One food I realized I can't abide is calamari. To me it looks like fried tarantulas.

The steamed cake sounds very good. One of my favorite cakes is carrot cake made with apple sauce and reduced sugar. My grandma who was a chef, used to make a wonderful chocolate cake using sauerkraut and another cake made with zucchini and bananas.

Too many sweets at once make me ill and its like I can feel them in my bloodstream. They leave a coat on my tongue and a chalky taste in my mouth. After eating too much sweet chocolate, the affect is much like drinking too much alcohol.

Have you ever heard of palate cleansers before and after a meal? This one restaurant I went to cleansed your palate with a fruit drink prior to eating.
