57: Food, Glorious Food

My beans give me a ‘nutritionally-balanced’ dog food - designed for working dogs.  It comes in the form of dry pellets - like most dog foods these days.

Needless to say this is not what they eat themselves. 

I don’t mean that they don’t eat my pellets (but they don’t); rather that they don’t eat a pre-prepared ‘nutritionally-balanced’ human food.

So why can’t I, like them, eat a variety of foodstuffs which overall provide a balanced diet.

For example, TOWTSH every Saturday evening goes out and comes back with something called Indian food - and from my background reading this seems to be food prepared according to recipes and ingredients that are loosely based on those originating  in the sub-continent of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.  TOWTSH seems to prefer this kind of food to all others.

So, why can’t I eat  it?

When I look imploringly at him as he eats it, he says things like “No, this is not for dogs” or “This is too spicy for you”.

But there must be dogs in the sub-continent. What do they eat?

I’m willing to risk it - as an alternative to my pellets?   After all, if it wasn’t for the odd carrot (thanks, Sue) or banana (thanks, Lisa ands Sarah), I would have a monofood diet - and that can’t be good for man nor beast, can it?

Could someone have a word with them please.
