Getting HPF to eat is harder now than when she was little. Now she tries to file Geneva Convention complaints over parsnips.
Shouldn't have let her read Calvin & Hobbes.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Lilly won't eat spicy food, where the definition of spicy appears to include "was once in the same room as a pepper, maybe."
That would be me. I would be ashamed of my wimpy tolerance for spicy food, except for life is too damn short to force myself to eat food that makes me unable to taste anything except AAH HOT WTF HOT SPICEY WTF.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Caribbean food is delicious. I had it once. Conch meat, who knew.
Goat is okay, but I don't like lamb. Well-cooked venison is delicious. Alligator is okay, frog legs are disgusting. I've never eaten squirrel.

I have eaten a lot of Brunswick stew in South Georgia, so I assume I've eaten squirrel.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Goat is delicious, but I've never had it prepared anywhere that wasn't full of bones - in both Jamaican and Indian curries, the preparation method seems to be to just hack it to pieces with a cleaver and throw it in the sauce. But if you're willing to pick around a little, dayum, so nummy.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Goat is okay, but I don't like lamb.
More lamb for me, yay! It is easily my favorite meat. I've also enjoyed goat the few times I've had it.
The few times I've had venison, it was poorly prepared (cooked to the point of dryness) but I think I would like it if it were prepared well.

Lord, out here in the West, it's the default to put peppers in everything. I despise peppers! They burn my tongue, and the really hot ones affect my lungs! Why is there peppers in my egg salad sandwich!
I need to force myself to try vegetables. My mother was a vegetable-mush cook as well, along with pork-chops-equal-leather. Daddy was happy to eat it all.
ION, I just had an interesting political discussion with some co-workers on net neutrality and utilities and the purpose of government and why it's important that we at least try to get some fair treatment for all people.
This talking to people thing has its upsides.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Goat? Yay!
Lamb? Yay!
Buffalo? Yay!
Ho? Yay!

I had venison too young, I think, and possibly not prepared well, but I'd try it again. I will try goat one of these days. For sure. Rabbit meat is supposed to be tasty; I've never had it.
I once bit into the hottest pepper known to humankind while eating Ethiopian food, so I've been gun shy there. Oh, man. I'm sure my memory is being a drama queen, but I feel like I couldn't taste anything for hours. Definitely the rest of the meal was a wash.
It reminded me mostly of pot roast.
I do love me some pot roast. Noted.
