It always amazes me how different my kids taste buds are from each other. It also amazes me how one of my kids can eat some really weird flavour combinations but won't eat shrimp or fish. Like, really? This particular daughter of mine loves eating marmite. For those of you who don't know what marmite is, it is a yeast extract that is popular in Great Britain, and is quite often spread on toast and bread. It kind of reminds me of a really strong soya sauce, but more tar like in consistency. I am a not a fan, but my husband who grew up with it is. Well this daughter loves the stuff and will even eat it off a spoon. That even grosses out my husband.
My other kids have some certain likes and dislikes, but they seem obvious and ones I can understand. How weird it is.
Synopsis
A young boy likes making different creations in the kitchen. His sister thinks their disgusting and no one would ever want to eat it. Then a certain cliental comes a long that he can definitely cater too.
My Thoughts
This was a cute book. It was kind of funny how the aliens liked the stuff his sister liked and then at the end there was a flip. But even with that flip I found the ending just felt a bit flat.
It also frustrated me about how this kid was up all night feeding the aliens. Was he sleeping all day? Wouldn't his parents get a bit suspicious? I know I am probably reading too much into it but it bothered me!
All in all this is a fine book, especially for a budding experimental chef.
