Umeboshi - This stuff is unbelievable i dont think i can even imagine how bad it tastes anymore it was so bad.
Imagine the 10 worst tasting things you hate, eat them one after another, then spin around on your chair 500 times, then cut your wrists and your still not feeling as bad as you would be eating this
__________________
LOL. Umeboshi took some getting used to, for me, but I like it! What was such a problem for you?
Ugh...umeboshi.
I just don't like pickled anything, though. Not even cucumbers.
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)
Hehe... Umeboshi's better than those shrimp-flavored fries, at least. I had both when my penpal came to visit; she wasn't expecting me to like either one. I did get some Decoror Pocky out of her, too, though. (The chocolate-caramel cake flavor) ^_^
