<p>( um Himom- don’t you also have SPAM sushi? 
- haven’t been to Hawaii, but I have seen it sold @ Uwajimaya)</p>
<p>I like some Japanese foods- but in general seems very salty-and while I do love rice- it has a high glycemic index & I may be pre-diabetic- so I try and watch that sort of thing.</p>
<p>I like Thai, Indian and love Vietnamese- the French influence was a good thing for the food I think.</p>
<p>I feel for those of you who have a real sweet tooth- from what I have read- the taste receptors are basically fixed when you are young- my mother didn’t give me many sweets- as I was the oldest- so I don’t get cravings for chocolate or sugar- but like the case with many subsequent children- with my siblings she apparently said “what the hell” & my sister & brother both struggle with their weight- my sister because of sweets & my brother- because he apparently is under the assumption that he is 15 & growing</p>
<p>On the rare cases when I do have a strong sugar craving ( like before my period), I find that eating a dill pickle does something to stop it. Otherwise- I eat what I want- but I mostly have healthy food in the house- no chips/candy/pastries ( ice cream counts as healthy cause there is milk in it sometimes I even get tofutti!)</p>
