But the texture was weird. And I couldn't actually chew it.

I'm glad that I saw it, and it actually reminds me a bit of the Christian Gregorgian chants that the monks used to sing. And your post made me excited, because I can now tell people who stare at me and shake their heads (mom and boyfriend...) whenever I eat a flower that it's done elsewhere! :PStephaniehttp://flutyocarina.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265678588662710734.post-87451143414328226352013-02-21T00:20:03.949+04:002013-02-21T00:20:03.949+04:00Right?

Most of the time it's fascinating. Sometimes it's just awkward or weird stuff, though, and it seems to be mainly the Germans (sorry to stereotype). For example, one thought it was totally OK to make a slanty eye joke about me (we'd known each for less than a day). Seriously? I mean it was all in good humour and I laughed - I wasn't offended - but I think that's in bad taste. If we were friends, sure, but we were strangers who had just met.eemusingshttp://nzmuse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265678588662710734.post-46903074106351943162013-02-20T23:00:13.236+04:002013-02-20T23:00:13.236+04:00It is really weird when you think of it.

They taste exactly how you would imagine them to, with a bit of an oddly leather-y texture, almost.<br /><br />It was a very strange feeling.Mandahttp://breakthesky.netnoreply@blogger.com
