There are so many things I''ve never heard of -- marmite, clootie dumplings, durian, bovril. I now know what marmite is but what are the other things? Maybe they were described above?
I know some things are considered delicacies in other parts of the world, and I respect that. But duckling??? I''ve heard that duck is really good but I can''t get the image of the ducks from the book ''Make Way For Ducklings'' out of my head. I think I''ll pass on trying it.
I have some consistency issues I suppose. I really like jam but don''t like jelly. Jelly seems to be more like jell-o -- a little jiggly and wobbly in an unnatural way. Jam is really good though and I love the sugar free kinds.
I do love popcorn and snowcaps mixed together.
Durian is a fruit that smells like a rotting carcass (to me at least, everyone describes it differently). And the taste matches the fragrance. ::Shudder:: My mom loves durian.
