~ ***** a fox chat ***** ~ [Now: Best friend to what book, anime, movie, manga MC?]

Topic: Do you have a favorite food that no one else in your family likes?

My partner and I have very similar tastes except he hates cilantro and fried oysters, and I like them. But I wouldn’t call cilantro and friend oysters my favorite foods. I do like them, but I don’t crave them particularly.

I can’t think of anything specific right now.

Better than talking about anything else though :stuck_out_tongue:

Probably could add more examples as I go, but the first thing I thought was morcilla (a blood sausage)

It’s a bit spicy and can gross some people out (it’s cooked with pig blood) but I really like it for some reason

I’ve heard of that food!

I find it so interesting how people in general can like similar things, but then there’s some foods we as individuals somehow develop a taste for.

I did just think of one from your example. I like chicken liver usually with a sweet soy sauce on it. My dad also likes it but he and I are the only ones I know that like it. My mom would eat it, but she doesn’t particularly prefer it. My partner hates it :stuck_out_tongue:

Hmm, I can’t think of something that I just really like. My dad and I have kind of similar tastes. He also likes cilantro.

Not quite like that. I know one of the meals I make for the spouse makes me nauseous.

Milk-based fish soups. I can get a bowl down, but he’s eating the whole giant pot because I can’t hang.

Chicken liver is a new one to me! It really is fascinating how varied tastes are ^.^

I did think of another one, but it is more broad: seafood. Some of my friends and peers find it gross, don’t like the taste, or only tolerate fish. I love all kinds of seafood, from crab to octopus XD

You mean like cream stew with fish in it?

What kind of fish?

Seafood tends to divide people. I don’t like most seafood because I don’t like to taste the smell of the ocean. I do like fried oysters, fried squid, fried clams… anything fried is good XD

Do you also eat roe eggs?

That is understandable! And “taste the smell of the ocean” is a good phrase :joy:
Don’t think I’ve had fried oyster or clam, but it sounds delicious too!

As for roe eggs… I don’t think I’ve tried those yet, actually :thinking:

Most any fish. He’s not picky and it does technically taste good. I just can’t hang. If it’s tomato based, I do better.

Onions. In my family, we have a war on onions. my mom hates them and everyone else likes them. it drives her nuts.

Topic: What book, anime, movie, manga, or other do you want to be the MC’s best friend and important secondary character?

Got this idea from @Qualeshia12 's fanfic thread.

You get to have the backstory of being the MC’s best friend, and you get to remain in the entire story as the important secondary character who learns all the skills and helps out. You will not die, but you will have to keep up with all the MC shenanigans.

I often say that I would like to go to Narnia if I had to pick a fantasy world to dive into. Being the best friend to the Pevensie children sounds like a fun time :grin: My twelve-year-old self would have loved to go on adventures with them and meet Aslan! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Oooh! A number of possible sidekicks could work:

Beau Brummell from Regency Buck

Emperor Ryuuki Shi from Saiunkoku
Howell Jenkins from Howl’s Moving Castle
Flynn Rider from Tangled

Okay guys, update… Update!

I finished editing the plot of the story (magical realism with immortal assassin Richard) and sent it off to an editor I hired for manuscript critique. I’m TIRED but I have to do a translation thing for a professor who is just simply using me for anything he can think of at this point :unamused: Yeah, I’m being paid, but not by the hour or anything, so idk how exactly he’s getting away with this… My contract will be up in March and I will be so happy to get rid of him.

Anyway, so any threads where I’ve offered services or started a conversation will have to wait because my head is stuffed with the stuff I had to put off while editing.

However, I’ll be posting a video on my channel this week. It’s a good article. Surprisingly good.
