Food!

It is very early in the morning. When it is very early in the morning I am usually very hungry. Actually most of the time I am very hungry. I was thinking about this today, and I decided that if there was unlimited food in our house I just would not stop eating. I eat enough as it is. But I am really craving some pasta right now. The twirly kind. Fusilli? I had spaghetti for dinner as well. I quite like the texture of fusilli pasta. All pasta really but especially fusilli. I think I will make a top ten of food textures I like.

1. The aforementioned fusilli pasta. I just love the texture of pasta, so soft yet slightly rubbery and it is delicious with some sauces (tomato pesto or spinach and ricotta).
2. Croutons. They are so crunchy! I love it when you put them in soup and they are soft on the outside but crunchy on the inside. And I love tomato croutons.
3. Chocolate Brownie. Especially the middle. That gooey, soft inner brownie. Melts in your mouth.
4. Mushrooms. There's not really a way to describe a mushroom's texture but it is different from any other food.
5. Baguettes. I love France for this. I just love the crunchy outside and the softer inside. Also I prefer the taste of baguettes to normal bread.
6. Chocolate truffles. The hard outer shell but the melt-in-your-mouth innards. Especially the really dark chocolate ones.
7. Sushi. I haven't had much sushi in my life but I love the whole rice and fish combo. Just two totally different textures mix together and it's interesting.
8. Fudge. I love the soft but very slightly chewy texture of this sweet.
9. Alright this is more that one food but the Chinese duck pancakes with cucumber and spring onions. I love the chewy pancake, the crunchy vegetables and the stringy duck. And hoisin sauce is delicious.
10. Mussels. They're so weird but nice.

Those weren't in any particular order to be honest. Just ten foods with awesome textures.

Anyway today I finished Dracula and the ending is not so great but Renfield is indeed awesome with his fly obsession.

Now I have made myself hungrier. I'm so clever. Also I realise that this blog may sound a bit dirty, but hey, we've all seen food porn before (M & S ads).
