Yeah, badly prepared anything, anything without thought behind it. There are specific ingredients I’m not crazy about. It’s probably because I wasn’t ready for it. Something that I just don’t get — and I will eat just about anything — but there are such things I just don’t understand: the fermented soybeans, the natto, I don’t get it. As open as I can be, I don’t understand how that could be even palatable, much less a delicacy, but then again, I’ve eaten duck tongues and people roll — “What are you crazy?”
Well, they’re actually pretty good. They’re crispy and gelatinous and they taste like duck skin. They’re good. So it’s all relative. But no, just really poorly prepared, gloppy food, especially when you’re expecting something really nice and it’s, “Oh, my goodness, what happened there?”
