Coriander

[krystal]

That's not scrambled eggs, that's egg curry!

It's called Rumble Tumble. An Anglo -Indian version of scrambled eggs.

Egg curry is hard boiled eggs in a curry sauce.

Egg curry is hard boiled eggs in a curry sauce.

And scrambled eggs is eggs, scrambled.

It has its place and uses.

But it's definitely NOT something I want to taste on its own. Only as a part of a whole. Like cumin, which I also think is vile on its own.

bleugh

i dont like it, its soapy

i can tolerate it in small amounts but sometimes the flavour of it is just too much and it spoils whatever im eating

im just talking about the plants bits though not the dried seeds as they are ok

 

[danny la rouge]

not the dried seeds as they are ok

Correct!

 

[Detroit City]

fresh coriander is good in indian style omelets. bascially its a regular omelet but it has indian spices in it and is fried up in a lot of oil.

 

[Cakes]

I used to live with someone who reckoned it tastes like the smell of armpits! Could never understand her cross-senses thing.
Love the stuff myself.

Did she mean cumin? that smells just like bo weirdly

 

[dodgepot]

coriander is lovely.

 

[Nixon]

I must say I really don't like this stuff at all..

 

[mitochondria]

Vile stuff. To me it tastes soapy, like washing up liquid. Definitely tastes poisonous and like my body doesn't want it, it makes me gag and there's not many 'foodstuffs' that do that.

^^ this

soapy, inedible stuff. I cannot forget how vile it tastes since one guy in mexican taqueria stuffed a handful of freshly chopped leaves in my burrito. Nearly puked, then.

And I am a smoker liking all other herbs

Coriander is a lot like olives; some people love the taste, and some are forever destined to remain with underdeveloped childish tastebuds, condemned to a diet of pallid and watery mush, squash and nursery mash.

There was a study which found that it was a lack of certain sex hormones that meant some people would never enjoy the taste of gin and tonic, olives, coriander, anchovies, etc. I read about it on the hinterweb. It's essentially a disability that you have genetically inherited from your parents, and the best and kindest thing is to make sure you don't breed, and resist passing on this affliction to any poor potential kidlets you might somehow miraculously manage to spawn.

(((Grown-up tongues))))

 

[danny la rouge]

You misread that. It said that while a love of olives, capers, gin and tonic and cabbage was the sign of an adult, a love of coriander was the sign of a dangerous sociopath.

Fred West loved coriander.

 

[tarannau]

Pish. All those Thai chefs and Orientals craving Coriander can't be wrong. A clean, pungent herb that goes well with pepper and citrus spice. You spice separatist, racialist.

Fred West clearly liked Parsley anyhow.

Coriander is a key ingredient in curry and Indian food. But putting it in a cheese sandwich is totally wrong!!
I wouldn't use it in salad either that's just weird.

 

[danny la rouge]

They are. They are very wrong. Thai food is nasty.

 

[sojourner]

Thai food is nasty.

Okay, that's done it.

*puts danny on ignore*





FREAK!!!

This sounds about right.

 

[danny la rouge]

Oh, come on! Thai food is basically coconut soup with fermented fish gunk and coriander. Who would like that?

Furthermore, sweet and sour anything is vile.

 

[sojourner]

lalalalaaaa


I can't hearrrr yoouuuuuuu

 

[danny la rouge]

Coconut and fish soup. Yeuccchhhh!

 

[Structaural]

I'm not a great lover of Thai food, because I prefer coconut in Bounty's and ice cream, but some if it is quite tasty.

 

[danny la rouge]

I don't go to Thai restaurants now, but when I've been dragged there in the past, what I got was basically sweet soup, whether you order soup or not. I'm a vegetarian, so maybe they particularly punish vegetarians with sweet soup. But that's not for me.

 

[Structaural]

I like the soup with mushrooms that is so hot, that by the time you've finished it you're sweating like the best man at a wedding.

 

[Miss Potter]

an evil taste, almost as bad as mustard

 

[danny la rouge]

an evil taste,

Yey!

almost as bad as mustard

Oh...you let yourself down. Mustard is a gift of the gods.

 

[Blagsta]

Coriander is one of the best tastes ever.

I tried to make lemon and coriander humus yesterday…………without a blender

Fuckloads of chickpeas all over the kitchen and a cut hand from trying to mash them with the potato masher
