food - not so good as I thought

You often hear people say: I LOVE Food! They even have a name for themselves: Foodies, but you don't hear people say: I hate food. The latter are called picky eaters, but even the most picky have their favs (usually, I noticed, plain chicken and pasta).

Since I'm dieting I'm really trying to figure out what I think tastes great and what I've probably think tastes great but isn't quite worth it. Also my palette has become more discerning -- are dishes at restaurants all they're cracked up to be?

Questionable Tastes:

Pasta Sauce - Nothing wrong with this, but the store bought ones just seem to taste like sugar and salt.

Salad Greens - Aside from argula, these are just tasteless leaves. I think people just eat it for texture.

Chicken - Unless prepared right, this tastes like bland textured substance.

Tofu - Ditto for this one.

Yogurt - Tangy, sugar

Frozen Vegetables - water chewy things

Tea - Like drinking the earth; except for chamomile, irritates my stomach

apples - too sweet

orange juice - too acid-y

Sore bought bread loaves - taste like saw dust

granola bars -- too sugary

What I do like:

Chocolate

All fishes

Steak

Frenchfries

Spinach

Arugula

Oranges and grapefuit

Mangoes

Avocado

Rice

Whole wheat bread

Any kind of bread
