The Adventurous Palate

Sumner is an epicure whose tastes go well beyond deer poop and kibble. He’s game to try any new food at least once. Lettuce? Sure, why not? Broccoli? We all need our roughage. Don’t even get him started on fruits … he adores apples, bananas, and strangely enough, even oranges and tangerines. He took his penchant for unusual foodstuffs to a new level when he added wasabi to his “I’d like a lick” list. He had a taste of it off my plate after dinner a few weeks ago (yes, this dog trainer lets the pooches have few licks prior to loading the dish washer) and decided that the eye-watering, mouth-puckering tang was worthy of a second round. Sumner says, “Wasabi. Hurts so good.”
