I'm sorry, no, I don't get it at all. I guess I just don't have/don't have *yet* urges like that. Which I suppose makes it easier for me. Neither body nor mind is after kids.
I just get angry now when people hassle me about food. A few years ago I'd answer questions reasonably, although I'd be embarrassed. Then I had a mate who would attack me on the subject every time she got drunk - only when drunk, fortunately. If she was doing it sober, I'm not sure I could have put up with her as a mate - and after this had happened quite a few times, usually with nothing in particular to kick it off, I just got so sick of it. Now I tend to snap even at people who are innocently curious. The only person I can't snap at is my boss because he controls my income.
For some reason, it feels like a bigger deal to try and claim to be allergic to things than to just say "Basically, all I eat is bread and cheese".
I used to quite like toast with a very thin layer of marmite on one side and a very very thin layer of honey on the other. Yes, on the same piece of toast. I haven't had that one recently though, because no matter how careful I am, it always feels like the honey is too thick. Don't know if I'm just buying the wrong kind of honey. A friend's mother accidentally added cheese on toast to my diet by pointing out that I like toast and I like cheese so how on earth can I say I don't like cheese on toast? I was only about eight at the time and to shy to argue... and she was right. I love it but unfortunately, our grill at home is permanently covered in meat fat so when you switch it on, first it gives off foul-smelling smoke, sometimes it catches fire and it always drips meat fat on the cheese. Not something I can ever eat at home then.
I can eat pasta and cheese together in that I put a couple of pieces of pasta in my mouth and then a pinch of cheese but I can't put the cheese in the pasta bowl, it goes all melty and stringy and that's nasty. Stringy stuff is really problematic. Eating pasta is a messy process and one I prefer not to have witnesses to. I agree completely about combining things not being worth the effort. That it gets eaten at all is a big enough deal.
