Mentaiko sembei (rice crackers). I want to love you like so many others do. I really do. We are just incompatible.
I really am open-minded about food. I'll try nearly anything, and I'll even make a good faith effort to like things which I experience repeatedly. That being said, mentaiko, or spicy cod roe, and anything flavored with it was just not something I could come to like. The strange thing is that I can generally come to appreciate anything which is flavored with chili. Since I write a snack review blog, I've obviously sampled things which are mentaiko flavored. They always seemed to be "off" to me in some fashion. They either had a weird combination of spices or were just too "fishy".
Mentaiko is one of the most popular flavors in Japan and, unfortunately, I never came to like it and certainly do not miss it.

Thank goodness! I thought I was the only one. I just cannot warm up to mentaiko anything. :(
ReplyDeleteIt actually also makes me feel better to hear that you also can't come to enjoy it. I felt as if I was being too picky about food!

ReplyDeleteHi, Richard. I mentioned in a previous post that I have to manually enable comments on every single post due to a Blogger bug that won't allow me to set comments to being allowed globally. In that same comment, I also mentioned that it's harder for me to track everything these days due to moving and some pretty stressful life events.
DeleteThe answer then is, it is by accident. I will enable them, but please be patient. At this point in time, I'm struggling to get my posts done at all. Thanks for letting me know.
