Creature of Habit

I'm not very adventurous when it comes to food. Since I was a kid i've always liked the same foods, same meal combinations and same beverages. A change in diet is always a surprising and demanding endeavor. To this day, my mom still is surprised if I ever eat mushrooms or anything green. It's understandable though when looking at my dietary habits. Here are some examples of my steadfast habits and "usuals" at eateries I frequent.

Let's start at the most basic. School lunches.

If I brought lunch to school I would have one of the following sandwiches:
1) Roast Beef, Swiss Cheese, and Ranch Dressing on a roll.
2) Salsalito Turkey, Swiss Cheese, and Ranch Dressing on a roll.
Simple sandwiches supplemented with chips anda soda purchased at school. I would then use the 75 cents leftover from buying the chips and drink to buy spree and charleston chews at the school store. I had this pretty much every day for 4 years.

But what about eating out. Here's a breakdown of restaurants.

Subway: Turkey, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles, Banana Peppers, Cool Ranch Doritos, and Ranch on a wheat roll.

Pot Belly's: Wreck with pepperoni, no ham, lettuce tomato, ranch, on white.

Wendy's: #2, no onions.

Gallery: St. Asaph with Fries

Carvings: Logan's with Potato Chips.

And finally. The end all be all of habitual eating. I have quite literally never eaten anything other than the following item at the following establishment.

Out To Lunch Deli in Wilton, CT: Bacon, Egg, and Cheese with the chronic (hashbrowns and hot sauce) on a hard roll.

Comfort food plays a big roll in my life. As a kid I always had the same foods on a bad day. My mom would make a cheesy, saucy pasta for birthdays. We'd make pancakes or real waffles on special occasions, and the Jewish tradition requires many familiar foods on specific holidays.

I believe that, because of these factors, i feel better with foods I have had many times before. A stressful schedule remedied by familiar nourishment.
