This for a guy who once blendered down, little by little, an
entire quart of brewers yeast not to let it go to waste?  At
least most of _your_ ingredients started their career as
well defined foodstuffs, not mattress stuffing components.

You go to all the effort to add water to it?  I just eat it
from the pack, as Lord Ramen intended.

Frequently, but not the _same_ lunch. Snickers bars are well
known to be one of the essential food groups, and a bottle
of lemon concentrate is good for clearing the airways.

You're getting a lot closer to your goal, but I just a few
days back nuked, over four pieces of bread, and ate, some
many months old half round of cheese that was blonde on one
side and pink on the other. There was no way to guess which
was its original color.  To make Ace happy, I scraped off
the blackest of the mold first. The result tasted, let's
say, "unusual".

On the bright side, I'm nearly done eating every scrap of
originally-food mess friend was storing for the fourth
millennium. Most of what I eat these days comes out of cans
with "eat by" dates in the current year.

Try to remember, I gain weight on a walk from the stuff I
pull up out of the grass and eat, quite a bit of which I can
identify by name. It is a bit tough to describe food to me
you've actually eaten which I wouldn't eat, though I once
turned down whole raw ratfish, thinking the fellow I gave it
to would use it for bait rather than lunch, still uncooked.

But he was Hawaiian, a sailor, and our chief boatswains
mate, which explains a lot. Those people eat _poi_, the
gastronomical equivalent of library paste.

xanthian.

Well, I do too, but I don't claim to _like_ it.
