   I really have zero food rules. I don’t have hard and fast rules of what anything should be. I will generally try.. anything. (Except anything illegal) recently I went to a Chinese restaurant snd my wife saw a fascinating dessert. It was fermented glutinous rice.. with alcohol.. goji berries.. and scrambled eggs.

   It was delicious.

   There’s a Vietnamese restaurant near my house that does a traditional club soda.. with egg yolks.

   I don’t even do this because it’s novel. It just tastes good.

   I do however, find myself revolted by many things that people like, such as most donuts.

     I like hot dessert. I don’t like most cake.

     I like many textures that seem to scare people.

     I don’t have any beliefs around how you should not have X with Y.

     I am never disgusted by any food (except at donuts for breakfast).

     If I see someone order a thing I have never heard of, I want to try it. Especially if I am in a place where people speak a language I don’t understand and I don’t know anything about anything.

     Not bad for someone with severe autism related sensory food issues as a child.

     @skinnylatte how do you feel about cinnamon? That was the hardest thing for me growing up.

     Sometimes I like to say ‘I think donuts are gross’ here because I really want people to think long and hard about who gets to call what foods gross.

     There are no gross foods. There are people with grossly underdeveloped culinary knowledge and skills, which is fine, but they have no business calling other people’s food gross.

     It’s just such a weird lens through which to see the world, and so colonialist.

     @piuland I always say that having durian outside of Malaysia / Thailand / Indonesia and outside of durian season is like.. freezing blue cheese and then eating it. It’s kind of weird.

     Fresh durians at the right time and place.. amazing

     I think the fine line is you can be grossed out by food (disappointing but fine) but I don’t think it ever makes sense to call someone else’s food gross.

     Although I directly do some weird ‘how disgusted are you by anything’ tests and basically it was ‘never’ so maybe I have a different standard for some things. Come to think of it I am only truly disgusted by injustice, donuts for breakfast, and Microsoft Teams

     @piuland highly recommend a visit to Penang during durian season. Tons of durian stalls in the open air and ‘red shrimp’ durian (a breed) is the best. Outside of that part of the world people are exporting frozen ‘musang king’ which is a cut above other types

     @drsbaitso every time I see a box of donuts for a breakfast meeting I get extremely irrationally angry

     @skinnylatte With you on injustice.

     I'd be fat and happy if someone brought me donuts every morning.

     And I have a surprisingly high Teams-tolerance 🤷🏻♂️

     @skinnylatte I like cheese and yoghurt but, if either is served for dessert, I'm disappointed. Only sweet dessert for me!

     @skinnylatte Have you ever had food that's so good that you think it should be illegal?
