Wonder if its because of my jobs. "I can see weird connections." Some colleagues were talking about how fast some blue-blooded guys rose through the ranks in the organization. Another colleague mentioned a double-promotion. The word blue-blood stuck in my head for a while. When I got home, I saw a plate of unfamiliar looking strips in a dish. At first I thought it was 海带呀海带... I saw the kelp, I gave a yelp.
Don't really like it although I know its nutritious. If I were stranded at sea, I would probably be eating lots of it to stay alive. It is so nutritious, I may even put on some weight out in the sea. Otherwise I just avoid it. My mum heard my yelp and told me its actually purple cabbage.
What a relief. It doesn't have much of a taste and in fact I think the usual pale green cabbage taste nicer. But because it has purple pigments in its leaves, it cost more than the usual cabbage. Reminded me of the blue-bloodedness conversations. Led me to one conclusion - its always good to have some blue pigments in your blood. A human with blue blood enjoys higher social status and income, a cabbage with blue pigments (purple is blue + red) is said to be more nutritious and is more expensive. Now, where did I leave my bottle of blue ink...
