Mum's Tuck Box

[ailbhe]

In spite of my gut-reaction being negative, I think I will have a private stash of special food children aren't allowed to raid. They are good about my private things, like my desk and my art materials.

It just feels wrong to do it with food.

But I really need to know that when I stumble irritably towards the cereal bars, they'll be there, and not have the tops bitten off to see which one is nicest.

In our family -- and I mean back generations -- everyone tries to develop a liking for at least one food that everyone else hates. My grandmother liked prune yogurt. My mother likes canned beets. I like Moxie.

For Lis's part, she gets the benefit of this because I hate hazelnuts, meaning that I'll never eat her Nutella.

So, yeah. In my family, having "ONLY FOR ME" food that you can rely on when you need it is not only accepted, but we do our best to brain-hack ourselves to ensure this.
