Art Work (as in a gift): wife:”The label, it’s not glossy paper, it’s a flat texture so the colors, because of the type pf paper, it doesn’t lend itself to bright colors. It’s says good boy, there’s a picture of a boy, and then there’s a hobby horse (technically it would be a rocking horse I believe). So I’m not sure what the hobby horse means. (Good Boy emphasizes different games depending on the product). Filetes de Carapau, so what’s Carapau?” me:”Caribou. Yes this is not sardines, it’s Caribou. (with hindshight, I should have said it was a Rocking Caribou as well). So, Oh, horse mackerel. Now the horse! (she laughs) Carapau. It has olive oil, salsa. Oh my goodness, the sodium, don’t read it. A 1/3 of the day of sodium. me:”I need electrolytes and salt, so good for me” wife:”Yea. Contains horse mackerel.” me:”Now you get to try horse mackerel. Is it whole or fillets?” wife:”Horse mackerel, olive oil, garlic, parsley, sea salt. So they say salsa. me:”It says fillets, ok” wife:”Salsa must be the parsley? Is alho the garlic? I don’t know, olive oil I think is the azeite. Is aeite the olive oil? I don’t know. (Lets out a sigh) I forget, oh it’s gluten free, hey daughter.

Liquid taste: wife:”So the oil, actually it’s funny, it smells (does she mean taste here?) like the oil. The oil is a little funny. (sticks her tongue in and out several times, just making faces) Yuck. The oil has a funny taste.
