Oh, the earth, dirt, mud



Amazing taste on young lips



How it made us spit!

    Isn’t funny how everyone has tasted dirt at least once. I can still remember the gritty flavor.

    Mud pies! Definitely an acquired taste!
    Well done!

    Funny! I always say “I’d rather eat dirt” in regards to certain foods I don’t like. I don’t think it’s really true though!

    This is fun, it took me back to childhood, though it was grass I ate rather than mud…

    Many thanks to all for your generosity. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at the commonality of our youthful experiences.

    I like the different tastes with different soils. i never swallowed on purpose though. I was a good spitter. The memories came back easily.
