Off late I've had a weird craving that to eat a lot of black coloured food.
Any food that's black in colour I feel a terrible urge to ingest, indulge, invest
Be it squid ink dyed pasta or black rice or black rice pudding or anything that has anything to do with black sesame.
I've an odd fondness for a rather sticky Chinese dessert which isn't as sweet as one would expect desserts to be, but it sets my heart a flutter. It's something called Tang Yuan. A sticky boiled rice ball filled with sesame paste. It's a rather palettes cloying dessert, in that it sticks to the roof of your mouth, teeth and tongue and bursts apart in a sweet tinted black goo that looks devilish but tastes angelic.
Right, black food. So this hankering to eat black foodstuffs. Black olives are especially inviting. Those salty dry looking unpitted ones. Ones that don't come packed in watery brine.
Maybe for a few days until this silly mania dies I will indulge myself in something black every day.
Could be my taste buds are turning goth or maybe an inner urge to indulge in something deeply decadent. After all black coloured food doesn't spring to mind as naturally as would, say green.
Perhaps a damnable delight of degenerate diet.
And depraved only in terms of colour, because black might seem tastefully austere in clothing but richly debauched when it comes to food.
