ACES CURE PLANES posted:I don't know if I'm just weird or what, but I love the smell and taste of cilantro, but it also has a weird soapy tinge to it that I also kind of enjoy. I put it in my rice all the time whenever I make it and the taste and smell just permeate through the whole dish and goddamn it's great. I'm the same way. I love cilantro and didn't understand people telling me that it was soapy. Suddenly, about 2 years ago, it started tasting soapy to me. It still does. I still put a poo poo-load in everything Mexican and Thai, but now I understand why some people can't stand it. p.s. I kinda like how Soap tastes.

blunt for century posted:Being liquored up would definitely help me try land bugs. I've honestly heard good things about some land bugs, like fried grasshoppers and scorpions are supposed to be really tasty I tried some Scorpion in New Mexico once (because they serve goddamn everything there) from a place I'm still told to this day is the best, and it tasted rank as hell. Apparently my experience differs from everyone else's so maybe I just got a bad one or something I dunno. Rattlesnake on the other hand is goddamn delicious and I want to go full-on Snake Eater and try out various kinds just to see what they taste like.

However I don't know how they compare to sea bugs because I'm allergic to literally everything seafood and don't eat it. Land bugs, though...they can be real drat good.

I tried some worm mezcal the other day, and I had to take several shots of gold tequila to get the taste out of my mouth. I do not like the taste of worm. Not that I have eaten them, but I used to work in a pet store where we had live worms as reptile food, and the taste is what they smell like so it was super nasty to me. I have unfortunately accidentally eaten flour beetles when I lived in an apartment building infested with them, and those fuckers taste like the Devils flaming rear end in a top hat. So I just prefer to not eat arthropods of any kind now.

I had chapulines in Oaxaca, Mexico. It wasn't very good, tasted kind of off. They were made into a dip for corn chips, and I didn't notice I was eating grasshopper paste before someone pointed out the legs sticking out of the dip.

Why would you deep fry lovely plain bread? e: or lettuce, or a big mac come to think of it. I don't deep fry anything, but if I did, there's a lot better things to deep fry than a big mac. Fo3 has a new favorite as of 13:58 on Mar 1, 2015 |

The first time I tried one I ordered it because I was shitfaced and it was the only thing my drunken mind could remember McDonald's served. I took two bites and threw it in a dumpster. When your fast food is so unappetizing that a drunk person can't enjoy it, there's problems, son.

I've had grilled or fried sandwiches, but not deep fried, and I never will. Deep fry vegetables (chips/fries, onions, fritters), deep fry curried vegetables (pakora, bhaji), deep fried filled pastry dough (spring rolls, dim sims, samosas), deep fry legume patties (falafels etc), deep fry meat (chicken, pork, fish, calamari, prawns). But I'll never deep fry a sandwich or big mac.

I had Ostrich once and expected it to taste like chicken, but really it's closer to beef. Good stuff. Something like Iguana I can't imagine being worth the effort, how much meat can really be on there?

They're just size responsive to their environment so caged ones never do. I'd link a pic but I'm phone posting. It may also be a species thing, but I've definitely seen 4-5 foot iguanas in Florida before.

I once accidentally shot a squirrel with a bow I had as a child. It was down on the range and I didn't realize it. Watching that thing slowly die has removed my ability to ever see them as food, and it's sad because I've heard it's pretty decent. I just can't get over 9 year old me watching that poor thing bleed out with a broken spine.

The female lead in the film is Geena Davis, who is also an olympic-grade archer. The joke is that if you tagged a squirrel from that far away nevermind Iguana is pretty good and there's a surprising amount of meat on a decent-sized one. It has a taste and texture reminiscent of thigh meat from a chicken.
