    I'm reading Drew Magary's Funbag, and it got to ranking types of cheese balls...and all I can say is....

    THESE, MOTHERFUCKERS

    I don't think I have sampled those.  I find cheeseballs to be utterly disgusting, yet completely & wonderfully addictive.

    That's absolutely the right take on cheese balls. The ones above? No way you're not finishing the entire container in one sitting.

    What in the Sam hell is Chihuahua cheese?

    As to cilantro, have given it a go several times, but nope.

    (Well, I tried, didn't I? Goddammit, at least I did that)

    Does it taste like soap? I've hear that from some people - I know cilantro is one of those foods some people just can't eat/like due to their taste buds being different.
    Not soapy, but...quite a disagreeable taste / aftertaste - sort of like Thai basil (LOVE the standard everyday kind though).

    When I was a kid, I ate one of those small decorative soap things someone had in their guest bath.  Looked like candy :angry:

    False
    Cilantro isn't even from the same continent as tomatoes and chilis, which are the only truly necessary ingredients for salsa.

    Also, it's a flavor that is hated by many and it abjectly ruins salsas when overused, or if you are unfortunate enough to buy bolted coriander.

    When the conquistadors discovered native Americans eating salsa, there was no cilantro in sight.

    I don't hate it, but I don't find it necessary either.  It's like many other herbs, if you can taste it overtly, you've used too much.

    Isn't that Pico de gallo then and not salsa?

    Salsa, salsa fresca...cook it or not, doesn't matter, tomatoes and chilis!

    Of course, I would never make a salsa of any type without onion, garlic, and salt, but I don't cook anything without the glorious three.

    I came to know all tacos of the good variety (on the street) to have cilantro.
    Maybe it's an LA thing.

    Neil Gamby seems to know food...and really know farm fresh food better than most of us....but should we take taco knowledge from a dude from Ohio?
    :lol:
    Hats off to ya brother....but I'm going with Mexican know how on tacos and salsa,!

    Liz ..Dan....we ride tonight!

    :)

    I'd still love to taste the salsas without cilantro that Neil Gamby cooks up

    I use cilantro lol
    Just not very much.

    I used to like it more and then I grew some and it bolted and ruined me on it.
    When it bolts to seed the flavor intensifies, in a bad way, and it grows like a weed.  I had coriander volunteers coming up in earnest for 2 seasons and I still find it coming up in the yard and the woodline 4 years later!

    Cilantro I have come to accept is a grow it, harvest it and replant it type of herb.  Same thing with lettuce.  They don't last long.

    Fuck cilantro!

    My mom planted watercress and mint in the backyard of my first childhood home.  Beautiful, and grew wildly, abundantly.  And much enjoyed.

    Mint is a damn weed!  Tomatoes seem to thrive with them around though!

    Agreed. If I get a house-made salsa at a restaurant, there better be cilantro in it!

  • F Me In The BrainF Me In The Brain this knows everybody from other commets Posts: 31,382
    You had me at Vodka

    Made burgers tonight.  Grass fed.  Simple salting and cook in a cast iron pan.
    Lettuce
    Tomatoes
    Pickles
    Heinz
    And..... breaking from traditional approach I put mustard on.
    Beer mustard, inspired by our recent posts on the subject of mustard.

    Bangin'

    The tuna pasta recipe from an early Deep issue is a good deviation from the childhood standard from time to time.
