Natto?
You don’t want to know….I know you think you want to know but you really don’t. More than that you never want to smell it much less taste it. You are currently living a richer life because of your lack of information in any form about Natto.
Yup, the Canadians are still tuning in and enjoying your updates! (Or at least this one is.) 🙂
Natto is the Japanese equivalent of Vegemite.
It’s something of an aquired taste.
Although claimed to have health benefits, it’s true purpose is to allow practical jokes to be played upon unwary foreign visitors by serving them 4 times what any sane person would eat. See also: lutefisk, blue cheese 😉
Natto – fermented soy beans. Look like a bowl of beans that have been snotted on, have the same consistency and taste…well, really fermented is just the nice way of saying gone off!
may i add you?
