Taste the taste in your mouth, taste the taste on your tongue

[venta]

Another day for pointless curiosity... how are you at eating things when you don't know what they are? I made sausages at the weekend (post on the topic coming soon), and offered some pieces of cooked sausage to colleagues to see if they could guess what was in it. Both happily chomped down on mystery food without any info. I regard this as completely normal, but am aware that some people would never do it.

So... in the poll below, I'm asking about whether or not you'd eat mystery food I gave you. This is not just a meal I've cooked, this is something "mysterious" I'm inviting you to try. I'm aware some of you probably trust me, and some of you barely know me. Let's assume I'm someone you know well enough to know won't poison you, or feed you fag-ash-and-spider sausages for a laugh, but not someone whom you feel you know well enough to place special trust in.

Let's also assume that I know about your dietary requirements, so I won't give you meat if you're vegetarian, I won't feed you pork if you eat kosher, and I won't give you wheat if you're coeliac. I have perfect knowledge of your dietary requirements, even if they're quite complicated :) I don't know about your likes and dislikes, though, so won't guarantee not to feed you aubergine if you really hate it.

[Poll #1907455]

I feel there's quite enough options already, if you want to be all snowflakey, you can do it in the comments ;)

I'm kind of curious now. I mean, I don't really expect chocolate-coated raw sprout to be especially nice, but I don't think I'd expect it to be as vile as it seems to have been judging by the number of people it's traumatised!

(I'd have imagined it would just taste of chocolate and sprout, ie two perfectly acceptable flavours that just don't go together. I guess I do like sprouts, though.)

My digestive system has long responded badly to sprouts; in this particular case I actually threw up. (Beckyc merely didn't like it. This is probably why I hold more of a grudge than she does:)
