I maybe am just like you, because even if my countrymen eat lots of food like these and "balut", i really cannot be like them. I also wonder why, as I wrote above, my mouth is not as adventurous as my feet, haha! Sometimes in a group here, i am the only one who cannot eat something! And i don't even eat ruminants from birth!

I am the most picky eater ever and I don't know why. I taught in a school with many different cultures especially Asian and we used to have lunches where everyone would bring in something from their culture and I am afraid that I didn't try as many things as I should have given that they were authentic. I hope you have a great week...MichelleRambling Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080120317890707767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-2103630248563894252013-01-24T23:57:11.039+08:002013-01-24T23:57:11.039+08:00Jeśli bym to wcześniej zobaczyła żywe, to żadnej p...Jeśli bym to wcześniej zobaczyła żywe, to żadnej potrawy z ogórkiem morskim bym nie zjadła.
