I like salt. Way more than is reasonable. In fact, it's probably what I should give up for Lent, but I'm not crazy.

I also love ginger, garlic & green onions. If I could grow those three things, plus maybe onions, potatoes, oregano, and basil I'd be set.

I actually prefer the low-sodium soy sauce. But still, YUM.

Yeah, but you have to start again from scratch on why you don't like Japanese.

Cause it's the same thing as Chinese! *w*

Liese, Lori too loves salt. She thinks it's something biological to Asians.

"Chinese food is defined by a flavor principle of soy sauce, ginger, garlic and green onions"

I love all of those flavors, except, I hate chinese food. For me if you left it at soy sauce, ginger, garlic and green onions without adding cornstarch to make a gravy, then we'd be good.

And, I love crunchy veggies. Well, if I have to have veggies, I'd prefer that they crunch.

I'm bon bon's food negative person.

I am Kat with a side of Lori when it comes to food.

I love Thai and Chinese and Indian food. I don't much like ginger, but I find I can avoid ginger-heavy foods in those cuisines. Japanese, I dislike. The whole miso undertaste gives me the mouth creeps.

Love Indian. Like a lot of Chinese and Thai. Like some Korean. Hate Japanese food. I hate seafood, so that's a bit limiting with Japanese. I've had tempura, but I don't dig it that much.

Food texture issues are just weird. My brain literally can't conceive of something being both desirably delicious and tactile-ly displeasing. The only foods I've ever had texture issues with were foods I hated the taste of, and I'll happily eat other stuff with the same texture as long as my tongue says it's tasty. Sometimes I feel like my tongue is stupid, or coarse and unrefined, and if it were more refined and sophisticated it'd reject a lot more.

I love that hidden passageway site. So cool! It's like living in the Clue house. As long as that doesn't come with the potential of Colonel Mustard coming at me in the kitchen with the Ladle of Doom without probably cause, it would be great.

I am so scoring pad thai tonight. Thanks for making me wicked hungry post-workout, people.

Happy to contribute.

Now I must go home early, because the migraine is kicking my ass. No more morning workouts. I need to get home and try sleeping this off ASAP.
