I eat. They said that they ever had a meal with me they would have to bring pills to calm their stomachs. This is where I would probably tell them to suck it up because I ate:
-Soup with pasta and potatoes
-Main dish of rice, potatoes, peas and corn with mayonnaise, breaded and fried meat
-watered down orange juice with lots of sugar

And I am fine. If you ask me, there are a couple people who could use some cultural sensitivity training.
