When I heard what Cordelia had for lunch, I said, "No wonder she's underweight," even though her lunch was quite fattening. How come?? | ||

Did she have to walk long distances to acquire her lunch? Was she a tuna fisher who had to haul in her catch single-handed? Was there something about her lunch that would cause her stress? Or was it simply that she was eating something very fattening, so you assumed that she had been advised to gain weight? Did she have to swim to collect molluscs from the sea bed? Did she eat large animals (eg moose) for lunch after wrestling them to submission? Did she eat shark? | ||

Does the food she eats also serve as a laxative? Is her food even appetizing? Is it something you or I would eat? | ||

Climbing Mt. Everest is at least as dangerous as bulemia, but no one says such climbers have a mountaineering disorder. OK, end of sermon. Even the health police would probably not say Cordelia has an eating disorder.

Was her meal composed of more than one dish? You say the total amount of food she ate was not unusual, but what about the composition of the meal? Relevant what she drank?

Did you conclude from what she was eating now that whatever she ate before must have been very non-fattening? Before, would she have had the same thing without the potatoes? The potatoes without whatever else she had with them? Did she drink anything relevant? Is it relevant what she ate apart from potatoes? Something that contains a lot of calories? fat? sugar? protein? | ||

With the potatoes did she eat Meat? Fish? Poultry? Salad? Vegatables? She was asked to eat more Potatoes to gain weight but negated the effect of this by only eating salad with them? | ||

Did she have something to drink with her meal that prevented her gaining weight? Did she eat or drink some kind of laxative? Something nauseating, so she had to vomit? | ||

Was it oil? Like the potatoes would have been more fattening had they been made with animal oil rather than vegetable oil? | ||

So it's not a fish, meat, poultry or vegatable. Hmmm Fruit? Dairy product? type of nut? seed? Is it a common thing to see this eaten with potatoes ? (we Irish take our potatoes very seriously but our imagination does not run beyond a knob of butter!!) | ||

Just another thought. Would what she had with her potatoes be considered by a person with a larger appetite to be merely garnish? | ||

Is it something weird like a chocolate covered potato? Is the food combination with... candy? something from the fat food group? Is this like a Dessert potato? One that is made from ice cream and covered with chocolate powder to make it look like a potato? | ||

A chip butty?* *In the US, I think this would be called a French Fry Sandwich. Not sure if you have them over there, but we certainly have them in this neck of the woods :-) | ||

Not sure if you have them over there, but we certainly have them in this neck of the woods :-) I've never heard this term, but you're basically right; what she eats are potato sandwiches (although with mashed potatoes rather than French fries). That's what she eats because her doctor told her to gain weight.So now it should be easy to figure out why Cordelia (who is this forum's very own FN) said, "No wonder she's underweight." | ||

Is it the lack of proteins which prevents her from gaining weight? Or simply that any reasonable person would be horribly sick after eating a mash sandwich? | ||

Is it that carbohydrates make you feel very full very quickly, and thus disinclined to eat? Or is it that anyone seeing her stuff herself with chip butties will think she is bulimic and refuse to serve her? | ||

An interesting puzzle but......... In Ireland as you all know we eat a lot of potatoes(spuds). We are also very fond of butter and if i were having a mashed spud sandwich i'd layer the bread thickly with butter and then butter the mashed potato also . So wouldn't that be doubly fattening and accordingly make Cordelia put on the necessary weight. My wife is always nagging me about the amount of butter that I use and thinks I'll die with either a spud or bacon butty in my hand. Here's hoping!! | ||
