Either discontinued, difficult to obtain, or inedible for dietary or moral reasons.

I was grocery shopping earlier today and I realized how much I missed the Nesquik banana milk. I know it was disgusting for several reasons, but as a kid, it was like my favorite thing. If I could get some legit good banana flavoring, I'd totally add some to a batch of oat milk. But that's for another day.

:sicko-wistful:

    i miss bread in all its varied forms. realized i have a wheat allergy like 10 years ago and it's been shit ever since.

    i've managed to adjust my own cooking so it's not so bad but i can't eat so many things, and eating out is always a gamble as to whether or not i'm going to spend the rest of the day vomiting

      My partner's out on the couch right now because she accidentally ate something she didnt realize had wheat in it. It's hard to appreciate the sheer number of things that a wheat allergy cuts out until you're forced to make those changes.

      One of the grocery stores near me started selling garbanzo bean flour in bulk recently and it's been a lifesaver. You cant do everything you can with wheat flour, but there's plenty that's good enough if that's an option for you

        ugh, that's awful! i hope they feel better soon. :soviet-heart: and yeah, it honestly really sucks because even stuff that's allegedly "gluten free" is often not safely prepared in a separate space, so it's super easy to end up with like, normal fries or whatever that got fried in the same fryer as the breaded chicken or what have you. cross contamination isn't nearly as bad in my personal experience but it still hurts

        i'm always impressed at the stuff people have managed to turn into flour though, i didn't even know garbanzo beans were an option. i'll definitely look into it! i'm partial to rice flour for a lot of my cooking now but it's always nice to have some variety.

        i don't even have celiac either, which is the real bad shit! but even so much as a breadcrumb and i feel like someone's knifing me in the gut for the rest of the day :cri:

        (and sometimes longer, depending on how bad the exposure was. just not a fun time.)
