Only in England can they sell food by using fake words on the packaging. What exactly IS a “Squidgy orange bit”? Is it something I should be eating? Is it good for me? Just because it is orange does it mean it’ll taste like the fruit or does the squidgy part make it not really orange anymore?

I have to admit, Jaffa Cakes are good, chocolatey with a bit of orange. But squidgy bits? Jaffa Cakes not only have squidgy on the package but also the word “yippee” (see other photos on Flikr) any box with the words squidgy and yippee on it will make me buy it! Just as long as it’s not “oogy” I’m up for it!

6 Weird Food Things About Me

Found this while out and about reading random blogs.

6 weird food things about me.

1. I hate mashed potatoes. I wont eat them, they look like paste. The kids in kindergarten made fun of the girl who ate paste and at the 10 year High School reunion that was the one thing they remembered about her. “Is that the girl who ate paste?”

2. I avoid ketchup, really don’t like the stuff. While I’m at it, I hate mustard too.

3. I buy cookbooks and have a large collection, but I really don’t use them much when cooking. Generally I download and print recipes I find online and tape it to the cabinet above where I’m working. But I still love buying cookbooks.

4. Dairy makes me ill. I can’t drink milk anymore (and I’m OK with that cuz all milk started tasting sour to me, like it had gone bad) but I still love cheese. I gotta eat it in small bits or I’m oogy and gross.

5. I wont eat anything with BBQ sauce on it. Mom had made BBQ Ribs when I was a kid, I wouldn’t touch it, the sauce made it taste gross, then she held the rib under the faucet to wash it off…ACK! That made it even more gross! BLEUCH you don’t run water on your food and expect a child to eat it GAH! I do, however, like BBQ potato chips.

6. As a child I ate raw potatoes. Mom peeled them and washed them cut them into slices and gave them to me in a bowl of water. I really liked them. I tried one recenlty, I have no idea how it was that I’d eat that over a BBQ rib…nasty.
