I don't get people who won't eat onion. I do a lot of cooking and onion is in nearly everything I cook, it must be a bollox to find stuff without it.

Onion and garlic.

Lots and lots of garlic. Even when it's not required.

I feel sorry for people who have that problem with coriander. Or any food allergies.

I'm quite lucky I think because there is no food that I hate. There's stuff that I'm not a huge fan of and I wouldn't choose to put on my plate but if it's served to me, I'll eat it. Basically as long as it's cooked or served well, it gets eaten.

The only issue with food at the moment is that dinner has to meet the requirements of whatever fad diet the missus is on :mad:

I have four things I won't eat, sprouts, sweet corn, processed peas and cooked eggs (omelettes, scrambled, fried etc...). Everything else gets eaten, even if I'm not overly fond of it. Would pretty much give anything a go to see what it's like, sure you never know till you try. The GF has got me to eat some god awful **** lately in the name of gut health.

SOP for cooking something new:

-Check the recipe for how much garlic is required.
-Laugh and multiply it by 3.

Sprouts are something I wouldn't choose but if they're on my plate, I'll eat them (as long as there's gravy). The Irish seem to have a bit of a fetish for sweet corn. Sandwiches, salads and pizza. I'd never choose to have it but if it's already there then I'm not going to pick it out.

I could never understand people who refuse to even try something. How can people decide they don't like a food if they won't even try it.

Is there a more disgusting herb than corriander? I do not believe so.

So disappointing when you order food and after the first mouthful you just taste the devils herb.

Parsely, and the green part of celery, taste vile like that to me. I absolutely love coriander.

The only foods I can say I truly hate the taste of would be red onion (that's the one I can taste above everything else unless it's cooked and in with a lot of other flavours), eggs, melon, sprouts and fish (any and all fish I've ever tried). There's a few other things like broccoli that I don't enjoy. I'd hate to have that aversion to coriander. That's second only to basil for me herb wise.

Anyone who puts pineapple on a pizza is devil spawn.

irishbucsfan

Melon?! What did the melonfolk ever do to you?

irishbucsfan

You're all freaks

Never tried Melon on a pizza, is it nice?

A lovely hard boiled or poached or scrambled egg is hard to beat.

I'd question why you'd be trying to beat it after cooking it, surely you do that first?

I was having some friends over to dinner a couple years ago and was serving some bruschetta for starter (cause I'm fancy). I prepped everything for it but my girlfriend kindly offered to put it all together.

She took the bloody coriander out of the fridge instead of the basil. It was appalling.

You realise that I'm Irish and in my thirties right!? I had fish fingers every feckin' Friday night for my entire childhood!

They're the perfect definition of harmless. Too much personality to say that they are boring, not enough to say they are nice. Just this weird in-between that's just plain wrong.

In an old Roman coliseum for a rock concert. This feels right.

Listen to me. 'rock concert' like some oul lad.

Very sad to hear about Chris Bennington. Hybrid Theory was a fave in my earlier years.

Wish my missus would go on a diet.

"I'll have the crab claws to start, then the steak with chips and vegetables, oh and the tirimasu...and a bottle of red wine and an espresso"

Me.."can I get the bill?"...."€148?" *mumbling*..."I only had pasta and a beer...they must have made a mistake"

Collision Course that they done with Jay-Z was an absolute banger of an album too. Haven't checked in on Linkin Park since the early 00's but sad to hear.

Travelled through eastern Europe with friends a few years back. All meals, every food type, anything you consume... Coated in insane amounts of dill. Horrible, horrible herb. Completely pungent and overpowering. The more we stressed we didn't want any, the more layers they would coat onto our food

I like dill with my eggs benedict.

wp_rathead

Dill is vital for a fishermans pot

Also very sad to hear about Chester from Linkin Park, Hybrid Theory reminds me of my school days
Haven't listened to their newest album but Hunting Party had some great songs

I am awfully hungover today, this talk of food is not helping.
