    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.

    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!
