When heading to your local pub for a beverage and a feed, popular menu items are a burger and chips, a chicken parmie and chips, fish and chips, calamari and chips, burritos, wedges and nachos. If you look at all these dishes you will notice the lack of a very important ingredient – COLOR! As a rule of thumb, try to avoid excess amounts of beige foods. Beige foods include chips, wedges, fried fish, calamari, parmie, corn chips and burritos. A common factor with these foods is they tend to be deep-fried and are high in fat and salt.
So next time you are ordering some grub at your local pub, remember to add some colour. Here are some suggestions:
- Burger & fries: Ask them to hold the fries and get a side salad.
- Fish & chips: Order your fish grilled with salad and a few chips.
- Chicken Parmie: Ask for a side of steamed vegies and some mash.
- Nachos: Order your nachos with a small amount of cheese, sour cream and guacamole and ask for extra jalopeanos, salsa, chillies and capsicum.
- Wedges: Choose a baked potato instead and top with beans and salad toppings with a small amount of cheese,
- Burritos: Ask for extra salad toppings and only small amounts of cheese and sour cream.
