Oh, wow. It’s Munday already. Put some of these in my askbox, and I will respond OOC.
✗: Walks on the beach or in a forest?
Beach. Because I’m afraid of bugs. A forest is more romantic, and I’d love to say I’m nature loving enough to lounge in a tree house, but bugs. I’d take the sun at the beach plz.
CHOCOLATE. Regular chocolate > vanilla. Occasional vanilla is ok! And nice!
My ex visited me once - and she loves the scent of vanilla. She knows the scent from bakeries in Germany. Our bakeries… erm, just smell like bread to me. And more often than not, they don’t have a smell. Eh. So, we were out in a shopping mall and she got really excited all the sudden. I was like ??? wat. She was like ‘I smell a bakery! It’s so nice! Let’s go buy some bread!’ Then I sniffed and was like ‘… no, that was not a bakery.’
She did not believe me and insisted on going to it. So I let her.
We stood outside of where the scent was coming from, her gaze horrified and incredulous at the actual location. Many people were walking in and out of the place.
“W-why?! How?!” She exclaimed in horrified betrayal.
“Now you see why I don’t like that smell?”
It’s the toilet. Our janitors here use cleaners with very strong scents, and every time I smell that particular odour of lavender/vanilla/etc™, I gag.
That said, I do like vanilla treats x’D Just not often.
Д: Strangest food you’ve eaten?
You’d really have to define strange. I’m South-east Asian and Chinese.Our weirdest culinary is bugs and balut and I haven’t eaten either.
Meanwhile I have eaten all kinds of herbs.My family thinks its strange I eat the herb which is tree bark,but I like its taste and texture after cooking.My ex thinks that I drink soup cooked with cordyceps - a kind of herbwhich is a bug that’s been killed by a zombie fungusis terrifying and strange.
My family thinks the weirdest food I’ve eaten is blue cheesebecause who wants to eat stinky mouldy cheesebut they try to get me to eat durianwhich is one of the world’s stinkiest fruit.
I find baby octopuses taste strange? I just don’t like octopuses.I like squid tho. Oysters aren’t my thing. All kinds of seaweeds taste nice.
My ex thinks that pig intestines are gross but it’s a normal Chinese ingredient.My favourite soup is pig stomach + pepper soup, it’s very good for your stomach on a bad day.
Personally, the strangest food I’ve ever eaten IMOis chicken blood curd/jelly.My mom loved it as a child and enticed me to eat it with laksa when we were travelling in Penang. I was on the bench with it, and she insisted it had no taste, just jelly like. I took a bite and indeed it was like jelly. So eh.
