So do I but it's their choice to be that way or to stay that way.

Childish sounding in an adult to self define that way but there you
have it.

There is that! Lived on my own or with roomates until I was 26 so had
some definate new tastes developed. Don brought more in with raw fish
(sashimi) and rice as a mainstay.

Fair enough! The stronger fish like Mackeral don't appeal much to me
either but small bits in sushi are fine.

Smile, I love trying out new spices and often use them in non-classic
ways.

I'm looking at maybe making the Mayo and parmesan crusted chicken today
along with Asparagus (steamed), curried rice and 1/2 a roasted Delicata
squash that needs using up.

Plenty of time to decide!
