Uneducated Palate
I haven’t a fine palate. I barely can distinguish
between the different dishes that I’m given to extinguish.
I do not know a dumpling from a fancy knish.
I do not have an inkling of the different sorts of fish.
So if you’re short of delicacies and you have to skimp,
just dole me out some hot dogs and save your fancy shrimp
for someone who appreciates the difference between them,
for I am just a landlocked girl who’s never even seen them!
Today’s prompt words are distinguish and skimp. Here are links:

Me too: Of all the foods there are to savor few there be that I disfavor.

You used “scrimp” instead of “skimp,” but that’s fine because they’re pretty much synonymous. 😉

I can definitely identify! I’ve never gotten past the idea that shrimp looks like a fancy cutworm. 🙂

It was shrimp and calamari (squid) that tipped me over the edge for a gout diagnosis. Not considered fancy here, but I can’t eat either — or a fancy hot dog!

Luckily I never liked seafood–or fish. I had gout once when I was 23 in Australia.. never since.
