No eggplant, squash, onions, peppers, and such? Just greens? Sounds boring.

Also, no organ meat?

Most people in the US don't eat organ meats (other than what's in hotdogs).

That's too bad. Fried liver, delicious if they're plump and juicy. Chicken hearts, they're like little meat popcorns. I don't know if pig ears are considered organs, but they're crunchy and fun to eat.

I had fried pig ears on a salad at The Spotted Pig in NYC and they were f'ing fantastic. If I could source pig ears, I'd eat nothing but pig ears from now on.

And bone marrow. Om nom nom nom nom.

You need to visit more Chinese food markets.

No, I don't avoid any of the above. I do avoid grains, starchy vegetables like potatoes and plantains, rice and beans.

Everything else is fine. I use onions and garlic more than anything else. Broccoli or asparagus when I feel like having a side dish. Green chili whenever I can. But I eat far more meat than vegetables.

I've been experimenting a little with organ meat. To be honest, except for liver, it's generally not that appetizing to me. So I don't eat it.
