We do too regularly have umeboshi--it's a vinegar that I use all the time, ha!
I actually don't remember the Absinthe, but I think that might be a symptom of the absinthe rather than my own memory. ;)
You've tried steak tartare, which I had in France. You've had salted lassi, which is basically plain lassi with some salt, sugar & cardamon. You're right, I have tried bludwurst (yuck).
What's Pocky? Is that some of those British biscuits?
Quoting wikipedia: "Umeboshi (Japanese: 梅干; literally "dried ume") are pickled ume fruits. Ume is a species of fruit-bearing tree in the genus Prunus, which is often called a plum but is actually more closely related to the apricot. Umeboshi are a type of tsukemono, or traditional Japanese pickled food, and are very popular in Japan. Many Japanese have Umeboshi for breakfast or lunch." Ok now vinegarbook.net says
( ... )
Okay fine, I'll un-underline umeboshi, but I'm sure I've had the pickled fruit at some point (and, damnit, having umeboshi "vinegar" around oughta count for something!). I'll bold the absinthe, and the Pocky--now I remember those.
I think I'm gonna try to cook up some poutine soon, though--need a bit more milk for curds, though (apparently 5 gallons of milk this week wasn't quite enough--FTW?).
For innocent bystander onlookers: yes, this is very much like what our normal life is like. =)
