Ally’s Late Night

March 29th, 2010 [ Tags: , , ]

It’s never a good idea to go out drinking on a Monday night, but dammit, sometimes you just gotta celebrate.

Sorry natto lovers, but fermented soy beans are not something that I ever want to put in my face on purpose. It’s definitely an acquired taste that I have yet to acquire. Although, I’m guessing that if you drink enough beer, natto would taste just fine.

↓ Transcript

PANEL 4
ALLY: I totally overdid it. There was natto and beer and oysters and beer and more natto and...

    Eurgh, natto. That’s even worse than fermented tofu. YES, people eat that and LIKE it. Weirdos.

    Natto?

    Natto is fermented soybeans. The next comic will actually have a picture of stuff. Blech! I think it’s eaten as a desert type thing.

    As far as I know, artists need some time to find out their true drawing style which they like the most (like character sketches, etc). Sometimes, they develop a really weird and, to be honest, not-so-fancy-looking one, calling it “true art”. But this style of yours looks really nice to me. Question: is it a “leftover” from the original ErfWorld that you had to develop for a particular reason, or is it a natural one? Or perhaps something else? I promise not to bother you anymore (maybe with a few exceptions :P ).

    I guess this style has kind of evolved over time. It’s not at all related to what I was doing with Erfworld, but I’m sure there are similarities since it’s still my hand.

    Strange, I actually like natto.
    Especially mixed into scrambled eggs for an omelet.

    Natto is amazing, I haven’t really heard of people eating it as dessert. Definitely acquired taste, though. With a little bit of karashi and some chopped green onions, it’s great over rice for breakfast.

    I’ve known people to love natto. I’ve heard it’s really good for you, but I can’t stand stinky food so it ain’t happening. Doesn’t help when my girlfriend eats it then tries to kiss me.

    The thing I’m a little confused about with this particular strip is… where is the comic taking place again? America, right? We’ve got natto in America? I’m an east coast guy so maybe I’m not hip to something going on over on the other side…

    Justin — Yeah man, you can get Natto in some Asian markets around here. Not saying that I would ever actually purchase it…

    My first (and only) encounter with natto gave me the consensus that it tasted like eating oil paints….chunky oil paints. It tastes so nasty. There is no reason to eat that. I was at a sushi bar in iwa kuni japan and thought i was strong enough to handle it so I tried it.
    DON’T EVER TRY IT!! NEVER PUT IT INTO YOUR MOUTH!! YOUR TONGUE WILL HATE YOU FOREVER FOR THE TORTURE!!! (TxT)

    I never acquired a taste for beer, either. Does that mean I’ll never try natto?

    Sounds like natto is like menudo: you have to “acquire” the taste but why the hell would you want to??
