Cilantro,Capers and Coves...

[MC Moot]

I hate them all....especially when you're not expecting them,like whole cloves in a lovely curry,capers in a salad,or a huge wedge of cilantro destroying that vietnamese sub....blahhh! What spice or herb is uncompatible with you?

[jabumbo]

lots of cilantro bugs me


this mexican restaurant here that i always go too puts loads of it in their salsa and i can't take it. its starting to bug me since i eat there so much, and it seems like it gets worse each time

It's true! Yeah,I forgot about it in salsa...it seems like that's supposed to be a sign of "authenticity" in salsa...but I suspect California is to blame!

I could eat capers til the cows come home because im a salt freak

cloves and cilantro can such it though

i had to look up cilantro...

the rest of the world calls it coriander

i love coriander, it seems to be a love/hate thing

i put coriander in stir fries
and also use it in salad dressing when i'm eating mexican food + salad


capers i hate!
cloves are fine as long as i don't bite on one :)

trick,I never realized cilantro and coriander were one and the same:p ....it's also sold in the grocers here as "Italian" or "Chinese" parsley.....yes,biting into a whole clove is nasty! But the flavor cloves add can be nice,say like in a hot toddy or sangria....

Cilantro is great stuff; I'm sorry you're all writhing in lakes of wrongness.


Cloves, I don't dig. Whether it's sangria or cigarettes, cloves are just wrong. And, as teeth/gums healing meds, yuk. I'll stick with the stiff iron taste of dried blood, thank you.

Shaved coconut can also go to hell. The real thing -- ? Just eating coconut fresh? Oh, heck yeah. (y)

Ah hah! I was just talking to a colleague about coconut!...unless in a cream pie or chinese pastry it's foul....especially those shavings....but coconut milk,in your rice or as a base for curries,mmmm......I'm not writhing I'm swiming laps!

[hellojello]

I don't know what Cilantro is, I'm not into cloves AT ALL, but capers, they're awesome! At first I thought I hated them because even though I love pretty much everything pickled (middle eastern food rocks) - pickled turnip is my fav.
anyways I thought I'd try some someone had, so I took some but they were fucking HOT as , as in chilli hot...and I was like omg I"m never eating them again..because I hate chilli.
But last christmas we had this salmon thing with this sauce that had capers in it so I got to try some 'normal' ones and I thought they were pretty much the bees knees.
MMMM I could go a xmas ham/turkey caper and lettuce sandwich right now actually.
What I really HATE in food, unless it's cereal or a cake, is SULTANAS. Why do some people put them in salads and rice and stuff?! It's just wrong.

I should have read this before posting. I hate corriander too! IT's awful and I'm not a fan of ginger either which is why I hate Thai food. They seem to use those combinations a lot.
And don't get my wrong I love my vietnamese pork rolls but lay off the corriander thanksverymuch.

I hate it when they mix them in with green salads!.....cilantro tastes like sharp soap to me......actually I think fruit and vegetables should be kept seperate in salads....unless it's tomato.....and no fruit on pizza either!

[hellojello]

pineapple on pizza is soo the antichrist.
I'm with you there.
Oh yeah I hate anything that's has the 'sweet and sour' combination too (considering that usually includes pinapple or something of the sort).
Yeah I'm not that big on easten asian food can you tell.
And I hate it when people put apple in coleslaw. What's with that.
Fucking freaks.

yes! Like sweet and sour pork from the chinese take out that comes in that dayglo red sauce....we should take those folks who add apple or raisins to coleslaw and we should....well......maybe would could send them all to an island....yeah...that's it! Like a BIG island,the size of a continent...i heard such a place exists....;)
