The Mediterranean Diet - it's bloody expensive, isn't it?

Of course, if I report to one piece of fish per day that will stretch the 2LB bag of orange roughy out to a whole 2 days... a lot less cholesterol as well, even though as far as meats go the orange roughy has a very low cholesterol count...

1. Umm a serving of fish

or any meat is only about 4 oz.

You're eating a pound of fish a day?

[Deja Q]

6. You should see the size of my

stomach.

:rofl:

My cholesterol must be off the charts if 4oz is one serving. No wonder the doc warned me about my kidneys... No kidneying...

2. I could live on

the Mediterranean Diet. In fact, I could live on the Mediterranean. Further fact, when I win the Big Lotto next week (hee, hee)I'm flying over and buying a nice roomy yacht and hiring all the appropriate crew. Just sail from port to port...ah, the good life.

3. I wanna live on a Greek Island

That would suit me just fine. :D

All the olives, feta, and white wine I could stand. :D

5. The white wine I'm having now

The olives will be in the salad I make later. Sadly, out of feta.

Edit to add: do you like Greek music? I have a couple of CD's of Greek tunes, plus some flamenco and Arabic/North Afician stuff I listen to at work.

7. Quite. I wouldn't mind living on a Mediterranean either...

:rofl:

9. Now, if you're going to be bad

you won't be invited to the Big Yacht Housewarming Party (complete with airfare... hee, hee)

4. Most finfish are low in cholesterol, last I read.

Orange roughy is better than many, but can be expensive. Back in the day, I could've LIVED on seafood. Swordfish, haddock, smelts...lobstah...seafood newburg...

[Deja Q]

8. Pollock (imitation crabmeat) is not only better re: cholesterol than orange roughy,

it's a lot less cheaper too.

:9

Crab legs are delish too. :9 But really spiky and hard to get open...

10. In the Mediterranean, is it just called "The Diet?"
