People have told me that they think shad roe looks gross. To me it looks like shad roe, and therefore appetizing. In season as we speak.

Sandwiches with vegemite, cheese and walnuts.

My mummy used to make them. Sometimes she added lettuce as well. As an adult I like that combination still so maybe I should put it on the foods I liked as a child thread as well.

How in the world did your mum come up with that combination sneaker?

I've never had biscuits and gravy, Anonimo. The last time I briefly thought about getting it (at a hotel), the gravy looked like warmed up snot. The gravy in that picture looks a lot better (if you keep in mind that the brown lumps are just sausage). But I still don't think I'll like biscuits and gravy.

I have no idea but I strongly suspect she wasn't the only one. I know a lot of people who would eat combinations of that - vegemite and cheese, vegemite and lettuce especially.

Last Sunday at friends' - wife to her husband:
-Julius (name of their little puppy) has pooed on the floor
-hmmm... no, it must be a bit of goose liver that I dropped on the floor.

What looks gross depends on presentation, I guess.

sneaker - I've never had vegemite but, from what I know of it, the cheese and lettuce don't sound to weird, it's throwing in the walnuts that really makes it sound bizarre.

Fieldgate - hee hee, that's great.

While I think goose liver has the potential to look like poop wherever it is, I'm sure it looks even more so in the floor.

i know. It's still one of my comfort foods.

Much like macaroni cheese and chippie (potato crisp) sandwiches. They just make me feel nice.
