Love Cilantro!

That sounds awesome (perhaps minus truffle oil) -- Sprouts done well are amazing.
At the Reading Terminal Market on Sunday the wife and 3 year old had some turkey breast from a place that specializes in it. 
When it is moist it is amazingly good. 


(OK Hedo, Daniel, whomever else...make the moist joke now.  )

I've never met a Sprout I liked.  I've tried, too.

(They're the vegetable equivalent of my herbal nemesis, cilantro.)

Ohhhh you're one of thoseeee!! You have a true aversion to Cilantro. Lmaoo... it's a real thing, look it up. I never heard of it until my co-worker, Toni, who eats and generally appreciates most foods was like "grosss cilantro taste like dirt!! She told me to Google it. I never knew it could gross people out until then!

Yes, ma'am!  It doesn't taste like dirt to me but is incredibly unappealing to my delicate palate   I'm the same way with Thai basil and lemongrass, though I love Thai food.

^Aww Hedo... no lemongrass either?? Cilantro and lemongrass are some of the lightest, most refreshing herbs to me. Different strokes for different folks though

I'm not a big fan of them either, but saute them up in a skillet where they're good and crispy and I'll eat them. They lose most, if not all, of their nutritional value then, but they taste delicious.

I recently learned about the cilantro aversion too. Crazy that some people have that. One of my friends thinks it tastes like soap. I thought he was just crazy at first.

Yes, soapy!  I only know because I once had to "wash out my mouth with soap" when I was a kid

My buds are fine, bud

DK, I know what that's from, but it just looks...wrong.

dankind

Better?

hedonist

Oh, much.

I can handle looking at it, but not the taste.

(that's what she said!)

And for some reason, you got that damned food song from Oliver! in my head.

“Shut up! And drink your gin!”

Weirdest bar of soap I've ever seen.

It does taste soapy.  No doubt about that.
