ā: Walks on the beach or in a forest?, ć®: Chocolate or Vanilla?, Š: Strangest food you've eaten?
Oh, wow. Itās Munday already. Put some of these in my askbox, and I will respond OOC.
ā: Walks on the beach or in a forest?
Beach. Because Iām afraid of bugs. A forest is more romantic, and Iād love to say Iām nature loving enough to lounge in a tree house, but bugs. Iād take the sun at the beach plz.
ć®: Chocolate or Vanilla?
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 donāt 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 likeĀ āI smell a bakery! Itās so nice! Letās go buy some bread!ā Then I sniffed and was likeĀ ā⦠no, that was not a bakery.ā
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.Ā
āW-why?! How?!ā She exclaimed in horrified betrayal.
āNow you see why I donāt like that smell?ā
Itās the toilet. Our janitors here use cleaners with very strong scents, and every time I smell that particular odour of lavender/vanilla/etcā¢, I gag.
That said, I do like vanilla treats xāD Just not often.
Š: Strangest food youāve eaten?
Youād really have to define strange. Iām South-east Asian and Chinese.Our weirdest culinary is bugs and balut and I havenāt 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 thatās been killed by a zombie fungusis terrifying and strange.
My family thinks the weirdest food Iāve eaten is blue cheesebecause who wants to eat stinky mouldy cheesebut they try to get me to eat durianwhich is one of the worldās stinkiest fruit.
I find baby octopuses taste strange? I just donāt like octopuses.I like squid tho. Oysters arenāt my thing. All kinds of seaweeds taste nice.
I donāt like live food.
My ex thinks that pig intestines are gross but itās a normal Chinese ingredient.My favourite soup is pig stomach + pepper soup, itās very good for your stomach on a bad day.
Personally, the strangest food Iāve 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.
