Ash's stunted taste buds get an overdue awakening...
Nerd By Northwest #343 - "A Foodie in the Making"
(Click on the image to see the full-size version)
Just about everybody knows a person like this... someone who always eats the same handful of foods every day and pretty much has to be force fed in order to get them to try anything new. We're talking picky or fussy eaters (which, to quote George Carlin, is a euphemism for "a big pain in the ass" 😁). Men and boys tend to be the worst offenders, but I've come across a few ladies who can be almost as bad. One of the weirdest compliments I got was from an old girlfriend who said one of the reasons she liked me was because I didn't eat the same thing all the time and liked trying different foods. Turned out her ex was exactly this type, and he lived almost exclusively on Hot Pockets. Apparently his freezer was FILLED with them. Fast forward twenty years to now, and I bet that dude's intestinal tract must be a trainwreck.
On a side note, I've always liked Greek food but I gained a new appreciation for it when visiting Greece back in 2008. I was loving it, but my wife was experiencing morning sickness almost our entire stay there, and the smells of most of the food there made her nauseous. Only one day did the nausea let up, on the morning we were flying onward to France. The only thing available at the airport was McDonald's, and she ended up scarfing down multiple Egg McMuffins. She said that was the best food she had that whole time in Greece. 😆
