I've just come across one of the funniest things I've ever read, which to
properly appreciate one must enjoy eating natto (one of my very favorite foods). Put down your cup, swallow whatever's in your mouth, and proceed to: http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000169.php |

And I just noticed the one about the Korean silkworm "snacks" (haven't tried
this one), last entry on the page at http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives...ont_eat_it.php Yummy! |

Hey, natto is supposed to be good for you! My daughter loves it (but
then she grew up here). I will eat it if served to me but usually avoid it. You're supposed to mix it with raw egg, soy sauce and chopped raw green onions. This is my 25th year in Japan, and this is one of the two things I don't like. The other is "uni", which is sea urchin. Cantate |

Natto is indeed very good for you. I've loved it since the very first bite, back in 1977 when I had a Japanese boyfriend. (He also introduced me to the wonders of plum wine and saké mixed half-and-half.) My second most favorite Japanese food is unagi no kabayaki. (For you non-Japanese, that is broiled river eel.) |

I'm not Japanese, but DH is a sushi fiend and quickly made me into an eel addict. I'm still not a fan of the more adventurous forms of sushi. Actually even the fairly tame ones. Mostly I like the sushi that has limited amounts of raw fish. I love cooked salmon, but the raw stuff is so slimy it makes me gag. I have a real thing about texture. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Your list of disliked Japanese foods is exactly the same as mine!
Must be something about the Western palate. DH tried natto at a little Japanese restaurant, but decided that whilst it was a worthwhile experience, he would not chose to repeat it!
