I have to admit the Spice Company got me in. I found myself thinking "What in all the world Dawn thinks to be funny about a spice shop?" ... then I read the text. No words for that really. ;-P
And chunky dairy stuff, ewww, that's gross! At least it doesn't seem to have caused any... unwanted consequences. ;) It reminds me of the one time my mother was making a salad and I wanted to try the mozzarella, only that it wasn't really good anymore... I spit it all out again it tasted that bad.
It makes me think more of [...] some of our experiments with leaving food under the heat lamp all night to see what would happen.
Dawn, I'm having a bad impression of you now. Playing with food, really! ;-P
I have to admit, as a non-native speaker I first wondered what's so strange about the word "crusty" when speaking about food. Then I read your examples and thought about the German equivalent ("krustig" means about the same and also wouldn't be used for food, though "Kruste" is often used for something crispy on top of food stuff and hasn't the gross ring to it either) and it became pretty clear to me... who knows, they were probably going for "crispy" or so... (would that be okay with food?). ;)
