On the topic of weird flavored desserts, I've had Ouzo flavored Turkish delights, and goddamn it was amazing.

Skratte posted:Question for the thread, since I wanna keep expanding my veggies options: what the hell do eggplants taste like? I've been avoiding them for years because I hate summer squashes so much, and I was worried that they'd taste similar. If they do not I should pick one up and give it a go Well, Eggplant tastes pretty similar to zucchini, as a general rule. However, let's say you sautee both of them plain, in just a few drops of oil. Zucchini will take on a 'greener' flavor, like a fresh green bean. Eggplant takes on a slightly more earthy, buttery note. That's why you see it used as a substitute for meat in eggplant parm, and turned into a hearty dip/spread in babaganoush. It has a vegetal, but almost brown buttery flavor to it depending on how it's prepared that Zucchini never really takes on. e: I'm also kinda weirding out over the person who said the 'smell of cream corn' got to them. I'd love to know what happened there, because, cream corn is literally corn cut off the cob mixed with cream and butter, salt and pepper. It shouldn't 'smell' like anything, really. I mean, if you eat corn on the cob and put butter on it you're like 2 steps away from cream corn. Big Beef City fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Aug 17, 2020 |

I don't know what eggplant tastes like because 100% of my eggplant consumption is baba ghanoush or eggplant parm and it's lost in a sea of other flavors.

They probably mean canned creamed corn, which is just corn, modified corn starch, water, and salt. When the can gets pressure cooked small amounts of compounds like dimethyl sulfide are produced, which smells like overcooked cabbage or pumpkin. Some people are more sensitive to it than others. edit: I don't think not liking cream-style corn is weird - it's a food product that only exists to allow the packers to salvage the kernels that get smooshed up in processing.

I skipped the last three pages just to comment: "cilantro, roast green peppers and good olive oil." This sounds so good. Just ordered a single bottle. To contribute, there was vanilla ice cream discussion a few pages back. Vanilla ice cream demands berries. Huckleberries if you can get them, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry etc are all okay too. A good vanilla + berries is an absolute flavor explosion. Also, I used to hate cilantro. Could not stand the heady flavor. Would not eat pesto at all. I gave it a second and third try though and now enjoy it. Beyond allergies, if you aren't willing to re-try foods you "don't like" occasionally; like two years, five years, ten years later, you are seriously limiting your flavor experience in this lifetime.

Pyrotoad posted:My grandmother has a severe IBS related intolerance to all alliums, she hates it. Whenever we go out to dinner with her she'll take ages trying to find something without any in before giving up and accepting she's gonna have a terrible stomach later. Not having garlic or onion isn't worth it. Yeah allium allergies suck. I wouldnt wish that on anyone. Fun story about missing out due to pickiness: I was travelling with a friend in Ghana and some friends of his met us there. They were from Central Ohio and were very much "white bread" types. While I was waking up at 5AM to buy fish right off the boat to get grilled up with fresh veggies and eggs, my friend had to get a moto taxi for his Ohioan visitors so they could get fast food from the nearest city centre. All the food was local, fresh, inexpensive and delicious. We had rented a hut on the beach for like $15usd a night. The Ohio people lasted 2 nights before requesting to be brought to a modern hotel with AC and a KFC across the street, claiming that they "didnt like onions" and that it was "too hot to sleep". I said bye to my friend and met him in England two weeks later.

The_Continental posted:Do you know why hoppy and/or unfiltered beers make me sneeze. do you have seasonal allergies? apparently, hops is similar to ragweed or pollen or something i can’t remember now. i’ve never been a big enough beer drinker to notice problems from it, but hops tea will stuff me up and give me a scratchy throat. it’s in the cannabis family, so you might also be allergic to weed. if so, avoid hemp seeds. my allergist studies weed allergies, and he said that smoking likely won’t do more than stuff me up, but gave me an epi pen and told me to avoid hemp seeds, as the worst allergens are found in the protein.

Cottage cheese used to make me puke, but if I cover it in black pepper or add peaches I'm fine. Pimento cheese used to be gross to me. I made myself like olives and can handle anchovies.

This is something that bothered/intrigued me about the people in this thread who talk about people who wont drink water. Do they only drink juice/soda etc? The amount of sugar that they must ingest would be amazing. (Beer/wine and most alcoholic drinks also contain fucktonnes of sugar.) Although I suppose they could be living entirely off of milk, but that has it's health downsides too. Also, what about the convenience of when one is feeling a little dehydrated of just having a glass of tap water. Or when it's hot having a glass of ice cold water from the fridge. (In summer I like to keep my old plastic bottles, fill them up with tap water and chuck them in the fridge for when I might need a cold drink.) Then there is the cost. Someone somewhere told me it was healthy to drink a lot of water, so I go through a litre, maybe a litre and a half of water a day. If you're buying 500ml bottles of coke, that's close to $10 a day just to drink. Which adds up in terms of cost. Of course I am not suggesting only drinking from the tap, that would be silly, but if you are avoiding water just because it isn't giving you a party in your mouth with every sip, then you are doing yourself a whole lot of damage.

I wonder if people who get on the "don't be a picky eater" high-horse realize that parents can seriously damage their children by making them eat poorly prepared foods that they aren't interested in eating, and also by forcing portion sizes upon their poor babies that are inappropriate? I still occasionally throw my elderly, broken down, practically dead parents shade for having forced me to eat adult-sized portions of crudely boiled cruciferous vegetables until I got big enough to say "come and make me." I can honestly say there's nothing one could ever do that would get me interested in broccoli or cauliflower. I can only stand cabbage if it's in a stir-fry or maybe kimchi. Green beans can eat a dick. I like raw carrots but if you cook them you can lick my balls. Don't force your kids to eat stuff.

anglo anthropologists go to the four corners of the world and note the inhabitants strong interest in food as part of what makes them special when what is really special is the anglo-american cultures uniquely dipshit attitude towards food, from rank incompetence in cooking on. chicken nugget disease is a culture specific disease to anglo-americans
