[CS-FSLUG] The Truth about Soy

[Daniel Miller]

I remember my first natto experience.  It was scary.  My wife was
mixing the soy sauce and mustard in.  I asked her what it was and she
explained it to me.  I remember thinking that it smelled like stinky
feet.  I don't remember what it was that made me try it.  But after
getting past the initial odor, I just loved the taste.  Natto is very
stringy/sticky.  So, it can be bothersome when it get's in my facial
hair.  But hey, the kids love it too!  (Then again my daughter likes
eating tuna eyes.)

Blessings,
Daniel
