conulyThis was great. I like salmon just fine, but...
You know, it's almost a stereotype that autistics avoid strongly flavored foods and only like bland, safe tastes and textures. This is probably because the kid who subsists on mashed potatoes and sauceless pasta worries his parents more than the grown-up (or kid!) who eats just about anything.
However, differences in sensory processing go in all directions, and I have the opposite set-up. I love and crave strong flavors!
So to me, I love lox (eaten with lots of onions!), but plain salmon is... well, it's a mild fish. And it tastes all right, but mostly what I taste is just that it's very rich. I can only take so much of that!
The nieces LOVE salmon. At $10 a pound, they damn well better! I don't buy it very often at that price! A pound of salmon is just not as much as you might think, and they could polish that off easily between the two of them.
They didn't like the horseradish topping very much, but it was easy for them to scrape off. I think, in fact, I may have found the perfect salmon dish for us - a strong topping for me, and mild salmon for them! Except that it's going to be a while before I make it again at that price. What am I going to do to use up the rest of the jar of horseradish?
