Its been kind of strange here in regards to food. As anyone that has eaten at least one meal with me knows, I am a very picky eater. For God's sake I refused to eat salad until I was high school, and the only reason I started then was because of cutting weight for wrestling. Also I am too much of a coward to try new foods and often just eaten the same few dishes everywhere I go. Usually when I do try new foods its a result of me being so hungry that my will just breaks.
This time it took me about two weeks to break. I had mussels and clams for the first time in Paella and I really enjoyed them. This past week in cooking class I had salmon for the first time, it was ok. Hopefully my will in regards to not trying new foods will remain broken. After all one of my main goals here, as cheesy as it sounds, is personal improvement.
In regards to foods I actually eat, I find that in Spain things I barely ever eat in the States, I eat all the time here. Potato chips for example, I never really eat them but here I can't get enough. I think a lot has to do with the ingredients being fresher and less preservatives. Plus my intake of Coke has increased threefold, mostly to due to the real sugar that it is made with.
As for the food my hostmom cooks, it's all excellent. Part of this is that she is quite the cook and the other part is she caters to my likings. Not to mention she buys me snacks, which she is not obliged to at all in the housing contract. This past week I have eaten about 8 bananas over the past 5 days. We ended up running out and she went to the store to buy more. I guess she thinks I can't get enough of them because she came back with over a dozen.
