Buffy ,'Chosen'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(If they're in my hot dogs, just hush, please).
Eat kosher hot dogs and bologna.
Oh, I actually LIKE that hot dogs & chicken nuggets use more of the animal than would otherwise be usable - I just don't want to know any detail. And seriously, if I could unsee the beef lips... shudder.
If I'd known what lamb fries were before tasting them, I doubt I would've been willing to. They're...surprisingly like chicken nuggets, though with a softer, less meaty texture.
Is there another word for "ethnic" food that I wouldn't have to put in quote marks?
International? Or, just specify the ethnicities in question -- Greek food and Peruvian food are pretty different.
This conversation reminds me of how ita teased me once because I freaked out about eating goat."How is that different from the meat you eat?" she asked. Still can't explain why it felt different, but I'm thinking of eating some in tribute.Either I'll think it's great, and she'd like being right, or possibly, my discomfort would be amusing. I hope it's not like deer, though. do not like. I asked my mom the other day if I tell them why, would some restaurant give a sample of goat? Cause it would be like me to order it with good intentions and end up with a leftover nobody wants.
If you've got Indian Buffet anywhere near you - that was how I sampled goat. (I'm not a fan) But then still had lovely chicken tikka and some kind of curry, so no loss.
I was a super picky kid (who has grown into a more adventurous eater as an adult, of course) so it's not so much that I'm worried Rose will eat nothing but PB&Js for the rest of her life. But I remember some epic battles over food with my mom when I was a kid, which I really want to avoid with my own kids, so more than anything, my goal is for all of us to be fairly relaxed about food. The Ellyn Satter approach works pretty well for us so far.
Zenkitty, my family ate like that, too. If my mom hadn't had a second husband, I might never have found my palate. He put us through a lot, but I owe him too.ETA: Good thought, Epic. Also, I found that Caribbean restaurants have sprung up all over around here...I should find some things I like.
Lilly won't eat spicy food, where the definition of spicy appears to include "was once in the same room as a pepper, maybe."
On the other hand, stick pretty much any Japanese food in front of her, and she'll chow the fuck down.
Jesse had the goat when we met Heather and India for Carribean food yesterday.
