All this Seattle talk makes me glad this weekend is coming soon.
eta: Jesse, you should do what I do and just eat it (sushi it, I mean, not IT it) all the time. Then you wouldn't have that problem.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

My main food texture issue is broccoli--the taste is ok, if rather bland, but the top, with all those seed-y bits, is just yucko the way it feels in my mouth.

Food texture issues are just weird. My brain literally can't conceive of something being both desirably delicious and tactile-ly displeasing.
When I lost my sense of taste, I relied on texture to satisfy my tactile food needs. If I was out for dinner with friends, I'd decide what to order by deciding whether I wanted something crunchy, something cold, something hot, or greasy...
Regarding your second point, JZ, I love the flavour of vanilla, but can't stand the texture of pudding, so I'd never eat vanilla pudding.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hmmm. I love Japanese food (I lurve miso), and tend to avoid Indian and Vietnamese. Too many flavors/textures happening at once.

In general, I prefer the Indian aesthetic of WAY TOO MUCH ALL THE TIME (as seen in Bollywood and various masalas) to the Japanese aesthetic of spare purity (as seen in tea ceremonies and sushi).

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, yeah. But it gets pricey.

My house is so small that you could maybe put in a hidden mousehole if you tried hard. Or possibly a cat door between the kitchen and living room....

And, in a nutshell, the basic difference between the Hecubot and the juliana. (Though I still want to see the Bollywood remake of Fight Club.)

I love Japanese food, both teppanyaki and fresh sushi. And lots of Thai is exceedingly yummy to me, though my taste for the blazing hotness has decreased in recent years. But Chinese is hit or miss depending on how greasy/heavy it is, and despite several attempts I've hated Indian every time I've tried it. Only tried Korean once, but the taste/smell of kimchee convinced me never to try again.
Boy, my plan to eat a cheap homemade pizza tonight is looking much less appealing than it did before reading this conversation...
