What do smoked salmon and corn dogs have in common?
They are both foods that I LOVE, but only for the first few bites.
It is a peculiar sort of love-hate relationship. I love smoked salmon, but I get sick of it so quickly, and I have no idea why. I also love corn dogs, but I can only make it about halfway through a corn dog before I am just done with that taste. I have the same problem with hot dogs to a lesser extent. (Foot-longs are definitely too big).
I do not seek these foods out. I eat them when they come to me in life, which is just infrequently enough for me to forget about my love-hate relationship with them. When I saw smoked salmon at a breakfast buffet recently, I remembered how much I loved it, but I took too much because I didn't remember that I was about to hate it again.
There are probably other foods in this category that I just cannot remember right now. Has anyone else had an experience like this?
I have a love-hate relationship with asparagus, but it is a more delayed reaction. http://bodyodd.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/06/29/12463697-psst-asparagus-pee-are-you-in-the-club?lite
ReplyDeleteWell, if we're going to go *there*, I have a love-hate relationship with delicious foods that happen to secretly contain milk products.
ReplyDeleteFor instance it turns out that lactose intolerance and sausages do not mix. Which I know, deep down. But it is so nonobvious that lactose would be in sausages that sometimes it slips my mind.
