I was like that at that age and thankfully my mother respected this because she told me years later that her parents were not so easy on her. When she was young and things she thought were "vial", they forced her to eat with an end result of her running to the "room". As I got older and to my own choice, I began to appreciate foods I so detested in my past. But to me (as I look back on it) was a form of independence. As I got older I began to try foods (in a nonstressful way) and make my decision as what was yay or nay. To this day I still go through this. The foods I disliked in my teens I like now, and things I loved in my teens I gag thinking of it

Pointy: I developed this crust recipe specifically for this tart, but you could certainly substitute just about any standard tart dough recipe, just bear in mind that certain dough recipes are better for use with moist fillings than others.

But here's the deal with the egg white and cereal: Egg white helps to make/keep baked goods crunchy and/or dry, which is imporant here with the moist filling, plus using one egg white in the crust conveninently leaves you with the one yolk needed for the filling. The All-Bran was a shortcut to impart the nutty, graham cracker-like flavor and the specific texture that I was looking for without having to have wheat bran, whole wheat flour and malt powder/syrup on hand. Plus, I've found that the cereal has a longer shelf-life than the flour or the bran, both of which have a certain tendency to go rancid and funky after a while if not kept in the freezer.

If she eats avocados and goddess dressing, she a bit more adventurous than you might think. Maybe her parents don't offer her much of a variety. Like the other commenter said, I would take her to the store and let her pick some things she'd want to eat. I'm sure she'll probably come out with more than the few items you mentioned. Here's a tip: Write it down and give the list to her parents too! Good luck!

I'll jump in here before Cassendra does and point out that the Japanese "u" is a short sound. Not at all the double o in the English word "poor". Unless ofc you happen to be one of those accented English speakers who say "poor" like the "pur down in the mur."

I am hooked on the word used by The Food Pornagrapher-

"Bursty"

lol, i'm not sure, but from my minimal knowledge of phonetic Japanese, I would say: POOR-ee POOR-ee

Well, if we have accepted al dente into our English food lexicon, not to mention all the French cooking words we use daily, I'm all for saying "this shrimp has perfect song chuy, or puri puri," since we don't have that one word that captures the meaning.

Pink and just firm, but not enough to "meet the road".

This really sounds intriguing. I must try it.

But I don't get the egg white/All-Bran (?)crust.

this looks amazing. What a unique combination of flavors. I'll definitely have to try!

Plump and juicy, but firm to the bite...or maybe, "juicy tender crisp"? Or "crisp and succulent"?

How about "Frispy"? ;-D

Succulent.
