When I was a small child, my mother and grandmother would make farina or cream of wheat for me and set it out to skin up good before I ate it. I loved those skins. I also wanted my pudding dished out early to skin up. And I loved the skins on sausages.
But I hated strings! They used to have string beans that had a string in them--those strings would make me gag--I had to carefully remove each one. And celery--forget celery! Ugh. GAK!
Strings on mozzarella however, that was different. I loved lasagna, pizza and just plain mozzarella. Mmm, those strings were good.
And I loved gluey stuff. Big gobs of fish-eye tapioca. Mmm.
So it is no surprise that today I love spring rolls, with their soft stretchy gluey skins, I made some for lunch again today, mmmmm, with healthful salad inside. (I'm talking raw spring rolls, not fried ones.)

I can eat everything you mentioned. The only stringy thing I hate to put in my mouth is a tampon.
You mean you don't pull them out with your teeth?
I don't mind wading in the 'Red River,' but I won't drink from it.
LOL! Aiee, how did we get into this from talking about spring rolls and tapioca?
Strings in your mouth!
I never pulled a tampon out with my teeth, but I had one get lost up inside one time when someone was too eager to do same or allow me to.
