alphabet soup 380x353 Quick Question: What is your favourite letter to eat?

.

Welcome to a new regular post on Mamamia.

You know how some days you want to get involved in the conversation but you just don’t have the brain power at the time to sink into deep and heavy? Well the Just Asking post will help you through that. We post a quick question and you answer it. Simple. And Fun.

Today’s question is inspired by Julie Goodwin who tweeted “I am curious – if you could only eat food beginning with one letter for the rest of your life, what letter would you choose?”

Over to you. Choose one letter and tell us why

(and thanks Julie for the inspiration)

    I’ll join the C crowd, and my contributions to the list are Camellia sinensis (tea) and corn chips.

    Unfortunately cauliflower also starts with C, so maybe I can get out of it by calling it a Brassica…??

    My first thought was M — i am craving a mango right now.

    then I knew it had to be P for pizza and pasta

    then of course I realised chips, cheese and chicken are also delicious.

      You could refer to chicken as poultry and claim chips as potato! Not sure on the cheese though..

    I pick the letter R.

    It doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m a fan of food beginning with the letter R.

    It means that as I eat whatever it is, as it goes down my throat and hits my tummy I want to be thinking, ” R……that tastes good ” ! :)

      I’ll join you!

      But the silver lining, as I confirmed with my dr when diagnosed, is that we can still eat chocolate and drink coffee, so the world is not really a bad place.
