Addiction 2021.1

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ceviche, I've had once. Meh.

Oh, pickled herring... Yeah, I've had that at my wife's family gatherings. Rather than say that I'd forgotten about that, it might be more accurate to say that I'd buried those memories deep, in the hopes of only recalling them so that I might decline in the event that it was offered to me again
What Baltic nation is her family from?

I like ceviche.

My first time with ceviche was in Belize, on the beach, with a bottle of Don Amario 15 year rum. Very memorable.

Steady rain with spats of heavy stuff. It's gonna be a wet commute to the bike shop this afternoon, but it means the salt is getting washed off the roads.

Sure, I can see that. I wouldn't be opposed to trying it again if I ended up someplace that was known for it, I'll always give the house/regional specialty a whirl, but I don't think I'd go out of my way.

I used to get liver and onions, when at a good diner. Mrs. rjones28 doesn't do liver (childhood trauma). Don't really see it much in my travels anymore. Sad.

Mom and Dad loved liver. Me, not so much. They'd make liver and onions, which I always felt was a cheat - the wonderful smell of onions frying, but then the liver that always tasted bloody, like a fried nosebleed. They also made chicken livers, floured and fried up. I didn't like them, either. I'm not fond of any pate that has too much liver in it.

Kidneys, OTOH - Dad used to make stewed lamb kidneys with mushrooms and sherry for special breakfasts that my siblings and I still get misty-eyed over.

Ah, I guess. When I hear "Baltic nation," I think of the Baltic states, though, not nations on the Baltic.

Dad made sure there was liver on the menu at least once a month, which was total crap. The serving plate would be brought out and set in the middle of the table, and we knew what was next. Dad would snag the bacon from around the liver, and leave that slab of tasty goodness for the rest of us. Mom liked liver, so no sweat there. She comes from a place that likes kidney's in their pie, so what's a little liver?

The next three hours were hell. It usually came to the point that the milk was removed from the table because us kids would use that to wash down miniscule bits of liver. It lasted a few months, but like WhyFi, I buried that crap deep into the hinterlands of my subconscious, only to be brought out at a time like this.

Thanks for bringing back those fond liver memories. Unfortunately, we didn't have a dog growing up, so the trauma was real.

If Mexican style menudo is done right it's really good, despite it being tripe. I've had excellent Filipino menudo, too. It's more like a stew than a soup, and they use pork liver among other things.

lol@ fried nosebleed.
