| Writer's Block: Eat Your Vegetables |

I can't remember why I tasted it, but tinned asparagus. Worst idea for preserving something EVER. Sitting around in water for months makes it go slimy and watery and stringy, and there are sulphur compounds in asparagus (which are what make some people's pee smell funny after eating it) and I think they reacted with the metal of the tin to produce a really offputting smell. Not so much 'something I've eaten' as 'something I've briefly tasted then quickly spat out'.
Very nearly as bad are tinned mushrooms, they also go horribly slimy. Tinned strawberries, also really yuck. Squishy watery things with an unpleasant metallic taste from the tin. |
