Successful Cambridge Applicants Chat - 2006

I never liked many meats anyway. Anaemia can be a bit of a problem though - incidentally anyone know of any *edible* iron rich foods? Don't get me started on the ickiness of watercress

just googled it and apparently...
Excellent sources:
-Enriched breakfast cereals
-Cooked beans and lentils
-Pumpkin seeds
-Blackstrap Molasses
Good sources:
-Canned beans
-Baked potato with skin
-Enriched pasta
-Canned asparagus

And they should be eaten with:
-Fruits: Orange, Orange Juice, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapefruit etc
-Vegetables: Broccoli, brussels sprouts, tomato, tomato juice, potato, green & red peppers
-White wine
Hope that helps

Wow thanks arran !! Not loving the idea of pumpkin seeds, but lentils, cereals, beans, asparagus, strawberries, grapefruits etc are definite possibilities! White wine? Seriously? Score Had no idea strawberries were iron rich. What's enriched pasta?

sounds wicked.

much ado is my fave shakespeare play. that or midsummers i guess.

um....i like Taiming of the Shrew

They ALWAYS put on 'Taming of the Shrew' and 'Much Ado' in the summer... and cast very hot leads. Apparently Petruchio was gorgeous this year.. but due to my non-stop work experience and my visit to Edinburgh, I didn't get a chance to see. Dammit! Never mind.. there's always next.. I mean, this year. ^^.

Never read the book but I can understand your anger - same way you should never trust a skinny chef!

I haven't eaten meat for over 8 years so I can't really tell if that's the reason why I am tired all the time...hum, could also be due to the lack of sleep. I have been to my doctor about painful joints and about cuts taking extra long to stop bleeding but he assured me that both were not diet related at all.

Dried apricots and brocolli are harmless enough iron rich foods - especially the apricots...mmm. Try chocolate covered apricots, rich in iron, rich in fat...even better. No! Back to the watercress now!

Nothing - I used to be very skinny, but then I remembered that whole eat-to-live thing. I just object to emaciation being thrust in my face by the media like it's something desirable. I'd rather have a nice healthy BMI of 21 than osteoporosis, that's all.
