cilantro sucks shit - stop cooking with it

[Himu]

CG, the resident cook extraordinaire is with me.

What now, fuckers?

[pickle]

What is everyone's opinion on pesto? I think the taste is minimal and it just makes everything look like it's covered in snot.

 

How on earth does pesto look like snot?

Really?

Looks like someone just sneezed all over this food

Again, that's not what snot looks like unless you happen to be a cartoon character.



This is what snot looks like.

I don't really even know what cilantro is. I used to know at some point but forgot

[fistfulofmetal]

Fistful, have you ever had Chevy's salsa?  Cilantro bombs up in that bitch

dunno what that is.

That restaurant. If you've been there and ate their salsa, you've eaten mass amounts of cilantro.

[fistfulofmetal]

never heard of that restaurant.

this entire thread confuses me!

[Barry Egan]

Fuck cilantro.  It's the one ingredient I won't even touch - I've NEVER used it in my cooking.  It's quite possibly my kryptonite.

game changer

[CrystalGemini]

cilantro haters can gimme fellatio

I see what you did there.

[Don Flamenco]

What now, fuckers?

we established a biological reason for the differences in opinion about cilantro!   

so...now we must exterminate the cilantro haters and clean up the gene pool.

[chronovore]

Lots of people HATE freedom as well!

Fixed.

[tiesto]

They have one in Times Square. For chain Mexican, you could definitely do worse.

[Positive Touch]

Also, I've made a pesto out of cilantro instead of basil before. Why? Because fuck you that's why.

YES

Read the title as something approximating "sucking clit is shit"

Have no idea what cilantro is, then i googled it and found out it is coriander.

You people give things weird names

hows that taste in comparison

It's definitely stronger in taste but not bad. Just tastes super fresh and nutty - think I used roasted hazelnuts with mine. It was good, would do again.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Cilantro has always tasted like soap to me.  Never liked it, never will.

[Van Cruncheon]

cilantro is flavor syphilis, and yet i like coriander

[recursivelyenumerable]

Things like being careful with your coriander - that's what makes the gravy grander

[Human Snorenado]

You people are mouthbreating philistine fucktards; a little bit of cilantro livens up most dishes it's commonly used in, especially any salsa.  I'm seriously considering changing the order of "People who are going up against the wall when the Revolution comes" to 1. People who hate cilantro instead of 1. Anyone who works on Wall St.

[Himu]

The problem is most people use way too much cilantro. The thing with cilantro is that it sucks the taste out of ANYTHING it is in. Have a great burrito covered in cilantro? Now you have a burrito that tastes like nothing but cilantro. Cilantro ruins more meals and dishes than what it helps. Shit, shit, shit.

[lennedsay]

Too much garlic can ruin a dish. Too much salt can ruin a dish. Too much pepper can ruin a dish. Doesn't mean the spice sucks.

You guys are herb racists.

[Himu]

Garlic, salt, and pepper don't smell like detergent.

[Phoenix Dark]

maybe you use too much? I only put a tad in alongside other spices.

and Len is wrong. you can never have too much garlic

[Himu]

Well, my exposure to cilantro is when other people cook with it. I've never cooked with it myself. I've had bad experiences. The other day, the reason that I made this thread, was because my dad made some pasta noodles, and bought cilantro. I held my breath as I was washing it. He ended up putting the entire thing in the pot with the pasta along with the spinach (). 

[Human Snorenado]

As has been pointed out several times, you just have shitty anti-cilantro genes, Himu.  If it tastes/smells like soap to you, you're fucked in flavortown

[Phoenix Dark]

Let me guess Himu, your dad pours salt in everything he cooks. Maybe you should handle the spice in your relationship with your father

[Himu]

He says I season too little!

Hey!! KOTOR2, not SWTOR. Give me some credit!

[Human Snorenado]

I'll allow it.  Still though, you need to get on and farm rings with me and that other guy.

KOTOR2 was... well, it was a beautiful mess, like most Obsidian games.  Has it been fixed?

[Himu]

Yes, modders have restored about 100% game content and fixed all (or most) issues.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I'll allow it.  Still though, you need to get on and farm rings with me and that other guy.

KOTOR2 was... well, it was a beautiful mess, like most Obsidian games.  Has it been fixed?

Yes, there's a super fanpatch 6 years in the making and it works with the Steam install.
+ widescreen mod (16:9) and resolution mod (native 1920x1080)
+ cheating my way through all the tedious D20 combat on the PC version

Steam version was $2.50 earlier in the sale, so hey-o!

[Himu]

You can bypass d20 with a cheat?!

ANY cilantro is too much cilantro.  I can taste it.  Even if it was there and removed (ie accidentally put in), I can still taste the residue.  I don't mind if other people eat it, I just don't want it in my own food.

CRUD.  I'll have to pick it up when it hits the holiday sale.  Thanks for the info.  You're excused from key grinding for one whole week.

It works in some salsas for some reason and I don't mind it in there but that is it.

Sort of. The enemies still use D20... But me? I roll hundreds.

[Barry Egan]

starting to sound like the cultivated Bore elite are coming out decisively against cilantro.  Plebe-seasoning?  seems so. 

[lennedsay]

I'm with you, but I've heard people bitch about too much garlic. God damn, you'd love my cooking. Tons of fresh garlic in this bitch.

[Don Flamenco]

is coriander something different outside the U.S. or something? 

i live in the U.S., so it's cilantro seed to me :usahappy

my last girlfriend had a thing against garlic and onions...my first thought was that I couldn't marry someone who hates alliums. 

[Human Snorenado]

Hey turdburglars, guess what I'm having?  Freshly made guacamole WITH DELICIOUS FUCKING CILANTRO IN IT YOU ASSHOLES.

how does it feel to be on the wrong side of history, Triumph?

No it's the same (kinda) yet very different.

When someone says coriander it is assumed to be the seeds, but we say coriander leaves or coriander seeds to refer to either. Cilantro just doesnt exist as a word for us (and I assume most of the commonwealth/europe/asia apart from the 51st state of the United Kingdom) Charlie can confirm this.

[Human Snorenado]

Delicious, that's how

[G The Resurrected]

Cilantro is awesome when used properly.

It makes the freshest salsa taste better, and the guacamole explode in your mouth with herbaceous flavor. I chop it up and mix it into my egg frittatas with jalapenos and cheese. It also makes for one hell of a great herb butter with garlic. And unlike parsley, it has a well defined taste character to help bring up other flavors to the surface without harming the flavors.

In a television interview in 2002, Larry King asked Julia Child which foods she hated. She responded: “Cilantro I don’t like at all. It has kind of a dead taste to me.”

“So you would never order it?” Mr. King asked.

“Never,” she responded. “I would pick it out if I saw it and throw it on the floor.”

So that's me, CrystalGemini, and Julia Child on the side of the angels.

[Barry Egan]

yeeesssssssss.

Doesn't Himu negate Julia Child? It's like if you held a position on music that was shared by Soulja Boy and Bruce Springsteen
