Lox is totally an acquired taste, and it is awesome!

[donutsweeper]

lox

*sighs*

I miss lox. You can't get decent lox in MN.

*wanders off*

[_medley_]

You poor thing. You moved away from the donuts and decent lox? *pets you* (I don't like lox, but damn, would I miss decent salsa if I moved to somewhere where it only came out of jars.)

[donutsweeper]

it's all what you grew up with isn't it?

*sighs*

It's not the ones the Doctor loves best who get better.

OOOOOOOOO. Shiny! *sits back and waits for meta*

[_medley_]

Didya watch the vid? Because it's interesting what she's done there.

[travels_in_time]

Not yet, but I will!

You'd try haggis? There are a couple of items you've crossed out that I've eaten and would eat again, but I hope I never have to be in the same room as haggis.

[_medley_]

It's...a texture thing? Eels and oysters and snails, I mean. I'm not promising I'd eat haggis, but I'd probably come closer to trying it than, say, snails.

[phoenix64]

You know, especially after doing this for myself I've realized I'm much more tolerant for things that come out of the ocean than I would have thought. I think the only sea creatures I crossed out were abalone and fugu. For some reason the thought of abalone grosses me out and fugu because food's not worth a near-death experience or worse.

[_medley_]

Ooh, I should've crossed off abalone. And you're very right about the fugu.

[donutsweeper]

I have no idea what a surprising number of those things are.

[_medley_]

There were lots that I didn't know, too. I only ate baba ganoush for the first time recently.

[donutsweeper]

that one I only know from MXC that weird dubbed 80's japanese game show- every episode they have someone named baba ganoush so I looked it up

[_medley_]

Hee! That sounds bizarre enough to be fun.

[joonscribble]

Japanese eel over a bed of rice is actually really good. I'd definitely take that over snake, but I also haven't ever had snake so maybe I'm missing out on something.

Pocky is also the most addictive thing EVER.

[_medley_]

Pocky is definitely addictive. And I'll take your word for it about the eel. It's not slimy? It seems like it'd be slimy.

[joonscribble]

Pocky is definitely addictive.

Now they have a type packaged as "Men's Pocky" because the chocolate is dark rather than milk. Yeah, I don't know why that makes it Men's but there you go. By the manufacturers of Pocky, I am a man. A man who loves his Men's Pocky and doesn't go for that Women's milk chocolate stuff.

It's not slimy? It seems like it'd be slimy.

The eel sushi probably is. But the eel over rice is cooked eel so it has the same texture as just cooked fish, really.

[_medley_]

I like dark chocolate a lot more than I used to. Dark chocolate Pocky sounds good. Men's Pocky--that's funny.

If cooked eel is the same texture as fish, I could probably eat it, then. Especially with rice.
