Recent chat about brand recipes reminded me of Augusten Burroughs's potato recipe written at the behest of the Potato Board (or whatever they were called), back when he'd just started out as a copywriter at the tender age of 19:Young Augusten Burroughs posted:Just slice a potato, broil for ten minutes, then sprinkle liberally with parmesan or blue.

Thing is, I love mexican food, especially when it doesn't have that fetid herb. I don't like when someone sneaks a bunch in the salsa or other stuff and all of a sudden bam, soap. I mean I really don't like it, It suuucks.

mng posted:I don't know what cilantro is supposed to taste like. Is it like a minty thing? Sometimes it tastes like soap to me, but other times it's just a weird flavor I can't pin down. I'm guessing that's a fresh vs. dried thing, but cilantro just confuses me whenever I have it. It tastes like cilantro. It's very specific of a flavor, kinda citrus and peppery.

When I can eat dairy again I’m gonna find and loving destroy some totchos. All the toppings. A quart of sour cream. Lord jesus please Never had a lobster roll though. I moved from Texas to Seattle so my lobster experiences have been limited to a Red Lobster dinner date twelve years ago + a paella that supposedly had a chunk of lobster in it. If that shits anything like a giant Patagonian pink shrimp I want both of those rolls nowww

Cilantro doesn't taste like soap to me, but I've had a beer that actually tastes like soap. Unibroue A Tout Le Monde (ironically one they made in conjunction with Megadeth) is a saison that tastes disturbingly like floral shampoo or body wash. The slight bitterness only adds to the impression that you accidentally got soap in your mouth. There's been some gross beers. Scratch Brewing Company Mumm is a gruit ale flavored with herbs instead of hops and fermented with wild yeast to taste like medieval brews. It tastes like sour candy and bacon.

Facebook Aunt posted:Corn based foods seem like a good candidate for "American Food". Corn doesn't seem to have gotten absorbed into old world cuisine the same way tomatoes, potatoes and peppers did. Largely yes, with the caveat of Mexican food. They both have a lot of corn dishes for obvious reasons.

I feel like cilantro tasted like soap to me when I was young and first tried it, but over time when I tried it again it somehow grew on me and I like it now. When I found out it's supposed to be a genetic thing I felt somewhat confused at why it would change over time. Anyway I'm glad I like it because pico and guac would not be the same without it.

I dunno if that means I've got the gene and don't care, or I was expecting soap taste the first time around so much I fooled myself into actually tasting it, or there are subtly different strains of cilantro.

Once you just accept that soap is delicious, it really opens up your culinary horizons.

I’ve made beer that’s tasted soapy (to my eternal shame; I’m a professional brewer, not a home brewer with polite friends). Too much floral-tasting spice will do that pretty easily. I hosed up with cardamom, learned nothing then hosed up with lemongrass, but in both cases there are still people that ask if we’re making those ones again.

It's weird. I love Thrills gum (tagline: It still tastes like soap!) but no matter how many times I force myself to eat it I don't acclimate to cilantro.

My Lovely Horse posted:Same. Got some in a soup at a great Thai place and thought "okay, that really does taste pretty soapy... but actually goes very well with the soup". And from that point on I just kept eating it and lost the soap sensation very quickly, except for one or two more times when it was like, dang man fuckin cilantro is soapy today. I think some of it is just that people use way too much for me. A bit chopped into salsa? Great. On the other hand, we have a local bahn mi place that sticks half a plant on each sandwich. I tear off 3 or 4 leaves and hand the rest off to my wife. It's ok as an accent but I want to taste other things too.

I remember ordering some cilantro sauce chicken and it was cooked into the sauce so not as easy to just pick out. I thought it would be okay since I usually like cilantro but it was too much for me. I'm also a wimp when it comes to spice/chilis so it was kind of like how I am with that, I just needed less of it.

I ask for literal fistfuls of cilantro in my burritos. I cannot actually get enough of it. When I used to grow it I would bite it off the plant because I’m an obsessed freak. I want cilantro toothpaste and cilantro deodorant but my boyfriend would probably leave me because he haaaaaates it. I made raita last week that was half cilantro and I could barely taste it over the mint and lemon juice.

I've got this Mexican cookbook where it says for one recipe "adjust the amount of cilantro to taste, you'll probably want to use only a stalk or two, a Mexican cook would surely use a whole bunch" and I thought, look, I didn't get a Mexican cookbook to not do what a Mexican cook would do.

I see your beard beer and raise youquote:Imagine woman of your dreams, your object of desire. Her charm, her sensuality, her passion… Try how she tastes, feel her smell, hear her voice… Now imagine her giving you a passionate massage and gently whispering anything you'd like to hear. Now free your fantasies and imagine all of that can be closed in a bottle of beer. A golden drink brewed with her lure and grace and flavored with wild instincts. Imagine a beer which every sip offers a rendez-vous with this hot woman of your dreams… she hugs you and kisses you gently, looking straight into your eyes… How much would you give for such a beer? e: to be fair I'm not sure they're actually actively brewing the vagina beer or if that's more of a concept

The local create-your-own hotpot place has cilantro in the veggies section. My boyfriend got it once, ended up being a a giant mound of cilantro that dwarfed everything else we got. And this place charges you extra if you don't eat all the add-ins you order so we ate way too much cilantro. (We still hid half of it at the bottom of the hotpot)
