altarielThe number called was N38.

The Little Hobbit Lass That Didn’t Like Mushrooms
“No, thank you,” said the-little-hobbit-lass-that-didn’t-like-mushrooms to Gammer Noakes. “I don’t like mushrooms.”
“Don’t like mushrooms?” said Gammer Noakes. “Whoever heard of a hobbit that didn’t like mushrooms?”
But the little-hobbit-lass didn’t like mushrooms, and while nearly everyone thought this was strange, her little-hobbit-brother didn’t, because he got more mushrooms.
One day, merchants from the south came to Sarn Ford. The little-hobbit-lass-who-didn’t-like-mushroom’s father went to the market there, and came home with a soft knobbly ball that smelled of newly-ploughed earth and autumn rain, and tasted of strange, wonderful lands. And the-little-hobbit-lass-that-didn’t-like-mushrooms discovered that she did like some mushrooms after all.

Date: 2012-03-18 05:55 pm (UTC)I loved mushrooms as a kid, then went right off them in my mid-twenties, partly texture (squeaky against teeth), partly I couldn't put it out of my mind that they were fungi. After a decade's campaigning by Mr Altariel, I'm now perfectly fine with them again. Especially truffles.
