One of my weird food hangups

I don't know how people can eat more than one starch/grain at a meal.

Like when people eat bread and pasta in one sitting, or corn and potatoes, or noodles and rice, etc. My brain just screams "TOO MANY CARBS" and I can't eat them.

I guess it comes from having a mom who was really into nutrition and she was always careful about her food pairings. We always had a protein, a starch/carb, and two types of green/colorful veggies. 🍗🥔🥦🥗

Growing up in an Italian family, we always used the Italian bread to mop up the sauce after eating the pasta!

But I generally only want one carb at a meal. Thanksgiving is a major exception. (And Italian food is still another!)
