Speaking of, I recently ate at a Japanese place my daughter took us to. I got a bowl of soup with several things in it, including fish cakes. Fish cakes sound appetizing; they sort of invoke thoughts of crab cakes, but they aren't anything like crab cakes. I wouldn't call it objectionable, but it wasn't altogether pleasant either. I suppose I could try them again, as foods tend to grow on me after a while.
I don’t outburst when someone suggests pizza. I do, however, get a little cranky when they try to pressure me into it, by saying things like, ‘But you haven’t had it from [insert name of their favourite pizzeria here]’ or ‘But I make it [an interminably dull recitation of their own special pizza recipe]’.
‘I don’t like pizza’ seems to be one of the hardest English sentences for people to understand.
