86. I can't think of a single vegan whole food I don't love.

Yum to:

Kale sautéed with cumin, garlic and paprika.
Roasted Brussel sprouts
all the beans
quinoa, so long as it is rinsed first
all the nuts
all the fruits
sauerkraut
sweet potatoes

Yum. Yum. Yum.

It's been a long time since I ate any meat, poultry or fish, but I didn't like shellfish.
Never was crazy about cottage cheese.
Milk tastes disgusting and thick and ... gaggers.

I wish I could say I was strictly vegan but I can't resist fresh mozzarella with garden tomatoes and basil.
