 RH>> OK, I misremembered. I thought you had to try it 8 times, by the 8th
 RH>> time you would at least tolerate the food item in question.
 ML> Gosh, that kind of doctrine would be impossible to
 ML> enforce. 

Besides, it's patently untrue...  all it really does is make sure one
has given something the proverbial college try... given the new food a
chance...  if it meant tolerating it by then, I'd be tolerating beer by
now... ;/  But many tries finally did give some idea WHY the stuff was
so distasteful to me... :) 

 ML> Which reminds me - twice this week I've had food foisted
 ML> on me that had unadvertised blue cheese in it.

I've found it in some strange places myself... often as part of a cheese
powder mixture added to crackers or popcorn...  And I rather like the
stuff, generally...  :)

 ML> Both times I remedied the situation with copious draughts
 ML> of red wine. Almost ruined the wine, but it was worth
 ML> it for getting the blue cheese taste out of my mouth.

Did Lilli laugh...?  ;)

 RH> I'll eat small amounts of blue cheese but would rather have some other
 RH> types, especially a well aged cheddar or a nice swiss.
 ML> Well aged cheddar is a wonderful thing - an umami
 ML> bomb if I've ever seen one.

And well-worth the pills...  :)  

 ML> Today I had tastes of long-aged dry-aged beef and
 ML> fresh beef (as in it was alive within the week).
 ML> I detected a distinct blue taste in Lilli's ribeye
 ML> and thus preferred my unaged sirloin strip. Besides,
 ML> hers was 1 lb and mine was close to 2 lb.
 ML> She trimmed off some of the fat for me and then
 ML> after tasting it trimmed off all the rest of the
 ML> fat because she said it tasted "fishy" to her. I
 ML> took a bite of what she'd saved for me and rejected
 ML> it - part of it tasted merely oxidized, and part of
 ML> it tasted like blue cheese.

How sad...  ;(   Did she enjoy the meat itself anyway...?  

ttyl        neb

... Just the other day I... no, wait... that wasn't me.
