Natto is delicious.
I am making sausage and kraut with granny smith apples right now.
Needs either noodles or toasty bread on the side.
On my honeymoon, we went to New Orleans and I tried the escargot. I vowed then and there that I would try anything one time.
I’ve pretty much stuck by that; although I now have a small list of foods I don’t have to try again, and won’t.
That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
For the record, I love Kim Chee, and have never found a cheese I didn’t like.
I am unlikely to find any of the scary cheeses in this country.
Some peroghies would be good.
I like eel too!
It was about all I could do to convince them to let me order eel in a local Vietnamese restaurant...
Boy oh boy do I love some pierogies(piroshki). Gotta put some cheese and sour cream with em.
And ya cant forget the kielbasa.
YUMMY!!
Disgust seems to go beyond basic emotional reactions to something more evolutionary about survival. Probably in genetic memory of various cultures as what is safe and what isn’t.
Oh, and I absolutely love Natto, putrid aged cheeses, Durian, and all that disgusting stuff- except Surströmming. Something about fermented fish (other than fish sauce) that I can’t take.
Have you ever tried Angulas (baby river eels)? They are amazing and tender. It looks like a plate of cooked pasta.
my fav meal. cheddar/potato perogies fried with bacon and onions with baby baby beef liver.
Visited S.Korea last year, and Kim Chee is everywhere in endless varieties. Never found one I could love, although I found a few I could tolerate.
I vowed to taste everything put before me, since I'll probably never return, but there was one I swore off - in Korean open-air markets they sell a delicacy hot and fresh, stir-fried on the spot. I was going to sample it, then the smell hit me - pure dirt. Turns out it was stir-fried grubworms.
Bourdain says you should always eat what is offered, with gusto (fake it if you have to) in order to not offend the locals. Guess I failed that time...
I have. I thought the stink was over-rated unless there is another breed they have in Hawaii. It did have a cheese type smell you don’t expect from a fruit, but it tasted like an over-ripe banana (with a similar texture).
That is what I’m having tonight!
