No thanks

Being a parent of a picky eater, I was pondering the phenomenon of knowing that you don't like something, even without having tasted it. Then again, I had to concede that I, in fact, am certain that I don't like cauliflower, even though I've never tasted it. Similarly - I'm absolutely positive that I don't like anchovies, but again, I've never tried them - so how can I know for sure?

I would however love to try one of these scorpion crumpets ...

Anyone else have similar un-confirmed confirmations?

Only 36 more days to wait!

17 years and 5 months of waiting, 2 years of planning (we're an impulsive group), and now just a little more than a month away!
