Shukudaikun 92 ramblings.
Credits to sableheart for the vid ^__^
So, the girl disliked food with eggplant, pepper and tomato, and they brought out deserts.
It makes me think of the kind of food that is weird to some, but delicious to others, depending on the country you live on.
I've mentioned before, mainly in Chaix2's dailymotion account (you might remember ne? Chai2-san? XD), that for example, here in the americas beans are considered and eaten as "salty food", as main dish, stewed, with charcuterie and stuff like that, while, as we know, bean paste is a desert/sweet food in japan.
Well, while watching the girl eat the tomato desert I remembered a certain marmalade store here in my area, very famous throughout our country (and overseas, wherever they sell venezuelan food).
Mermeladas Catalina.
There, they make all kinds of marmalades, when I say all kinds I mean all kinds, XD.
I tried the tomato marmalade once, it was delicious.
Then I thought, yet again, about the stuff we eat here that might be considered weird by some. XD
What are arepas? here in venezuela we have pre-cooked corn flour. We make all kinds of food with this special flour, including arepas, which are round grilled cakes we eat as bread. My brother made them a bit sweet and fried them (another popular way of eating arepas).
He accompanied them with a guayava sauce (guava) made with red and white wine (from what I remembered he said), and a special cheese mixture (see the quenelle in the picture arepa dulce above), made with "telita" cheese (a type of white fresh cheese) and sweet peppers.
Did she say sweet peppers? LOL! yes, there's a variety of chile/pepper very popular here in my country that is sweet.
And I think it would make for very delicious/interesting deserts.
Now, for the eggplant, the girl liked the desert they had in shukudaikun ne. If I'm not mistaken she said that it actually tasted like apple. Well, there's another fruit/vegetable we have here in latinamerica that I was reminded of because of this.
Mum used to make "apple pie" without apples. She used chayota.
Because it tastes like nothing, when you boil it in a certain liquid, it will absorb the taste of said liquid, mum would buy apple juice (which was cheaper than buying real apples at the time XD) and cook the chayota inside it and then make a pie with that.
Chaaan! apple pie without apple!!!!
Now, for the rest of the episode... oh boy... slapstick comedy is tricky to do, if you don't do it right it looks just painful and sad... XD
Bless Ogu-san for giving it a try to!
I feel like I don't need to flail with the boys cause... everyone else will XD XD XD (like with the hypnotizing/chikubi thing, them falling down in the chair, ohchan acting like a kitty, and such)
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! XD

Very interesting post, by the way. Thanks!
Thank you for commenting!
That california roll was probably old... hahahahaha!!!
Oooo!! you could try eating veggie sushi (no fish), just so you get into the experience before going for the fish in japan... by the way, I'm jealous that you're going XD
Well, for what it's worth, I hope you have a great time there!!!! ^___^
hahaha good story about the apple pie. xD

i think you bring up some interesting points. :D Like, isn't tomato technically classified as a fruit? and yet somehow people always make it salty...
and frankly, i think sweet things made with various kinds of peppers would be excellent... especially spicy ones. I love sweet+spicy food though (like they have some kinds of chocolate made with chili pepper? omg so good. *dies*).
