A discussion I had ages ago with Dolly reminded me about the existence of the bane of my childhood: semolina porridge. Oh, how I used to hate it. I would only eat it with lots of strawberry preserves, and then unwillingly.
So, last week I decided it's time to put this behind me. It's ridiculous to go through life convinced I hate semolina when I haven't had it in 20 years, and besides, it was on sale at the local grocery store.
Conclusion: it's edible. I still haven't learned to love it, but I don't seem to hate it anymore. Adding a scoop of vanilla ice-cream makes it taste like ... vanilla ice-cream (oddly enough), which is actually quite nice. On the whole, it's just bland baby food that tastes like whatever you add to it.
Maybe one day I can conquer my distaste for noodles in milk... But I don't think it's going to be any time soon.
