You can come to my house to see this in action. We had macaroni (real, not from a box) even though we know son won't touch it. Something about the texture is so off-puting to him. How specifically does it affect the nervous system?

Nothin' gross about it. And I don't like liver, I love it. You cook bacon and then cook liver (dredged in seasoned flour with just a touch of basil) in a bit of the bacon grease. Wonderful!

And yes, liver has flavor and you can actually chew it. Soup is flavored water with soggy stuff in it, and after you eat it, you're still wondering where your meal is. There's nothing enticing, satisfying or tasty about it to me.

o.k. you actually made liver sound good with your little recipe.

and lol lol at the bolded. Hilarious!
