Long time ago I promised Stitchawl that I am going to read about oolong and create a mind map. It still remains a promise only:



Spot on Sir!
Obviously, I cannot speak for Stitchawl, but when I get tan and instead of looking like the proper Western European Jewish, I can easily be mistaken for the Proper Mexican, I retain the tan for a very looooong time. Now, you have giving me a food for thought. Tannins might be just right and the most plausible explanation of the phenomenon


It explains why I like Italian food.
I cannot stand this spice. I can loose appetite if I smell the caraway seeds.
About half a year ago we got a new stall once a week on a gourmet market. They sell ray bread (Ray Bread in the UK? ). A few varieties in fact. One of them looked like it has got raisins. I asked the seller whether it was ray bread with raisins and he said: Yeah, caravan raisin bread and I bought it. Imagine my surprise when I came home, unpacked it, cut off a couple of slices for my smarter part and myself and she asked me why I was frowning. With a genuine puzzlement on my face I said that it smelled like caraway seeds but it surely was impossible! So, I tried it and spat it out. I broke the slice into small pieces and what I found?!? Caraway seeds!
Spoiler:
Now, taking into account that my listening skill in English is quite lousy, I thought he said something like: Caravan raisin ray bread. I took it for a specific name of the bread, for example, like: German ray bread. Later, I realised that the chap said: Yeah, Caraway raisin bread.

Initially my wife refused to believe me when I said that I smelled it and then tasted the caraway seeds flavour. She argued that it tasted absolutely fine and I imagined the whole thing. Demonstrations of the seeds didn't help much.
On the next market day I went to the stall and asked the same question and READ the sign for it.
The week after that, I grabbed her (my smarter part) by the scruff of her tiny neck, drugged her to the stall on marked and I shoved the sign with the bread name into her ...into her.... showed the bread sign and timidly smiled




Meanwhile, white yoghurt and plums.
Gosh, I though you were getting kinky. At last. Then I opened the spoilers (3 of them, seriously ?).


What does a typical western european jewish person looks like ? I think that it is very difficult to tell.
Because I can have quickly a good tan, but never dark, just bronze but with freckles, and in the winter time I have a very fair skin, and the undertone is gold, not olive. If I am not careful with the sun, I burn.
My hair is brown, with an auburn tinge, eyes are light brown. People always think I am italian.
My brother on the contrary is strawberry blond with blue eyes (same set of parents). My son has light brown hair with brown eyes and a very, very fair skin. My daughter is blond with brown eyes with my skin color.
