With the Marmite, it certainly wasn't a case of love at first taste, but it seems possible that I could conceivably develop a taste for it. Maybe. Heck, what do I know? I used to eat limburger cheese with my grandfather. Glad you enjoyed the pages.

Made me think of that cosy old favourite, honey. So sweet, so flavoursome - and just plain bee spit, when all's said and done :-) <br />Am intrigued by your reserving judgement on Marmite - here in the UK it's even advertised on TV as a spread you'll either really love or really hate (which is a brave ad campaign, if you think about it!) <br />Very much enjoyed your novel pages and critiques - would love to read more!!<br />Take care<br />Karlathe writing padhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221319693189380703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-38953465716361967322011-07-08T21:04:56.239-04:002011-07-08T21:04:56.239-04:00Hi, Skippy.

Our kids were eating raw oysters when they were real young ... and they still eat 'em.

That meant turtle soup. Yipppeee! One of my fondest memories of childhood is when we moved into our home that my parents had worked so hard to buy - That first night,amid all the boxes and deritus, we sat and ate turtle soup, awed by our brand new home. It was so cool.<br /><br />Yes, I think turtles are cute and are great pets, but the make some dang delicious soup.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind comments, especially since you're a teacher. (You may teach driver's ed, but I'm gonna tell myself you teach English, ok?) A friend coerced me into trying escargot once. I'm a fan of garlic, so I liked the garlic butter, but the snail? Not so much.<br /><br />Hi, Starting Over. So you eat peas now, huh? Too funny. I love fresh peas, but they were never high on the love scale for my hubby or kids. In fact, my dear husband once led our kids in an impromptu dinner table cheer: while tapping their knives and forks on the table, they all yelled, "Peas suck! Peas suck! Peas suck!" (Life at our house was never boring ...)<br /><br />Hi, Delores. Really? You like head cheese? My husband does, too, but he hasn't eaten it in years. I strongly suspect he never knew how it was made, though. I didn't either, until I found that website with step-by-step instructions. YUK! I'm thinking we're probably better off not knowing how some of our food is made. <br /><br />Hi, Dianne. Sorry for ruining your appetite. HA! Thanks for your "first impressions" critique. I appreciate it, but will wait until later to add my comments to it.

This means that I will now eat peas.<br /><br />I have had octopus, well, sort of. It was put in front of me at a special gourmet dinner and I actually looked at it for a full 5 minutes before I passed it to someone who would eat anything. It made a squishy, crackling noise when you touched it. <br /><br />I do love M & M's though, although I am not sure of those new pretzel ones.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-26733985650348604672011-07-08T07:59:36.412-04:002011-07-08T07:59:36.412-04:00Your blog is absolutely wonderful.
