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! :rofl:

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.

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.

I've heard several people say cilantro tastes like soap. The fuck is wrong with y'alls taste buds??!!??

My buds are fine, bud

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

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.

Weirdest bar of soap I've ever seen.

It does taste soapy.  No doubt about that.

Only to you defective types.
