Mariposa posted:The more thoroughly they're cooked, the less they bother me, but that's mostly a function of them losing flavor and some of that "crisp" vegetable quality that I find offputting. For the record, I have never seen them in lasagna, unless maybe they were hidden in some kind of mirepoix, by which point they have been reduced to mush and rendered harmless. I often use them in a mirepoix to add a subtle sweetness and fresh quality to the whole dish. Sometimes when I make lasagna, baked ziti, or other baked tomato casseroles, I will add bell peppers sliced thin and sweated with garlic, just to take out the snap. A lot of the vegetal flavor goes into the sauce and adds a nice freshness to the whole thing.

Mr. Wiggles posted:But.....but......a full breakfast.......... I KNOW. It's just sad that people are completely unwilling to even TASTE things, because they are squeamish. therattle posted:What's so hard for people to accept that some people just don't like certain foods? I think the issue is that lots of these "dislikes" are either just the product of a lack of exposure as a child, learned behaviour or an unwillingness to try things. For instance, a girl I know "dislikes" offal. Not because she's ever had it, but because her mother always told her not to eat it. I know other people who dislike "fish" because it's slimy. Which means that they have not actually tried a piece of properly cooked fish. These are not sensible behaviours, and can potentially be corrected. Now, the fact that I dislike peanut butter is nothing like that, because I have tried it multiple times in the various incarnations that are reputed to be the best, and I have not enjoyed the flavour or texture. It's not learned from my family, as my father loves peanut butter, and it's not an unwillingness to try, I simply don't like it.

As always, a fine line between dislike and allergy. I'm not sure if it's it really an allergy or what, but I can't digest green bell peppers properly. Any kind of spicy chili pepper is fine, but if I have some mild bell pepper, I get painful burps, and sometimes acid reflux. Raw are the worst; cooking them helps mitigate the ill effects a bit. Also, color doesn't matter much: yellow and red seem slightly easier for me to eat then green, but they still do the same thing. From the outside, this might look like a lovely excuse to not eat something that I dislike... Thing is, I loving love bell peppers! Delicious! In fact, they call to me... on occasion I will eat a greasy Italian sausage sandwich with onions and peppers, knowing full well that I'll be suffering for an hour or two. Worth it.

I am genuinely curious, do you know what the medical basis for this is? I would have thought that bell peppers and chili peppers were so closely related that if you were allergic to one, you'd be allergic to the other. Also, how come people can be allergic to nuts, including things that aren't actually nuts? Does anyone know why that is?

You generally eat way less of a hot pepper than you would a bell pepper. Also, tree nut allergies and peanut allergies are two different things, but some people have both. Add me to the anti bell pepper club. I won't flip the table over if someone serves me one, but I don't enjoy the flavor.

The only foods o don't lime I guess are the various cheddar or your cream/onion flavour potato chips but that's more to do with negative connotations from terrible car trips while a child.

Some foods can also legitimately taste different to different people, and you'll even get variance among different cultivars of the same vegetable. My case in point is that I can't eat grapefruit or drink tonic water. They're intolerably bitter to me, much like chewing on tylenol, including the "I can't rinse this flavour out of my mouth no matter how much water I drink" aspect. The funny thing is I actually like artificial grapefruit flavour and those tri-citrus marmalades that they sell in which the grapefruit has been processed so much that it doesn't taste like pesticide anymore. But the fruit or the juice is just a no-go. Now what's weird about this is I get the same flavour out of brussels sprouts too, so I avoid them, even though they're basically the same loving plant as broccoli, cabbage, and califlower, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea) which are my favourites.

I like red and will tolerate green/yellow when thoroughly cooked but don't really like them raw. I'm not mad on liquorice flavours either. I can't abide dill, cilantro, caraway, or almond essence/Amaretto flavour. I get to experience those inadvertently frequently enough to confirm that I just don't like them. My father doesn't like those things either.

Well. New York really seems to have answered the question: New York posted:Sandwiches include cold and hot sandwiches of every kind that are prepared and ready to be eaten, whether made on bread, on bagels, on rolls, in pitas, in wraps, or otherwise, and regardless of the filling or number of layers. A sandwich can be as simple as a buttered bagel or roll, or as elaborate as a six-foot, toasted submarine sandwich.

Part of why this is has to do with the aforementioned tavern license, which allows for wine/beer provided there is food on offer such as sandwiches, but costs substantially less than a full liquor or restaurant license.

When my buddy finally told Quiznos to go gently caress themselves, their numerous legal threats reminded him that he wasn't allowed to sell sandwiches. So he opened a pizza shop, and sold "wraps". Once the legal threats died down a little, he added this line to his wrap menu "All wraps now available on rolls."

Yay forums are back! Whoo! In other news, I've booked the ticket to New York for when this chemistry class is over, and will be wandering the Northeast while I'm up there until September, when I do the Major Trip to VA. Can't wait to see wrought, charmmi, etc etc. Puppy and I are going to hit up Montreal again (HI BEARS) once I get up there. Depending on the money situation, I'll either fly, or take the train. Apparently the train is absolutely beautiful views and other crap, but it takes freaking 12 hours to get there from Penn. Ugggggh.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:Burrito is in there. I don't disagree, but that means a taco is a sandwich too, right? Has to be. Under this construction it appears, for example, that a pizza is a sandwich. And thus we've managed to rule-lawyer our way into a definition that confounds rather than assists in communication; I suspect no individual has ever, absent external compulsion or personal mania, uttered the phrase, `Let's go get a sandwich,' meaning tacos.

SubG posted:Under that definition, apparently. I think if we allow that anything not structurally dependent on bread qualifies as a sandwich then we're walking the path to madness. I would say that a sandwich requires the bread to be ready made before sandwich construction begins. Therefore pizza is not a sandwich but a flatbread.

Like it's difficult to come up with some sort of structural argument in which a hamburger is not a sandwich, but if you ask someone if they want a sandwich and you give them a cheeseburger I think everyone involved is aware that there's some winning-a-bar-bet level assholery going on here.

Is that a sandwich? still think it's just a flatbread, but if you want it to be a minimalist sandwich sure. You can make a sandwich with naan though. Butter isn't really a sandwich filling. More of a condiment. I guess the real question is, is a condiment sandwich a sandwich?

They describe a bagel with cream cheese as a sandwhich so any bread with a thing on it is a sandwhich. It has lost all meaning. Bagel with cream cheese, sandwhich Bread with butter on it, sandwhich Naan with ghee clearly also sandwhich Chip with dip apparently sandwhich.

So are you saying a bagel with cream cheese which is a sandwhich is a sandwhich but the same bagel with butter would not be? The whole enterprise is goobery.
