Only-chips sandwich is the spice of life

For all you folks complaining about the same-old, same-old food at home or menus on food delivery service apps, stop whining and learn from Zoe Sadler, from the British country of Wales. The 25-year-old had been eating only sandwiches with chips - which the Welsh call crisps - as fillings, dry cereals and the occasional flaky bits (not with gravy) of Yorkshire pudding, the baked pudding made from a batter of eggs, flour and milk or water that Brits have as a side dish, for the last 23 years. Some kind of penance? A mannat she had made at the age of two? No, Sadler simply couldn't bear to eat and keep down any other food item. Unfortunately, she recently found out that she has multiple sclerosis (MS), which made her pull up her socks and lift her plate in an effort to 'eat healthy' - which, in her case, meant eating more kinds of things than just chips and bread.

To overcome her palate-barrier - it was the texture of every other kind of food that made her unable to eat them - she approached a hypnotherapist. Over sessions, Sadler is now able to ingest - and digest - food that includes rice, fruit and vegetables. For those who believe in that expression, 'Variety is the spice of life', clearly don't know the joys of non-varying meals. Having one kind of food over days and months and years would also make food inflation quite bearable.
