Yes, I have heard about that. But liver is pretty normal food here.
Many people like tripe too - I never tasted it and I like it that way⌠I have limits.
I love blood, thatâs great, very fun and tasty and hard to get.
And there is rooster testicles stew, thatâs normal food here too⌠I never ate that either.
If one buys a whole chicken/hen/rooster, it has everything included, guzzard is pretty fun, I like it but I would never buy it in big amounts. I can buy precious liver with that money! Or chicken thighs. Those are my favorites and I like the bony parts except the lower one with the breast, ew.
We bought half a young goat once and it included all the organs (others didnât want them so we got a whole set). Of course we tried it all, we are curious. Only the lung was totally horrible.
I donât (I mean the quickness) though it depends the method I guess⌠And I never could get beef liver (I am so curious about it though). The last bunch took 80 minutes and it was pink in the middle, tender and great (whole chicken livers, 1 kg, in the oven). For some reason, if I make liver, that takes ages⌠Except is I use a little amount in a pan. My pig liver took maybe 20-30 mins? And it was so tender, I always thought pig liver is hard as I only ate it that wayâŚ
With bacon? I never tried it with bacon! Thanks for the idea, I will try it next time! While I still have bacon. Once I found some really tasty bacon (not expensive either, hmmm) but I almost never go near that hypermarket⌠But it will happen eventually.
I have just had my 3rd meal. Considering I barely ate all day, I probably needed it. I still have no idea how to eat adequate protein and some people think itâs the way to go⌠I definitely went over my needs only with the meat in my 3rd meal. And I had cheese and egg and whatnot.
I probably shouldnât eat this late (but I couldnât avoid it now)⌠My satiation sign goes to sleep around 8pm or something and I canât get satiated afterwards and itâs annoying as I am not good at stopping eating just because I already ate a ton.
But maybe itâs the chicken. It works during the day though. I need more experiments.
So I ate another from those big full chicken legs with the pelvis and leftover chuck. My meat aversion is nowhere to found, thatâs good in these almost eggless days. I donât think I have nutrition problems now.
And indeed, my usual magnesium problems on keto (carni included if I eat little meat and that wasnât the case lately except for a while) disappeared again. I donât supplement anything since the beginning of November.
I have no idea about my salt intake, probably the usual one teaspoon per day as I eat way less smoked pork than before when I had to depend on them as meat. So thatâs perfect too.
Oh, something new happened today. It seems I canât use the pretty nice bbq spice in my chicken soups anymore. It makes my soup annoyingly sweet (it has some onion and garlic powder. not much, itâs mostly pepper and salt as far as I know⌠mustard seed too. and I used it sparingly⌠but it was clearly sweet). Oh well, I made good chicken soup with salt only before and I can use pepper if I really want⌠I will keep using the bbq spice in my liver dishes when I will miss the onion. But that need goes down too. Liver is nice all alone (well, with salt and fat) but as I always ate it with lots of onion as a kid (and its sweetness went very well with the mild bitterness of the liver), it was strange without it first.
I am all ready for Zornfast now. I had enough of eating difficulties lately, if I would have any other option than trying to stay close to carnivore, I would have thrown the towel in already. I am so good at not eating the âholiday season fruitsâ (they were always very important for me in December) but sweets are strong now for various different reasons. It makes little sense as I can have my carni sweets and they are superior but itâs still not easy for me now, no matter what I do (as I wrote in the Zornfast thread, I went beyond my stress quota for this year, pretty much, actually and I donât try hard anything. but I want to feel good.)
OMAD is supposed to help. Or TMAD but eating late messes up things. Itâs so insane, I canât eat during the day and some hours later I get unsatiable, what logic is that?
I buy eggs tomorrow, I canât overeat them⌠If I eat a decent amount of meat, some cheese and 10 eggs, I canât imagine I will be still unsatiated⌠But if I will be, so be it, I donât care, I want peace alreadyâŚ
If I get the hang of things, I will try not to blow it again
This is no fun. But itâs December. I am never good at December but this year I am in very bad shape.
Tomorrow will be a new day, I want sunshine, pig liver, eggs and festivity! (And a distinct lack of headache.) We still didnât decorated the house⌠I was in no mood for it. But I will do it tomorrow.
