My mum remembered being at school after the war when their teacher brought in a banana for them all to try for the first time!
Also - I get asparagus wee and yeah, you don't have to get in close to smell it
it's always like 'Eurgh, wtf?
Aaaaah yeah...
'. Iirc though, it's one of those things you either react to or you don't.
Sat - we had ham/salad cream/avocado sandwiches, crisps and mini Kitkats.
Sun - a chicken and veg stir fry with courgetti and strawberries and meringues with plain yoghurt.
Today - pissaladiere with baby plum tomatoes then caramel sponge pudding with squirty cream. Also got a mango that needs eating so the kids can have some of that, too (I'm not keen on mangoes).
