Coriander only tastes like bleach/soap when it is off

Coriander tastes like bleach all the time, and it's delicious.

coriander/cilantro tasting like soap is an enzyme thing in some ppl

Rubyredd, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:14 (fifteen years ago) link

y'all. coriander/cilantro is a godsend. deal with it, k?

tehresa, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:18 (fifteen years ago) link

omg I love cilantro. Cilantro haters = crazeeee. Welcome to the US RR. Sounds like everything is going wonderfully so far. So very happy for you.

ENBB, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:20 (fifteen years ago) link

just sample my first twinkie. pretty average :(

Rubyredd, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:16 (fifteen years ago) link

jergins, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:20 (fifteen years ago) link

YES WHAT CURT1S SAID

BLACK BEYONCE, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:27 (fifteen years ago) link

also i think that the cilantro divide is actually how jesus knows which ones of us to rapture in the end times, so you pagan cilantro haters better start some sort of tongue scrape and hormonal treatment routine yo

BLACK BEYONCE, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:29 (fifteen years ago) link

pffft, if Jesus wants me to eat cilantro, Jesus can eat ...well, cilantro, because it may as well be shit.

Finefinemusic, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:34 (fifteen years ago) link

Funfact: when I was a kid, I thought the smell of cilantro was the smell of rabies, because I once saw a dead bird on the driveway of my neighbours' house and (I assume) they had a cilantro patch growing in their garden. I smelled it and assumed the bird died of rabies and that's the smell of rabies. It took me 18 years to figure out that it was cilantro!

WWJE?

BB remember the multiple years when we lived on Nutty Bars? good times

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:36 (fifteen years ago) link

i wish i'd gotten the hostess cupcakes instead :( the pig fat cream in the middle of the twinkie is pretty good, but i don't like how the sponge stuff tastes kind of salty.

Rubyredd, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:48 (fifteen years ago) link

xp Dan, I think John is still in the middle of those years.

Mmmmmm hostess cupcakes. WANT

Sara R-C, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:17 (fifteen years ago) link

Swiss Cake Rolls are the king

El Tomboto, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:19 (fifteen years ago) link

My husband will eat those Little Debbie ones every day if I don't make fun of him about it.

Sara R-C, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:21 (fifteen years ago) link

wait there are only 100 calories in nutty bars??????????????

So I could eat like 20 of them and be fine for the day!!!!!!!!!

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:21 (fifteen years ago) link

omg start crunch! i am feeling nostalgic now but i used to get so pissed cause my mom would always buy those instead of something awesome like nutty bars (i think they seemed somehow less bad to her?). they were so freaking sweet and almost molassesy?

tehresa, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:42 (fifteen years ago) link

when I was a kid, I thought the smell of cilantro was the smell of rabies,

Youu think Jesus is gonna buy this shit?

wanko ergo sum, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:01 (fifteen years ago) link

xpost Eat 20 nutty bars, but don't forget to take a multivitamin or otherwise it's probably Scurvy-land for you, too. And if I had to call you and John both "Scurvy," that would just be confusing.

Sara R-C, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:08 (fifteen years ago) link

Maybe you could call me "Rickets"; it wouldn't be accurate but it would be less confusing.

All of this talk of nutritional diseases is reminding me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgayZqbc6Xo&feature=related

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:20 (fifteen years ago) link

I'd like to call you "Beriberi," if at all possible. It would make you sound like a dessert topping.

Sara R-C, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:41 (fifteen years ago) link

Somehow I think Dan is fine with that idea.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:44 (fifteen years ago) link

esp. since I am already a dessert topping

HI DERE, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:45 (fifteen years ago) link

You're probably not going to like the part where I start marketing you that way is all.

Sara R-C, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:46 (fifteen years ago) link

hostess cupcakes = A++++++ would eat again. best hostess product consumed so far.

root beer = jesus fucking christ this is the foulest stuff EVER. for some reason i was expecting it to taste like gingerbeer, but i was completely wrong.

butterfinger = A+
nestle buncha crunch = average, maybe even slightly below average. would not eat again.

Rubyredd, Monday, 21 July 2008 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link

Butterfinger = junk food of the GODS

HI DERE, Monday, 21 July 2008 16:34 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah butterfinger is pretty much gold

also RR, if you havent worked it out yet:

US Milky Way = AUS/NZ Mars Bar
US 3 Musketeers = AUS/NZ Milky Way

ginger beer is better than root beer, but the quality of the latter can vary widely. if you get over the initial objection, you might find you like the good stuff.

gabbneb, Monday, 21 July 2008 17:11 (fifteen years ago) link

no, jordan got me a good brand, it really is just that root beer flavour i hate. even the smell of it grosses me out. it reminds me of cough syrup or something.

Rubyredd, Monday, 21 July 2008 17:14 (fifteen years ago) link

YOU GUYS

I FOUND REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP KLONDIKE BARS IN THE GROCERY STORE

FUCKING SWOON

HI DERE, Monday, 21 July 2008 17:16 (fifteen years ago) link

ho hos: awesome

Rubyredd, Thursday, 24 July 2008 02:48 (fifteen years ago) link

You should do a side by side taste test with Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls! I can't have those in the house due to mindlessly eating entire boxes. They don't exactly taste like chocolate, though they sort of look like it.

I need to know from HI DERE - were the peanut butter cups in the ice cream or smashed into the exterior chocolate coating??? OR (OMG) BOTH??!!

Jaq, Thursday, 24 July 2008 02:54 (fifteen years ago) link

It was peanut butter ice cream with a chocolate coating that I think had bits of peanut butter cups crushed into it (I was really too busy swooning from the PB ice cream to do a proper inventory).

HI DERE, Thursday, 24 July 2008 11:29 (fifteen years ago) link

i would love that.

estela, Thursday, 24 July 2008 12:02 (fifteen years ago) link

root beer = jesus fucking christ this is the foulest stuff EVER.

Also to avoid: vanilla creme soda and (shudder) red creme soda.

libcrypt, Thursday, 24 July 2008 12:48 (fifteen years ago) link

ewww wtf is red cream soda?!

try: dr. brown's cel-ray soda.

tehresa, Thursday, 24 July 2008 12:50 (fifteen years ago) link

Early reviews of Reese's Klondike have been positive.

Also, some versions of RCS appear to be "bubblegum-flavored".

libcrypt, Thursday, 24 July 2008 13:01 (fifteen years ago) link

ewww wtf is red cream soda?!

Teh, you claim ignorance, yet you spelled it correctly....

libcrypt, Thursday, 24 July 2008 13:04 (fifteen years ago) link

red cream soda is fucking awesome, wtf

HI DERE, Thursday, 24 July 2008 13:26 (fifteen years ago) link

possibly the only things I miss from MN more than rcs are family and friends

HI DERE, Thursday, 24 July 2008 13:26 (fifteen years ago) link

red cream soda is fucking awesome, wtf

-- HI DERE, Thursday, July 24, 2008 8:26 AM (38 minutes ago) Bookmark Link

right again.

even better - brown cream soda (although maybe this isnt in USA?)

sunny successor, Thursday, 24 July 2008 14:08 (fifteen years ago) link

RR, im interested to hear your opinion of dr pepper because to me that tastes like cough syrup too

sunny successor, Thursday, 24 July 2008 14:10 (fifteen years ago) link

it makes me think of drinking cotton candy.

tehresa, Thursday, 24 July 2008 14:12 (fifteen years ago) link

thing to try you may have difficulty finding in ca: CHEERWINE.
