Today I woke up to find a text message from a very bored

electorprince on my phone. I pledged to keep him as entertained as I could, and the topic of the day has been...pork. I can't abide the stuff. I like turkey bacon and ham, but even before my vegetarian years I'd sworn off the pork version as too greasy. I've never liked pork chops or roasts; I find them comparable to eating thick cardboard.

I've been giving the Kaiser his daily pills (he takes prednisone and lysine) in these soft salmon flavoured "Pill Pockets" treats, but they're about 45 cents each and I need three for every time I give him his meds. I thought liverwurst might be the right consistency and taste and price for me to wrap them in. "If he's a true German he'll love it," was what E-prince commented.

He swallowed the proferred bit of liverwurst in one gulp and gave me his "I want more!" look. Due to the sodium content, he can't just have it at will, though. He has other yummies for that.

I decided that out of my friendship to

electorprince I'd try it. My response was "UGH!" He said that smacked of intolerance (

americanstd said he'd have called me a racist) and I qualified that I didn't like the texture, the initial taste was okay, but the aftertaste was foul.

americanstd agrees with me about the aftertaste but that that means "you have to eat it more". "No thanks, man, I'm good," I told him.

E-prince had mentioned having it on a really dark rye bread, but I commented I don't like rye bread.

americanstd thinks I'm nuts, but he loves caraway seeds, which is the dominant flavouring in akvavit, the Danish alcoholic beverage of choice. E-prince just said my tastes in food were very "Moorish". That's more than likely it.

For the record, I had a salad for lunch. Dinner will be a fish stir-fry, and I'd do well to start the brown rice for it now, I think.
