That not withstanding, I got you and Greenman to agree on something at a time when that seemed the right and best thing to do.

"That" happens in nature a lot. An entire genus of beetles feed solely on dung. Many species of mammals eat the dung of other mammals, and the naturalist in me was simply curious. It demanded an answer unavailable in the literature. There is zero chance of it becoming a habit. The initial experience was so powerful and strong, there is no need or desire ever to repeat it.

Much of taste is genetically controlled. Both dottir and I can't eat cilantro. To us it tastes like soap.

There was a fabulous biology teacher at the high school I attended. He was there long before me. Lloyd Shaw. He took his biology students on a week long horseback trip around the local mountains, teaching biology in the field. He was so loved, the school named the performing arts building for him. He also sponsored a square dancing club. He told his biology classes earthworms were edible, and to force proof, one day his class showed up with cooked earthworms. I have eaten them too. Taste is like chicken, with texture of oysters.
I have eaten many species of insects too. Grubs of most beetles taste like scallops. Spiders taste like crab, and Orthoptera- crickets, grasshoppers and phasmids, taste like lightly salted, buttered shrimp.

In summers I used to take groups of my music students on hikes, climbs and camping trips, like Lloyd Shaw did with his biology students. I felt it was important for them to know about what they "saw" up there every day. It made an impact, and I got better musicians from it because of how they learned to learn, and take serious things seriously.
