What I ate and drank for the first time in 2015
December 30th, 2015
* Green Papaya Salad
* Longans
* Tree grapes
* purple sweet potatoes
* Abiu
* Taro
* Aloe
* Mountain Apple
* Poi
* Sugar cane
* soursop
* cacao pods
* ice cream cake (from KTA)
The nicest things there were the abiu and the green papaya salad, and the least nice things were the poi and the soursop.
I have also made lots of recipes I haven't tried before, but I haven't kept a list of those.
But, I can list Erguotou which is a chinese liquor which I quite like. Later in the year I read (OK, audibled) the Three Body Problem and was quite pleased when they went out to drink shots of Ergoutou and I knew what it was.
