  1. STICKY GOOEY NATTO!

    If you have not tried or even heard of what "natto" is, let me just first tell you that it is certainly not for the faint hearted. It is most definitely an acquired taste. I welcome you to the world of one of my favorite foods... The Natto!

    [​IMG]

    Natto is a traditional breakfast food for the Japanese and has a most powerful pungent smell that is almost out of this world! It is popular for its high protein content, strong flavor and slippery gooey texture!

    Even though I am in Asia, only certain stores carry this product as it is not a common food where I am from. If you are an adventurous food connoisseur just like yours truly, you really need to get your hands on these fantastic little morsels of delight!

    A warning though, use either a fork or a pair of chopsticks to eat. Not with your fingers. A touch of it with your bare hands will make it smell like... Well, what I usually and most pleasantly describe as... A wet dog.


    Yours Truly,
    Brother_Matt

  12. Here in Alberta, we have powwows (hard to explain, but fun), mountains, some cultural festivals and great food. Ukrainian food is good too. But like everything in the world, Alberta has its downsides too.
