I keep returning to the things I used to love to eat, even if now I might as well be eating sand, because I'm hopeful that eventually, my taste will return to some semblance of normalcy (or in the case of spicier foods, that eventually I'll retrain my mouth, much like training a child to eat something). I keep trying to eat things that are difficult for me to eat because I need the practice. I'll admit to bouts of despair that anything will be close to normal again, but if I don't make the effort, I'll never know. And somehow, to me, not knowing is worse than not trying. I highly recommend trying everything and anything - although I find that if something isn't seasoned pretty well, it's difficult for me to taste it at all. I never thought about yakitori. Mmmm.

Maybe I should go try again?
