I love natto! I know it's supposed to be absolutely disgusting, and both the smell and the texture don't do a lot to contradict that, but I just love it.

I used to get it from the Japanese grocery/space travel agency on U Street when I lived in DC.

Natto sandwiches? wow.

PP again. Add a small amount of mayo then stir like crazy until it gets really sticky.

I can only eat it if I can’t smell it. It makes good gyoza, though.

If you don't like mustard, how about a few drops of Sriracha or other hot sauce?

Kimchi, eggs and rice

Snot-o. Like the bottom of a dumpster.

But I love it!

Ugh. You are courageous. My father and cousin love natto, and delight in eating it as close to me as possible (without mustard - just as is, or maybe with a bit of soy sauce or furikake). I find the stink is worse than the taste, like cheeses and durian, but I still can't do it. My cousin hates pungent cheese, though, and I love them. There's no accounting for tastes!

Anyone else eating natto regularly? I was a little bit intimidated at first to try it, but it really is quite benign with some rice and little bit of soy. I've been eating it regularly for breakfast or lunch and have seen my BP drop a few points. It is a great super food that is satiating on a few calories. How else should I be preparing? I know the traditional way is to include mustard, but I hate mustard of all kinds.
