That reminds me. I can't stand cilantro. I can deal with iit f used very sparingly, but not much. There is an "authentic" Mexican restaurant (no, not Taco Hell) in town that uses mostly that in its salsa.

But I know those who adore it.

oh, me either! cilantro is gross. And I eat Mexican food all the time, but if it's got too much cilantro--nope.

I'm with you two. I'm forced to get the tacos at my nearby Qdoba because they lace their rice with the stuff.

(Eff you for hatin' me for going to Qdoba. Actual authentic Mexican = chicken anuses in hot sauce no thanks)

Cloud · 05-15-2007, 07:04 PM

I don't know what Qdoba is, but I've been going to Mexico for 45 years, had Mexican cooks, lived in Mexico (and live on the border now) and never, never had chicken anuses. My cats probably have, though.

I've eaten eggs, which come out of chicken vaginas though and contain, well, you know--unbaby chickens. Also see my comments about TRIPE in the scary foreign foods thread (shudder).

So, you go right ahead and order those tacos!

I like cilantro; it gives depth to tomato salsas which otherwise merely taste of onion and varying amounts of minced chiles. Any damn fool can make salsa hot -- making it complex and subtle takes understanding of the ingredients, one of which ought to be cilantro.

A friend of mine says cilantro tastes like soap, which puts him right off. Tasting, I understand why he says that, but cilantro doesn't bother me -- it doesn't come up to that borderline where it would start tasting nasty.

Brussels sprouts are greatly improved by a generous drizzle of olive oil, as is cooked cabbage.

I vote for Indian food. All of it.

I've tried many kinds and varieties from (allegedly) competent chefs.
Nothing and I mean NOTHING tastes good. Even the Pepsi is 'off' somehow.

I am friends with the owner of a big Indian restaurant in Bensalem despite ordering takeout Chinese at his fetes.

That you KNOW of. They probably don't label it Los Anus Felinus on the menu. :p

Anything "curry" that's british. Ugh. I don't know what it is, but it's not curry! Blech.
Lima beans -- though I won't pick them out of something.
Green peppers raw give me reflux, but I love other peppers, cooked greens and all chilies.

Hershey's syrup. That's my test for most restaurants -- if there's hershey's "chocolate" sauce on their desserts, they get a failing grade.

Not too fond of

either. But I love all other crustaceans and fish in general.

melidasaur · 06-01-2007, 03:09 PM

EGGS... can't stand them. I'm talking just straight up eggs or eggy things... if they are mixed into cookies or something like that, I'm fine.

Organ meat... no way in hell.

Mayonaise on sandwiches.... I can tolerate mixed in with things.

I know there are more things, but those are tops.

lizzymahoney · 06-01-2007, 04:25 PM

huh, I've eaten and enjoyed most everything mentioned so far, save the live octopus tentacles. I would probably like the flavor and texture, but am ambivalent about eating something that could walk away from me. I wouldn't go out and buy scrapple, but grew up eating it. Chitlins need to be cooked by someone other than me, and if they are cleaned well, I'm all over them.

Fake cheese in general is common enough in fast food, so it doesn't bother me.

Tarragon is one herb I avoid. It's in a lot of things, it smells as if I should like it, and the taste is not bad if I'm being analytical. I've associated it with migraines somehow and will reject even trace amounts in dressings.

I think I'm having chicken anuses tonight.

Urbane Guerrilla · 06-02-2007, 05:19 AM

Haggis makes me ready to fight the Sassenachs after a long day of marching and piping -- with the breeze at the knees. Can't say as I've met a bad haggis yet.

"Och, my congratulations sirrr. It's the rare foreigner gets to see a wild haggis romp!"
