Charlotte Malakoof aux fraises et champagne,

Probably a good thing that your menu is in French and I do not have time to translate it

But I will translate it later on and I hope that it is vegetarian

I help you

Charcuterie is various pork salted recipes, and rillettes d'oie means a goose died during the operation.

Escargots are snails.

Caneton is a baby duck.

Brie is cheese.

Charlotte malakoff aux fraises means that many strawberries died in atrocious way during the elaboration

Today,I was checking a new super market after I discovered it has cheap organic food, like 12 organic apple for £3.00 and 6 organic banana for £1.20 and many others. By the time I finished I became very tired and hungry because of the heavy shopping basket. I got a pack of five doughnuts and ate all of them in one go in my van. It took me over an hour to finish them. I was still hungry. To avoid to buy and eat another pack of five doughnuts, I rushed home. I made 4 slices of wholemeal organic bread and ate them with a mixed salad of organic ingredients, enhanced with my own made fermented vegetable. I will not eat any thing more upto tomorrow breakfast time. I also found for the first time frozen soya beans, which I bought. But it is not organic.

That's the problem with restrictive diet : it provokes compulsive craving of 'forbidden' food. Doughnuts are probably not very nutritive, btw. Wholemeal bread is good but eating it with cheese or ham and butter and your body would have been all what it need. Or with chocolate, jam or honey, if you prefer sweet food.

I had this problem with doughnuts long ago. I think it was one of the reasons I got hypertension. But now luckily I have recovered and my blood pressure slightly deviates by more or less from 120. I used to eat it a lot.

speaking about compulsive craving, it may not apply in my case. I almost hate the rest of the former foods except doughnuts and curries.
