Post your food absolutes here

infinite monkey · 10-01-2013, 07:04 PM

I just saw a commercial for some sort of breakfast sandwich that had a piece of unrecognizable folded egg substance, it looked like a small yellow blanket, between the questionable bread and what i hoped was some delicious sausage.

Eggs should have their own little venue. they can be the star, or a calming sidedish...but please don't lump them with bread and meats and gravies. a little touch of salt is sufficient.

what combos make no sense to you?

Bell peppers when combined with actual foods are right out.

Try them grilled with onions, mushrooms, cheese and chicken. But put the peppers in last... once they go drab, it's over. Bright green.

My BIL eats mashed potatoes with Hellman's mayo every day of his life. Honestly it looks like curdled milk. barf

Cilantro and my mouth are two things that should never, ever be in the same place at the same time. Ever.

Blech.

Word.

Ruins guacamole. Tastes like metal.

I said right out! I can't taste anything but nasty peppers when they're introduced to food. They ruin sauces and sides alike.

Now cilantro is awesome with anything.

Yes to cilantro
No to Goat cheese

(sorry Griff)

monster · 10-02-2013, 06:23 AM

cilantro and peppers are both out for me

DanaC · 10-02-2013, 06:40 AM

I'm not big on peppers.

Eggs are outstanding mixed with other foods. Stirred into a wonton soup, mixed with other stuff into a quiche or casserole. Thrown in a salad.

The only bad egg dish I can think of is in Germany where they have a pizza where they crack a raw egg on top when the pizza is almost done and they put it back in the oven for a minute to just firm up the edges of the egg a little bit.

Bananas
Peanut butter
Fennel/ star anise/ anything licorice or aniseed flavoured really
Celery/ celeriac
Cucumber

I'm not fussy (don't listen to Limey) and will try anything.
But once I don't like a taste it ruins a dish or sandwich for me.
Luckily the swankier the menu, the more likely I am to find said ingredients; their loss.

Although the Chinese are far too fond of nuts (probably a major source of protien during one of their many periods of starvation.)After they wiped out whole bird populations.

Still it means it's the local Harvester for me.
Cheap n cheerful.

I'm with u, V on Cilantro. What is the point, other than it sounds exotic.

orthodoc · 10-02-2013, 11:02 AM

yes to cilantro
yes to aged Manchego (sheep's milk cheese)
no no no no no to okra

Pete Zicato · 10-02-2013, 11:51 AM

Okra is a weed. It should be plowed under and something useful planted.
