Hello! I’m back.
As a quick recap… 2013 was the year I attempted to eat a new food a week for fifty-two weeks and write wittily and insightfully about the experience.
In a nutshell, I failed. I only ate twenty-eight virgin foodstuffs and I was probably only witty or insightful about three times. If you wish to revisit any of my culinary ‘adventures’, feel free to have a click around somewhere to the left of here.
When I started the year, I had visions of eating an array of exciting things – like monkey brain and camel testicles – but pretty much ended up shoving a different exotic fruit into my mouth-hole every other week.
In my defence, have you ever tried to buy the contents of a simian noggin or dromedary gonad in your local Tesco? They just never seem to have them in stock.
To distract myself from the disappointment of my foodal failure, I spent the entirety of 2014 attempting to spot as many species of bird as possible – whilst trying (and failing) to report my progress in a witty and insightful manner (Are you noticing a theme?). If you are intrigued as to what went on in my life last year, click here.
If I’m honest, I couldn’t think of a new challenge for 2015, so I will sporadically return here with news of new food ingestions in – yep, you’ve guessed it – an attempted witty and insightful manner.
Now where did I put that South-East Asian fruit?
I bet you can’t wait!
