Random fact about me pt.2
Added 2024-04-28 18:00:04 +0000 UTCThereโs this one Japanese food that I absolutely fucking hate honestly I might even say itโs my biggest fear ๐ญ
Itโs calledโฆ Konyaku
Itโs a jelly made out of kinjac I didnโt know this until right now I literally just looked it up but it has a jelly consistency and is grey with black specs
All I know is that itโs foul and I can smell it from a mile away ๐คข itโs eaten in oden which is a Japanese stew with lots of different veggies and it really good for you BUT konyaku is always in it.
I wouldnโt let my mom come near me or kiss me for days after she ate konnyaku. And all throughout my life Iโd get furious when Iโd come home and smell her eating it and sheโd always say she waits until Iโm gonna be gone or sleepover somewhere so I can eat it in peace aww my poor mama she just wanted to eat one of her favorite foods ๐ฅบ and then Iโd come home after 2 days of not being home and say โdid you eat konnyaku??!!โ And sheโd tell me she ate is 3 days ago lol
And when I went to preschool in Japan weโd have sleepovers at the school once a year in the summer and weโd cook curry and stay up when it was dark and run around with flashlights and stuff ๐ฅน
And while we were playing that game they made us dress up as like spies and gave us KONNYAKU to use as a weapon ๐ซจ I cried the rest of the sleepover I was pissed
And that lil incident really traumatized me and made me genuinely FEAR it cause all the kids in my class were teasing me and put it in all in my face ๐ญ
Have you tried konnyaku??

Coming from a half Mexican half Danish home, I grew up disliking a major food from each. I didnโt like Avacados or pickled Herring. So both Mexican and Danish foods I had at home couldnโt have either. Since I became an adult I grew to be okay with avocado (not like, but donโt dislike) but I still have a hard pass on herring so when family eats it, i keep my distance since it has a distinct smell.
