Natto! A Food Report

[Jasper]

It's about as bizarre as life generally is.  I think nothing of it.

I've heard that our brain has a filter in place, which when removed leaves our psyches exposed to the onslaught of unimaginable Lovecraftian horrors, like cheese.

Natto is OK with white rice, and a bit of soy sauce. You can throw some egg into the hot rice, as well.

It takes several tries to get used to it, but if you eat it every morning it stops seeming so disgusting.

But I just don't understand why you would torture yourself.  It's not like it's any healthier than other foods or anything like that.  It doesn't cure cancer or anything...

I just have to ask Nigel WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? 

I see questionable food as a personal challenge.

THIS

in other news my local supermarket has started selling japanese foods. :happy dance:

I think cheese is actually a really bizarre food, but Westerners are just used to it.

I mean, it's the coagulated liquid secretions of the mammary glands of mammals, variously aged and fermented.

Mmm.  This really got me wanting a grilled coagulated liquid secretions of the mammary glands of mammals sandwich.

Yesterday I asked for a cheese that is "footy and assy. No, more bitter and pungent than that" and my cheese dealer gave me "Liederkranz" which is like Limburger, but assier and more bitter. I git a cheese high.

The body does a funny thing with food. The first time we eat a weird new food, it doesn't seem like "food" and may be repugnant. but after you eat and digest it a couple of times, your body recognizes it as food, and therefore appetizing.

Beer is like cheese.

"footy and assy"

Are you sure those are the culinarily correct terms?

When I walked to the store earlier for wine, I couldn't resist getting a wee tiny wedge of blue cheese. I'm hoping that the cheese rush I get from it will help me sleep despite the wine, which usually keeps me up.

[Nast]

But now you're going to have craaaaazy cheese dreams!

I cannot go to the grocery store unaccompanied or I will blow my money on fancy cheeses and beer.

I wish this worked on me.  No amount of cheese and wine give me weird dreams.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I have crazy dreams anyway...

Try going to bed with a nicotine patch on. If you don't smoke, use a 7mg patch.

That just reminds me of Coffee and Cigarettes.
"Sometimes I like to drink a lot of coffee before I go to sleep, because it makes my dreams go really fast"

Except that it doesnt work that way, at least not for me. I just have incredibly disturbing dreams and bouts of sleep paralysis when I try to jar myself awake.

Oh, and every once in a while I LIKE to eat natto... couldn't do it every day, but its really not that bad. I like to chase it with a bit of wasabi.
