I love natto, especially nigiri-style. It’s fermented soybeans. Pop got into the habit of eating it when he was stationed in Japan. When I was small and he’d go to JapanTown to get soy milk for me (lactose intolerant) he’d get natto if they had it. Mom used to ask him to eat it in the basement, so one day, curious, I talked him into letting me taste it—and to his surprise, I liked it. My siblings can’t even stand the way it smells.
So as an adult, occasionally on my way to visit the folks I would pick up some natto. Pop and I would go eat it on the porch. 😅
