Yup "cats pajamas" is rather good; sort of rolls off the tongue in a 
satisfying sort of way.

These tastes are very much bound up with one's childhood; have you ever 
tried "Marmite"? I was brought up
on it (its a sort of yeast extract); most people who do not come from 
the British Isles can't stand it.

Here in Bulgaria there is a drink called 'Boza' which can best be 
described as fermented oatmeal porridge;
just watching my wife drinking the stuff gives me the creeps; it's meant 
to be very good for you,
all sorts of vitamins and so forth; but I'm just too culture-bound to go 
near the stuff.

I have lived in 3 desert regions (all in the Middle East) so am fairly 
well up on hibiscus
and the sudden flowering of the desert after rain.
