Well - to me, "traditional" is what my mother made when I was growing up: lots of prepared foods (casseroles, cooked vegetables, meat was the centerpiece of a meal, baked goods, etc.)
I eat most of my vegetables raw, almost never mix things together (except for a salad), meat is more of a "flavoring" than the main thing - and (except for whole-grain bread) no baked goods: cookies, cakes, donuts, etc.
Yes, I started to think about this as I posted my reply
; what people mean by traditional. You're right, it's subjective! And yes, the rawness of your veg and the minimalism of your meat do sound unusual. I need to eat more veg I think, but at least, like you are doing, I have cut out all refined carbohydrates. I have also cut out most starchy carbos too, ( cereals, potatoes, corn, etc ). Thanks for explaining what you meant.
