What countries do you want to visit?

My thoughts on the past was where would I want to go for the different cuisine. But now that I make everything myself that list has dwindled down.

Original list:

Paris, London, Greece, Italy, China.

However now that list has changed because of our diet.

New list:

I originally wanted to go to Paris to eat all the baked goods. The chocolate desserts. Yum! But now we don’t eat refined sugar. So unless their chocolate is made with coconut sugar or honey, I wouldn’t be able to eat it. So maybe I’ll just go for the breads. Because in Europe they don’t have the preservative folic acid, which I am allergic to. So I can eat all the breads and not get sick. I’ve switched to a pure flour down here; but I’m constantly making bread, because it only lasts well three days.

London. Because of the beans on toast. I love toast, and I loved beans. I thought the combination would have been delicious. However now I don’t eat beans. Not because I don’t want to, but because it affects the baby I’m feeding through breast milk. It gives them terrible gas. So for the sake of my babies I won’t eat beans until I’m done having kids. Also, not to critique, I’m not a big fan of the rest of their foods. So maybe just go there to sightsee.

Greece. I think Greece is a place I would eat anything the offer. Because I really want to go there. The pictures are so beautiful!

Italy. Is another place I desperately want to go. The pastas!! I love pasta. I would love to learn how to make fresh pasta from a chef in Italy. That would be amazing. They also don’t use the folic acid preservative. So I could eat it all!! And I would eat them all!! Hopefully can go there in the future with the hubby.

China. I really wanted to go for the authentic Chinese foods. But sadly we cut out soy from our diet. I make my open sauces now. I also only use coconut sugar. So I wouldn’t be able to eat anything there. No soy, no msg, so refined sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no natural flavors, etc. So I won’t be going.

So I guess Paris, Italy, and Greece is left. Maybe I’ll go to Paris for bread and art. Italy for all the pasta. And Greece for the foods, scenery, the people, the history, etc. Three places should be easy to accomplish in this lifetime. But we will see.
