Friday five

\<!\[CDATA **1\. What food do you like that most people hate?**  Kolrabi, an Eastern European root vegitable. It’s like a starchy radish, or a spicy potato. It’s kind of potato-shaped. My parents cooked it, and it was disgusting, but it’s really good raw with salt and olive oil. 

Hackepeter, also known as steak tartar.

Brain. I had sheep brain in a restaurant in Hobart, and it was very tasty.

Celery! Raw celery, naked, without anything on it. No peanut butter, no Nutella, no Cheez Whiz. 2. What food do you hate that most people love?

Eggplant. I don’t know why, I think it’s a texture thing. Most squash, actually, even zucchini. I love cucumber though. 3. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?

Jennifer Fucking Lopez . I refuse to use that cutesy nickname that she’s been rebranded as. I also don’t understand Madonna’s sex appeal. She’s talented, sure, but she’s kinda ugly. Sorry. 4. What famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find attractive?

I’m really into John Howard No, that was a joke, see. I’m big into Janeane Garofalo – she’s really gorgeous. My flatmate agrees, so I don’t know if Janeane applies. She doesn’t think Willem Dafoe is, but I do. So that applies.

5. What popular trend baffles you? Most of them do.

What’s with wearing a skirt overtop of pants? Did you forget that you put on the pants? Are your legs really hairy?

Celebrity chefs! Especially Jamie Oliver. What happened to the good old days when Julia Childs would show you how to make a roast whatever, while ducking down under the bench for a sherry every 5 minutes?]]>
