chickenfeet: (fishy)

No, I'm not going to do the meme. FWIW I think I score something like 89/100 and I don't think there is anything I wouldn't try on the list. It's not like I have an aversion to Michelin 3 starred restaurants but my bank account does.

What's interesting me is the things people say they would never try. Now, I understand that vegetarians and others with dietary restrictions are going to have things they won't try and I get that some people are squicked by insects or innards and so on but some of the exclusions just seem really weird to me. Why would anyone be averse to gumbo or salted lassi or lapsang souchong? Chacun a son gout and all that but I do find some of it a bit puzzling.

Now, for me, the only things I absolutely wouldn't eat are primates (much too close to cannibalism). endangered species, cat and bear (both for entirely sentimental reasons). You can bring on the grilled rice field roaches, throw another koala on the barbie or open a jar of fermented fishy things. No worries!

And also, Lapsang Souchong is delightful. And so are Arbroath Smokies. Though, maybe not together.

They would probably be quite good together. I think of Arbroath Smokies as being mainly a breakfast thing and I'm definitely a coffee person in the morning. If I were a tea person I could imagine the smoky tea with the smoky fishy things.

I kind of like lapsang in the afternoon, but I do see your point.

All of this talk of good food is just making me more excited to return to the market next week...
