Is there something that you wish you could eat but your system just doesn't tolerate it?....For me it's Bananas

No longer eat chicken, since I became ill in 2011. It’s the most inflammatory meat you can eat. It plays havoc on my muscle tissue. Before the studies I went through at times it caused extreme pain. Also limit my intake of tomatoes for the same reason. You’d be surprised how many foods fit into this category.

Raw onions mess my system up bad. Cooked onions aren't all that bad for me. Pity, as I really like onions in many forms, especially onion rings!

I can eat anything, the only thing that gives me fits is cheese overload, but I like cheese sparingly anyway.

It’s the amount of sulfites in onions that play havoc on many people when eaten raw. Guess I’m lucky, I can eat and enjoy a super early season Vidalia onion like one enjoys an apple👌👍👍 Many people can’t drink red wine due to the amount of sulfites.

Chinese food. Stuff is great but gives me a headache beyond belief.
Ice cream (anything really with lactose) is amazing but my stomach will hate me for a good bit.

![oldcdgr](//storage.forums.net/6447321/images/juvLHSbPyjgJlrDFxGym.gif) This coming Tuesday my Dr made me an appointment with a dietician, wife said if she’s better she wants to come, going for a low carb diet. Been on it close to 2 weeks, would have been easier if wife wasn’t down with her back. Getting tired of my own cooking.!

Famously, Chinese food was loaded with MSG, to which a lot of folks are intolerant. That's changed in many restaurants, but not all. So many no omit it in my area that I no longer say "No MSG", but I am lucky.

Just realised cholula hot sauce also doesn't agree with me.
I'm about to have it with tacos right now. I've cleared a path to the toilet.

Cholula on tacos is different. I love the stuff on eggs or bicuits and gravy.

It's not that there aren't any good Mexican restaurants, there aren't ANY. Having a distribution network for the products necessary to produce good food would be a must. My wife's aunt lives in Holland, previously she lived in Southern California and loved Mexican food. Something as simple as corn tortillas cannot be had there, to listen to her "The don't eat corn over here, it is considered animal feed"...so she always packs some in her suitcase.

They are soft until cooked so she's good to go … nothing like that smell of the tortilla hitting hot oil.

Ah. Thanks for that. We must get them precooked. They are already crispy.

We can get those as well but it's always better when you fry them up fresh … same for flour tortillas.
Also, you can take the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles before cooking to make fresh tortilla chips. YUM!! ![:)](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Paddy, If you can get Masa Harina or Corn flour along with a cast iron press, you can make corn tortillas for pennies. www.amazon.com/Victoria-TOR-003-FBA_TOR-003-Tortilla-Press/dp/B00HWEIKZO/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=tortilla+press&qid=1558301389&s=gateway&sr=8-3Flour tortillas are nothing but flour, salt, and baking powder along with water and shortening (I prefer lard) and a good tortilla skillet. www.amazon.com/Lodge-Griddle-Pre-seasoned-Pancakes-Quesadillas/dp/B00008GKDN/ref=sr_1_3?crid=255MZP3N9EYCP&keywords=lodge+cast+iron+10.5+inch+griddle&qid=1558301632&s=gateway&sprefix=lodge+cast+iron+10.5%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-3Again, pennies per tortilla, and soooo much better. If you go down that road, I can share my recipe on flour tortillas...never bothered making the corn tortillas, we don't eat them much, and they are pretty cheap in the southwest...I am sure homemade are much better...some day I will go down that rabbit hole. Not sure how duty fees work for food items, but I would be glad to ship you some canned chipotle chiles, and spices that might be rare over there...I have some tried and true recipes for Carnitas, which is Mexican braised pork, Chile Verde which is pork stew with tomatillo's (green tomatoes) Carne Asada, etc.... Or you can just drop by, for a spell.

6.5 cups flour 2 Tablespoons Baking Powder 1 Tablespoon Salt 1/2 cup Shortening (or lard) 2 Cups Approximate Lukewarm water.
Mix Flour, Baking powder, Salt and shortening by hand until mixture becomes coarse in texture.
Add water a little at a time, Mix until dough pulls away from sides of bowl without sticking....knead about 30-40 times.
Grease hands with shortening/ lard and rub over the dough ball with a film of the shortening lard to keep crust from forming, put a towel over it let it sit for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle board or countertop with flour, pinch off a golf sized ball of dough and roll it flatten, and roll with a rolling pin turning and flipping as yo go to try and roll out a circular shape...the shape does not affect the taste....Nice uniform shaped tortilla's take time...still working on it.
Roll to about 10 inches, if the tortilla starts wrapping around the rolling pin, sprinkle flour sparingly on the surface as a release agent.
Put onto a lightly greased cast iron skillet med-med hi heat, and flip when lightly browned....when I am making large batches, I sometimes cool the skillet down, scrub it, dry, heat up on burner and re-oil and carry on...sometimes the flour residue really builds up.
I described it as being harder than it should be....after a few times it is pretty natural, and the tortillas are great days later when put into airtight containers after they have cooled down.
