I was able to visit a Whole Foods on the way home from the beach with my mom last Thursday. I wish, I wish so much, that it was closer, that I could visit it every week, and buy all my grass-fed beef and cow parts from them. Last week I bought grass-fed sirloin, grass-fed beef marrow, and grass-fed beef liver from them.
Liver I had tried previously, but I did not like the taste, and it was commercial grain-fed, non organic liver. This grass-fed liver, I also do not really like the taste of.. although I can stand to swallow small pieces of it if I don't chew too much. I'm not sure of how healthy the liver is though, for I've heard that it should be bright red, whereas this liver is a slightly muddy red, so perhaps it is not the healthiest liver. I don't know if I would like liver from a perfectly healthy animal or not.
Marrow I had also tried previously, and it was also commercial grain-fed non organic cheap marrow that I tried, and I didn't like it. It had a very nasty smell embedded into the bones and reeking into the marrow which made it taste nasty and gross. This grass-fed marrow however, is absolutely delicious.. it tastes to me like butter and cream but without the dairy taste, a tad bit saltier I think from a bit of blood/juice in the marrow, and quite amazing. I am amazed at the difference in taste from the cheap commercial marrow to this grass-fed marrow, and I wish WF was closer so that I could buy this marrow more often.
My Birthday was on the 9th, and I allowed myself to indulge in whatever foods I wanted for that day.. My dad took me out to a japanese habachi restaurant that night and I drank a shirley temple soda(sprite mixed with cherry juice), and ate miso soup, fried rice, rare cooked steak, raw sashimi of salmon, albacore, and ahi tuna(my fave sushi), and noodles. Across the street was a Chocolate Factory, and I got from there a bunch of Chocolates to eat as well, including a chocolate brownie, oreo cookie bar, milk chocolate bar, and milk chocolate peanut butter cup. They also brought me a small bit of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream at the restaurant for my birthday which I ate some of. I still have leftover chocolates which I will finish off that bag tonight, with a bottle of raw milk, after the sun sets. After that I am going to try to go fully raw, and trying to switch to mainly raw animal foods, while recently I have been mainly raw fruit. Raw dairy will have to be my supplement of raw fat until and if I can return to whole foods again to buy more marrow and steak that hasn't had the fat trimmed off. I still have some marrow leftover though.
I think a diet with raw grass-fed steak, liver, and marrow, supplemented with a couple raw egg yolks, raw butter when my marrow runs out, and a little bit of raw fruit and raw honey as a treat and for hydration since I am fasting for Ramadan while driving a hot car with no a/c for work.. I think this diet should be good, and I will try to keep to it during Ramadan. I am also hoping that Ramadan can help regulate when I eat, so that I don't have to eat so often, since I heard it is better for carnivores to eat one big meal once a day rather than small meals throughout the day.
