Mushika posted:Before this post, I had never heard of cilantro pesto at all. It's definitely not traditional, or even common, and I say that as someone who loves cilantro and pesto. I think I've heard of spinach based pesto, but I have never personally had nor known anyone to ever have a pesto made from any other leafy herb than basil. I mean, I'd try it, but it wouldn't really be pesto. I meant to reply to this earlier. I am the exact opposite. I have never heard of pesto made with anything other than cilantro. Worlds are colliding here. Google search shows me there are things to learn and discover, and I thank you for this insight.

I can’t imagine Pesto made with cilantro. I’ve only ever heard of it made With basil. Must be a completely different taste with cilantro but I’m open to it I guess. No good homemade guacamole recipe is complete without cilantro. That is a hill I’m willing to die on.

I wonder how many people actually have the 'cilantro tastes like soap' gene, or how many people taste it as is, and just aren't expecting "strong, very vibrant herb flavor" and just say "nope, that's me, that's soap I'm one of 'em". I mean, on its own, it IS a strong tasting herb, like grabbing a hunk of parsley and basil together and eating it plain mixed together, strong. Still, douse my mexican and asian dishes with it, please. And, for those afflicted, if it's way stronger than that, like actually eating a whole bar of irish spring or something, that truly would blow. Instead, just eat the flat leaf parsley and wrap it in a fresh basil leaf like I mentioned, and pretend, I'd rather do that I think, then have mexican style tacos without that kind of flavor profile imo. e: I've had and previously heard of cilantro pesto, but it's by no means the norm. That's weird that someone would be in an area where they'd not heard of basil-based pesto. Kinda wondering where that is that it became standard, it's interesting.

I don't get people who make a fuss when at a like party where food is provided or someone cooks for you, I'd just eat whatever for fear of being rude Like, I'm annoyed the donair shop got my order wrong and put pickles and olives on my donair when I only asked for cucmber, lettuce and tomato, but nobody can see me take the pickles out. I'm at somebody's house and they made stuff with pickles in, I'm eating the pickles

Cilantro is a perfect example of the thread title; it can be so overwhelming that people get weird about it. That was me for years. Love that poo poo now though. In Pesto, I'm kinda stunned that there are options. Some basil, sure... but drat pesto is made from cilantro isn't it? Turns out there are some pesto options I never knew of or had. I grew up bay area northern California, a pretty diverse place, and now in north Idaho, not very diverse at all. Maybe cilantro pesto is a west coast thing? I don't know. It's all I've ever known of pesto, and thanks to thread, I get to explore new taste sensations in the future.

brotato posted:I'm jealous of people who can taste cilantro There are different plants all under the coriander name, and some of them are less soap tasting than others. When normal coriander starts to shoot because of the weather, even though I love the taste normally I can taste soap. Sawtooth coriander is much hardier, easier to grow and tastes great. If you're ok with picking leaves off of plants at a nursery, you could go try other varieties to see if it's all types or just the common type that tastes bad.

Maybe a digression is what this thread needs so tendie crew gets a breather. Another way people are weird about food is to be food snobs for dumb reasons. Lots of good American foods are very underrated basically because of classism. I don't know how it is in other lands, feel free to jump in. American cheese is good. I don't eat the individually wrapped singles much but if you're going to melt them it's fine, just admit you like melted Kraft Singles. I really like American cheese that I get at the deli, melted or not. I think the packaged "deluxe" style American cheese that isn't individually wrapped is pretty similar to that if you don't have delis with bulk cheese. It's as good as any fresh-style cheese, they're all bland and taste basically like milk. That's what they're supposed to taste like. I'm actually not a big fan of Velveeta because it's too goddamn salty. Yellow mustard is good. It smells good. It tastes good. Its nice clean acidic flavor is a very nice foil to the richness of a hot dog. It's useful in cooking. The turmeric gives it a nice bright color and a flavor that is pretty unique. On burgers, the combo of ketchup and yellow mustard is iconic. I like Dutch or Dusseldorf style on a burger with just onions and pickles, but if it's got tomato, lettuce, and ketchup it will get French's. Hershey's chocolate is good. Milk chocolate itself is good and Hershey's is one of the better ones. Everybody screams about how they love complex flavors. Well, the ever-so-slight butyric tang of Hershey's milk chocolate is complex as hell, and I think milk chocolate without it tastes bland and sugary in comparison. No, it does not taste like vomit. No more than blue mold cheeses or Parmigiano do - and since those can be acquired tastes maybe that's the issue. My only complaint about Hershey's is that it dries out fairly quickly so maybe if you don't like it you got some old chocolate. Hershey's Kisses dry out about ten minutes after they're made. Iceberg lettuce is good. You cannot beat that sweet crunch. Yes, you should also eat other salad greens too, and iceberg gives great contrast in texture and flavor mixed with soft and bitter leaves. I don't see anyone crapping on melons which are even worse but mention iceberg and you always get IT'S JUST SUGAR AND WATER. What's wrong with that as long as you don't try to live on it?

Pestochat: I’ve never had cilantro pesto and it seems so obvious to do so now. I do like the traditional basil but I have also had pesto made from carrot greens and it was way better than I expected it to be. On topic, once I volunteered to cook dinner at a friend’s house and the only seasonings in their pantry were salt, pepper, and dry minced onion. And then I was told his brother didn’t like onions. How the gently caress do people live like that? It’s sad. It made me sad.

I do like Hershey's milk chocolate a whole lot better than European style milk chocolate which is definitely too sweet for my taste. I'll take dark chocolate over both most of the time though. Also yellow mustard is very good on a hot dog. I like the extra vinegary flavor of it and I think it cuts through the greasy hot dog taste quite nicely.

Internetjack posted:I meant to reply to this earlier. I used to make a pesto with walnuts and cilantro. Its a lot more cost effective than basil and pine nuts. Plus the walnuts give it a really appealing buttery richness. edit: I am also 100% one of those people to which cilantro tastes like a bar of dove. I've adjusted over time and can eat it along with other flavors, especially in something fatty or rich. But on its own its soap city.

If you are an angry Italian person, pesto genovese is basil, pine nuts, garlic, salt, parmesan and olive oil, and NOTHING ELSE  If you are not an Italian purist, then pesto is a condiment made from some kind of nuts or seeds, herbs, oil and whatever. It's all good

I make pesto with coriander (cilantro) regularly because I prefer it to basil pesto and use it in dishes where I wouldn't want a strong basil flavour. You can make all kinds of really delicious pesto really easily. Other good ones to try: spinach and walnut, kale, mint and lime, sun-dried tomato, and beetroot pestos. I know a purist is going to come yell at me about the definition of pesto but others are good

You know what else has that intense butyric acid smell, like way more than hershey's, but I never see people complaining about it? Cheerios cereal. I can't even open a box of that stuff anymore, you open it and just this vomit smell comes wafting out. It smells of vom and coffee piss. The coffee piss smell I could forgive, it just smells like brown sugar, it's inoffensive but drat if it isn't uncanny. Every last flavor has that butryic smell. Are they adding it?

There's nothing smashed together about anything. It's just a big version of a big mac. The video the American tourists that went to McDonalds in Japan to buy bigger versions of burgers they could buy at home made was very clear about this.

American Cheese is an excellent melting cheese and a great "neutral" cheese to go with a burger. I do think in general American cuisine is perceived as lower brow globally (except steak) because much of it is so pervasively available on a cheap budget that theres no gatekeeping with it. That said every country I've had Cajun/Creole food in outside of the states makes an absolute toddering mess off the whole thing. Further related, the best french food is vietnamese. The White Dragon posted:im sorry i misspoke. it's called giga big mac, and it's only three big macs smashed together. you can't expect me to remember all these foreign food names Thats a standard item, they just don't sell in America (iirc). Related, the US got the Mini Mac and Grand Big Mac about ~2 years after the rest of the world because McDonald's likes using Europe as its test kitchen.
