[Sca-cooks] Slimy was Re: Seljuk/Rumi/Sufi Cuisine

[Honour Horne-Jaruk]

Respected friends: 
(Kiri said...much snippage) 
Master A, it
does have 
to do with the texture.  Most gelatinous foods I can
handle...though I
 early on developed a dislike for jello because I associate
it with 
being sick.  One of the other foods whose texture is distressing to
me
 is souse...not sure what the world at large calls the stuff but it's
left-over
 pig parts in a vinegar-based gelatin environment.

With food, it 
is a textural thing.  Slimy was the best word I could come up
with to
 describe it.

I have exactly the same problem. The word I use is "slippery". The shortest way I've ever found to explain the problem is that I refuse to eat anything that runs away when I try to chew it...
