Sex & Shenanigans

I think it’s slowly making its way to the East coast - at least we have poke restaurants now.
I hope so! It is fantastic, and a joy. (Or "broke de mouth.") I have asked friends on here about it, but they don't really know what I am talking about. On the other hand, I have four excellent Hawaiian restaurants (three cafés and one less casual) within about five miles of my place. It is pretty ubiquitous in Portland, but we have a big Pacific Islander community as well.
 
The blood. It’s a pass on dinuguan for me…and blood sausage too, for that matter. The “Full English” breakfast would be wasted on me because I wouldn’t eat the black pudding (blood sausage) or mushrooms, and…I like beans, but FFS, there are better ways to serve them than baked!
I enjoyed the full Scottish Breakfast several times last week, and so good! I get why people don't do mushrooms (my best friend had to get his stomach pumped from eating a wild one as a kid for instance) and black pudding even more so. But damn, I enjoyed it 🤤
 
I am kind of picky also.
One of my triggers is coconut.
I can't stand the taste or texture.
If I detect it, I am grossed out.
I was very upset when Mountain Dew did a few flavors with coconut water. It made me start dissecting the labels more than I wanted to.

Mmmmm, mushrooms, yum! I’d try the black pudding - blood doesn’t gross me out for some reason. Balut or insects/worms/arachnids of any kind on the other hand 🤢

That just reminded me of another Filipino dish I absofuckinglutely will not eat. I don’t recommend clicking the spoiler at all, but for those curious-minded…don’t blame me if you 🤢🤮, you were warned!

Etag: pork left in earthen jars to “cure” for weeks, but actually rots and grows maggots

That dish reminds me of Casu martzu - a traditional Sardinian cheese that contains live insect larvae, or maggots, which are intentionally introduced to promote fermentation and create a soft texture. It is considered unsafe to eat when the maggots have died, so it is typically consumed while they are still alive.
