What I'm craving at the moment
Droewors: A weird South African dried sausage type thing that really no American version comes even close to and it's THIS THIS THIS that I literally wake up in the middle of the night absolutely CRAVING.
Orange truffles: Um, pretty self-explanatory? They're so good. And dairy free!
Mint truffles: Equally good. And also dairy free!
These three things hit my "umami" buttons. Which is the only thing that really still tastes good to me right now. That and peppermint and ginger. But Umami is the...richness of savory taste? Like, umami is more a depth of taste and flavor, rather than purely sweet, salty, sour, bitter. It's...layered. And the droewors, with its cloves and meat and dried and rich taste, hits that. And dark chocolate hits umami too, somehow. IDEK.
So, while I love the lions I'm still receiving that make me smile anytime I see one which means I smile a lot, which is really great, my poor abused tastebuds, that can't figure anything out, still love expensive dark chocolate (dairy free) and ... droewors. Go figure.
Anyway, all this is to, you know, rather backhandedly say, IF you're moved to buy me something to cheer me up, which is by NO MEANS expected in the slightest (especially after how y'all broke Factor75 and I'll be doing a review post of the [mostly] amazing food I've eaten from them so far), those are three things that would incredibly appreciated. As would Amazon GCs, more lions, or just, you know, pictures of something silly or reading a book you love and telling me about it. :)
And (after a nice reminder from someone on Twitter) my email address for Amazon: sarahsglyons at gmail
