Omnivore More About Me

There are animals that are carnivores (eats only meat) and herbivores (eats only plant life) but I am both which makes me an omnivore (eats both meat and plants). 

However I don't like eating amphibians, reptiles,  fish , bugs, sea food, wild game or bush meat which I believe the latter is illegal.

I will eat chicken and turkey but that is it for the bird group as for the mammal group pigs and cows.

I have had eaten strange foods when I was a kid like cow brains, cow tongue, mutton (sheep), sardines YUCK.  My parents will always try to make me eat those  at the dinner table while  repeatedly saying "mmm this is good"  that doesn't work,  If a person does not like something, they don't like it. I was force to eat a little bit but I never did ask for seconds.Even when I made tuna noodle I always substituted the tuna with chicken.

They like this and don't like that, others like that but not this:  A fox carrying off a rabbit may seem cruel, but it is part of nature's balancing act.  I also believe people having different tastes is part of this balancing act. I have Asian friends that dig for earthworms every morning, remove their tracks and then fry those earthworms for breakfast as for this type of breakfast I'll pass.

 I am not strictly an omnivore, some time ago I had to pay an unexpected bill and ate nothing but pancakes with syrup for a week, waiting for  my next check to came.A pancake mix I made with corn flour and regular wheat flour along with syrup made with brown sugar boiled in water.

I do not care for fancy restaurants or eating fish eggs or snails usually on Friday I order myself a cheeseburger and plop money down for the salad bar. I was with my sister one day and she ask me "Why do you need the salad bar, the salad is right on top of your cheeseburger ?"  Geeze

I am not the type do what others do. I never did hunt or fish even when I was a kid;  Or mushroom hunt for that matter.  Back in the 1950's you can get a whole 16 ounce can or package of mushrooms for 15 cents, so why bother?

Just because I am an omnivore doesn't mean on some meals I can become a herbivore meaning I wouldn't mind green onions, corn bread, baked beans and a tall glass of iced tea like Ray Stevens' song  below ,and it makes sense why pay hundreds for a plate that only has two bites;  By the way "soupe du jour" is French for "soup of the day" (end):
