I’ll definitely find some recipes for those. I’ll have to make some floral ice cream and cream cheese. Gah, I’m drooling.

My signature is in Vietnamese. It translates literally as “Together we will run across the burning grass field.” It’s a line in a poem I wrote for my other half. The tone marks couldn’t show up so yeah have to write it in the internet style. Ideally it should look like this:

Faith: same here. That tea tastes lovely. I love the colour too, such a pretty, deep red.

I’ve eaten mice and a kind of ant larvae once. They rubbed the meat of the mice with lemongrass and stir fried it with a bit of curry paste, coconut milk and chilli. It tasted better than chicken lol.

The larvae was lightly toasted over the fire and to me, they tasted like cream cheese.

I love weird people, thanks so much for eating all this crazy stuff and telling us about it.

Sure, I understand, everyone has their limits.

I'm happy to have a mouse eater here! They are cute, so it's sad to see them go, but then again, so are cows and chickens.

Those art larvae sound pretty good! Maybe you will inspire nahyt to try the lavetts after all.

I drink hibiscus tea just about every day out of a glass mug. Makes me feel rich because the color is so fabulous.

Even though that'd make you like a cannibal: scorpion eating scorpions.

That makes sense, yeah, it's not like getting to the center of a Tootsie roll Tootsie pop. I mean no one would have bought Tootsie Pops if they were full of dead ants in the middle.

I think the ant lollipop is for exhibitionists. "Look at me I'm going to get a mouthful of dead ants soon, stick around to see how I eat these ants!"

What I LOVED back then was drinking untreated cow's milk. Granny would make it cold and I thought it was one of the best treats ever. It's also supposed to be fattening which is why she gave it to me (I was under a doctor's orders to gain weight). I don't think that's legal today (though maybe it is in Texas, I can't recall if it's a federal law or just some states that have prohibited it).

Quite different.

We have polk weed growing on our property but I am leary of eating stuff that can kill you if you prepare it wrong.

Faith: somethingexcellent, please tell me you eat scorpions!

My friend brought one home from her travels and was eating one and offered everyone a bite. Of course no one took her up on the offer...EXCEPT ME!!!!!

It didn't really have a taste, or a texture really...but the candy was nice. And my Cancer friend is like that!!! Doesn't wanna eat crab because she'll feel like it's cannibalism.

I was about to offer something about a banquet of the zodiac, but then I realised Gemini, Virgo, Aquarius, and sort of Sagittarius are all humans...plus Libra, how would we even dine on that!

11nahyt: I'd totally lick chocolate off a scorpion though . Even if it were a live one. That's kinda sexy right? Lmaoo. Licking chocolate off a scorpion. Yeahhhh

Licking rocks which tasted like nothing or sometimes salty,
Grass which tastes like green beans btw
Chalk- it tasted like cardboard :\
Custard powder - had a salty chalkish taste with a hint of vanilla
It's quite a long list.

Later I started associating colors with taste too. (Can't explain that)
If someone would ask what certain foods tasted like, I would use a color to describe it.

No taste though? How can a Scorpion not have a taste...I suspect a conspiracy.

Synaesthesia

I think that's like a gift...I was just reading in my Color Healing book about foods affecting the different chakras according to their color (red food affects root chakra, and so on.)

It's something which just happens.

Quite an interesting theory..
When it happens again I'll pay special attention which colors come up for foods and scents. Maybe there is a link.

Amazing!

I think I grew a new wrinkle in my brain, tying to imagine how that plays out, and hoping I can will myself to have the same ability.

Doubtful, but I can try!

And yes, please let me know if you notice any food-color/chakra connection. Thank you.
