compilerbitch: That's me, that is! (f_unsure)
I seem to be having a period of doing-new-stuff recently. One thing I've never done is post one of those, go on, ask me anything you like, comments screened, anon OK memes. I was generally a bit scared to do that, though I'm not sure why.

Anyway, here goes: Ask me anything you like. I'll reply in a separate post (or posts, if I need to lock them), by email, or (if you request it) by unscreening your comment and replying to it.

(You can probably blame marnanel for this, along with a quiet afternoon that should really involve me running around buying art supplies and changing my bed linen).

Go on, go for it! Ask away. I'll be gentle. (Mostly)

What is the most unusual food you've ever eaten... and enjoyed?

That's a tough one, because I'll eat nearly anything. Hmm... I suppose if I've eaten and enjoyed it, then *I* pretty much by definition don't find it weird. But of the foods that people frequently won't go near, I love haggis. I used to eat black pudding when I lived in north east England, but seldom do these days. And raw fish, and fish eggs. And sprats, whole, on black bread in the Russian style. I like a few Russian things, like cabbage pie, борщ, the little cabbage parcel things with meat and rice inside that I can never remember the name of, etc. But that's not *that* unusual, I suppose.

Oh, yes, I know what I can say. It's a drink rather than a food, though. Another Russian thing: квас, (prounounced 'kvass'). It's kind of a weird fermented fizzy drink that looks like coke and tastes like Marmite. I really like it. I'm weird. Yeah, laugh it up, I know, I know.

Though I should say that once, in Moscow, I was given a weird soup with bits of meat, vegetables and sour cream. In a base of квас. Maybe someone can remind me what this horror-concoction was called, but no one was very surprised when I didn't like it. I mean, cold soup, fair enough, I can deal, but FIZZY and Weird as Hell? C'mon!
