@Plussizejumpsuit if you like gnocchi you might like Korean rice cakes (tteokbokki), they’re quite similar but usually served in soups or stir fries with spicy gochujang chili sauce.

@TheYearOfSmallThings

Oh and also the smell of tarmac being laid, new carpet, new vinyl, fresh paint, and (within reason, and outdoors) silage and horse poo. And sawdust. And the London Underground.
Most of these (except silage and horse poo). Add: the smell of creosote

And socialism, not the New Labour faux-socialist kind, but proper 70s and 80s-style old-fashioned leftie socialism, the kind uninformed people think is communism but so isn't.

Yes I do like them!! This is exactly the type of texture I'm talking about. Just feel it isn't a popular texture.

Do people not like mushy peas and tomato juice? They are two of my fave things.

@Plussizejumpsuit nobody in my family likes tomato juice, and they all look at me with disgust when I drink it.
