- Foods you fall in love with when you're on holiday are never as good when you bring them home and try to recreate the excellent meals you had in other countries (am sure there's a metaphor for relationships in here somewhere, but I'm going to ignore it for now). Examples include rye crackers from Finland, Genovese pesto from Italy and chorizo from Spain
- The taste and appeal of said foods drop exponentially when you forget you bought them, realise months later that you should probably eat them and then find, after the first mouthful (naturally), that they have been past their expiry dates for quite a while
Less unpleasant revelations to follow soon.
