Undertoad · 03-21-2011, 04:38 PM

green pepper
raw onion
cumin
grapefruit

Happy Monkey · 03-21-2011, 04:46 PM

seafood (mostly the smell, but taste and smell are extremely intertwined)
green pepper (agreed)
raw onion (agreed)
vinegar
raw tomato (this time, mostly the texture)

Those last four make me extremely picky about salads.

Comes up in sushi. Salmon eggs, too.

I'm just more adventurous than Pete is. Edible things rather seem to outnumber inedible things, as the late Ewell Gibbons taught us. If you're lost in the mountainous pine woods in early spring, you can probably make it out of there eating the just-emergent new tender pine needles right off the tree. Also prevents scurvy, if you're, uh, really really lost. Those and the hearts of cattails, which probably don't taste like all that much but would fill your stomach with something digestible and in some degree nutritious. (So never be without your knife to get at them.)

I can see where some people think cilantro tastes like soap, but it just doesn't go far enough in that direction to read like soap to me.

Some of you guys have the oddest dislikes. Avocado?! Couple months ago I had me the best avocado I've ever dug a spoon into: slowly slowly paperbag-ripened -- I was wondering if it ever would ripen -- until it had the slight yielding of the ripe avocado but not the squashiness of a 'cado past its peak. (Discolored avocados have lost it. Not much fun there.)

Halved, pitted, and lightly salted, it was so fresh and creamy -- it was like eating Gardevoir pussy. (Or the Firefly episode with the fresh strawberries.)

Cumin?! Good Lord. Without cumin, chili simply... isn't. And it puts depth in curry powders too -- which are at their peak made up and ground up the day they are used. It's good curry when you and the wife have been to an Indian restaurant, then make love that night, and the whole bedroom smells of curry in the morning.

Right back atcha, Toad. Goose sauce, gander sauce. Consider a philosophical question: since when are forums ever an opportunity to shut up?

Anise cookies are quite all right. Wouldn't want to overdo the anise or it would be like a cross between cheap liquorice -- the molasses-y Australian and Scandinavian liquorices are much better -- and Buckley's Mixture.

Snails -- hey, butter and garlic. Good eatin'. And one experience the unadventurous, I guess, shall never know.

Yeah actually I was wondering why you said that UT, and only put a few words which were sure to be taken out of context in the quote by the anti UG crowd.

If there's any forum on this site where UG actually does normally speak with knowledge and skill I'd say it's this one. Certainly in politics and sometimes current events his views might sometimes cause that sort of reaction, but surely not the food forum?

seafood/fish
canned spinach
canned asparagus
avocado, unless prepared in my SIL's guacamole recipe - but only her recipe
mushrooms

And that pretty much covers it.
