Tastes

To continue on this theme of food, two disturbing things happened yesterday that I thought I should report.

Yesterday in my daily trip to the QQ (the 99 yen store), I saw a thing of Natto and decided I should give it a try. I had tried this food once before in high school when our teacher brought some for us to try. Natto is easily the most offensive food of Japan. (Here's a link to tell you more.) It's like fermented soybeans and smell somewhat like rotting garbage and it's really stringy. Anyway, so I hadn't had natto since I'd come to Japan, so I wanted to give it another try. And well...I actually kind of liked it. The thing is, I know how it tastes. I remember when I tasted it 4 or so years ago, you can't forget that taste. So this means after 7 months or so of Japanese food, my taste has changed so much that I can not only stand natto, but semi-enjoy it.

And if that isn't disturbing enough, here's another changing tastes story. Also in QQ yesterday they had Dorrito's "nacho cheesier" type crisps. Being that they are my favourite, I bought those up fast. I was pretty excited about seeing those cuz I had been missing that kind of flavour. But sadly, when I ate them...they weren't that good. Which afraids me cuz I wonder what will happen when I go back and eat all this food that I haven't eaten in a year. I had better still enjoy Taco Bell.

That's all I got.
