If the restaurants in my city are to be believed, the cuisine of every other country in the world is based around giant hunks of green pepper. —Big Neba

hahaha, brilliant, or giant chunks of red onion. green peppers repeat for hours if i eat them, belching wise
Lolololololol, nicely done. 2shay!!
Ugh, this is my biggest pet peeve. Green peppers are cheap and add ‘something’ to the dish so restaurants fill up on ’em.
Meanwhile they’re bitter as fuck and end up having to pick that shit out which is annoying as fuck.
Red peppers appear often too, and I can’t eat those either. I wish I could find a pepper-free dish in these parts 🙁
OB….you mean to tell us, Greenpeppers are not the basis of world cuisine !?!
Its nice to learn new things.
blech.
habenero ftw
Cheap cunts – cheaply made food – big chunks of cheap green pepper…
and don’t forget the garlic, and that other putrid shit from the east indian cooking.
the other shit i speak of, is of course that gross fucking curry crap. blech.
..in that same vein ..our local hospital has deemed the cafeteria worthy of the name..The Main St. Bistro..WTF..yea it’s just like a bistro cept for: the food;the drink;the ambience;and the staff..other than that it’s just like a real bistro yep
Winstons – since Klaus changed the menu is fucking vunderba – although I’m still sticking to wings washed down with Mr. Keiths frothy elixir
that’s funny marty, don’t bistros serve wine?
yea usually..they kinda frown upon medical staff from having drinks methinks though 🙂
Curry …the spice the British created so that the troops could be fed rancid meat & not realise it.
Life Sucks , I’m with you, I’d rather something hot & spicy, like Mexican or Korean as opposed to curried.
Wrong. What we call curry is a generic term broadly applied to a very wide range of spices, herbs and seasonings that have formed the traditional basis of South-East Asian cuisine. The British in India were confronted with the same challenges in preserving freshly slaughtered meat that the locals had been, for a very long time, so, unless you wish to suggest that the population of the sub-continent had been fooled into consuming rancid meat for several millennia, your theory falls flat. The popularity of “Curry” in Great Britain and in such far flung outposts of the former Empire as South Africa and the Caribbean is a very good example of cultural cross-pollination. One of the benefits of Imperialism. >: )
maybe so ivan pope, but it still tastes and smells like shit would.
Luckily I love green pepper and I put in just about every meal I make along with onions. Can’t go wrong with those ingredients. I love curry as well though I’ve never tried it on rancid meat.
what about cilantro? That’s some funky tastin shit right there!
Marty… I’m sure they get enough blind, deaf, tongue cancer patients to pass it off a good chunk of the time.
I will say though that the food here at the VG is pretty frakkin’ tasty.
Oooh what a shocker, More-on and Suckers don’t like things that they can’t find in their backyards/balconies.
Can’t find in their backyards / balconies?
*looks @ garden, sees tomatoes, peppers, chilies, squash, watermelon, etc.*
Well f*ck. A curry plant was the next item on the list of stuff to add, along with the mint and lemon balm.
A curry plant ?!? you no nothing at all if you think curry comes from one plant. I just can’t stand the taste of the stuff, even the smell of it turns my stomach…its not my fault, its obviously a genetic flaw ! what I find is odd , is I like hot foods, I like kimchi & wasabi & I really do like hot sauces, chili’s etc.
Maybe my curry distaste has something to do with….
Cilantro & lemon grass tastes like soap to me.
Supposedly that isn’t uncommon .
Not that I hate the stuff, i just don’t want to be eating something that tastes like soap
he was being silly, more. i don’t mind small amounts of cilantro but it can taste like soap, when there’s too much. my brother makes his own curry, it rawks
I’m well aware that curry plants are not involved in curry (the spice) 😉 It’s a good perfuming agent though. As for taste variations and response to cilandro (to some it tastes like herbs, to others it tastes like soap), it’s like capsaicin tolerance. Some people could gargle pepper spray, others are in tears at the slightest heat. I wouldn’t call it a genetic flaw as much as part of the variation. It’s like being right-handed vs left-handed.
