I completely forgot about the revolting natto. I tried it more than
once at Japanese restaurants so I could add it with assurance to my
microscopic list of Japanese things I dislike. And then one crazy
night I found a chef who had made deep-fried egg rolls with natto
inside--and was flabbergasted that it tasted fantastic!

Still it's a whole lot of labor for a lowly bean before it has a
microscopic enclave where it's tasty.
