Please, yes, take all of it, every little kernel of Popcorn I may ever
be offered.

You may also have all the beer, all the coke (the kind to drink), all
other sodas and all Champagne. If I drink something, it has to be
dead, not jump around in my mouth. I have never had a whole glass of
beer or soda. Champagne tastes like rotten Ginger Ale.

While we are at it, take any caviar that may come my way. It is a
tricky kind of food, looking like perfectly good blackberry jam and
tasting like spoiled fish. Salty spoiled fish. A big disappointment.

Truly, If I did not eat it before I was five or six years old, it is
not likely that I will like it now. I had my first real cup of coffee
when I was forty and in the following year I started to drink wine and
booze. Now I have to make up for all the years I missed.

There was a restaurant we used to pass by, when my husband was still
alive, The Ground Round and they served freshly popped popcorn as a
freebie. It was such a nauseating smell, Erich would make sure to
make a detour, so I would not have to encounter the hated aroma.
