I'm imagining that sweet photo you describe. Thanks for describing that lovely moment, Fuzzybear.

Well, you and I absolutely share in common our enjoyment of almost all food. I'm not picky either. I'll agree that tripe is not the most appealing food to me, neither is liver, kidneys, or the ripest cheeses (i.e. Limberger), but I will eat them if served to me, as a guest. My husband likes tripe soup. The way it's often made it contains very strong spices. I'll also say that after living in Taiwan for a while in the past, I discovered a few foods that I'd pass on. They have a fruit called durian fruit. It's pretty stinky. They also have what they call "chou doufu". That literally translates to "stinky tofu" since it is fermented. Definitely an acquired taste! My husband eats some of the foods I mentioned, but dislikes many foods I love. For example, I adore broccoli, asparagus, and all kinds of shellfish, but he won't eat them.

Is Papa Bear a lot pickier about food than you?

My husband is allergic to garlic. I like garlic, but am fine cooking without it. However, most people in the US are crazy about it, so it's difficult to eat out sometimes. Oddly, I often choose one of the only restaurant dishes that doesn't contain garlic. He'll choose one that they say doesn't have it, but then it does. I can't tell you how many times we've had to switch plates. That can be a little annoying if I looked forward to a certain dish.

Do you like spicy food? I do. Szechuan cuisine has been my most recent fav. I also like Thai, Indian and Middle Eastern, though rarely have them because they often contain garlic. Sometimes I make my own.
