I saw the maple syrup and went “motherf**ker wasn’t kidding when he called it breakfast salsa”
Q: do you have the genetic phenotype that makes cilantro taste like soap to you? I live with someone that does. You rapidly discover how much that stuff gets shoehorned into everything.
Although I did work with a tech-bro who was really into bio-hacking food and he claimed he had the phenotype that prevented his piss from smelling after he ate asparagus.
I’m curious to a fault, but I never followed him into the bathroom to validate that claim.
I do. It tastes like what I imagine biting a bar of Irish Spring would taste like. No clue how people like it. My wife says it tastes fresh and herby, but it definitely does not.
Normal cilantro doesn’t taste like soap to me but when we went to a vietnamese restaurant, something that looked like cilantro did infact taste like soap. I found one reddit thread about that but it looks like I’ll have to go back and see if it tastes like soap again
I am honestly so hyped you reversed your “never will” stance. An absence of culinary adventurous spirit saddens me. I see it in my mom’s generation.
But yeah, everything tasting like peanut butter certainly isn’t a bad thing, since it’s delicious, but for eggs my favorite way was to include it in a breakfast burrito. Peanut butter the tortilla, then put the filling in and it functions in a manner similar to sour cream. Allowing the natural heat of the eggs to melt the peanut butter into more of a sauce ala hollandaise allows it to pair well and accent. It helped I was using unsweetened peanut butter with just salt, and I actually found sunflower seed butter even more enjoyable. It could work similarly in a breakfast sandwich approach.
But this was back when I ate plants, haha. But peanut flavor compliments savory so well. It’s why we have thai food.
I’m a total liar. I will try almost anything once. Lol. I have a friend who regularly makes me try things that I don’t want to. I usually end up liking them.
They’re divine, haha. Because peanut butter ALSO pairs well with cheddar cheese, which goes great on a gringo breakfast burrito. Oh, and of course peanut butter and bacon are classic, as Elvis taught us all.
I am 53 years old. I’m smart enough to know the types of stuff I like at this point. No, I don’t want a taste of whatever that is my wife is eating. I like what I ordered.
For me, it’s less about learning if I’m going to like something and more about learning about what/how other people enjoy things. Similar to why I read philosophy. I know what and how I think, but I like learning about others.
