All hazelnut flavoring (that isn't actual raw hazelnut) makes me want to vomit and tastes rancid to me.

Pine nutes tased good to me but some batches can give me a taste disturbance where everything tastes like chemicals for 2-3 weals after I have pine nuts.

I love cilantro. But I empathize with those who taste soap and hate it.

I CLAIM CHET BAKER SINGS IS ONE OF THE BEST BLUE NOTE TONE POETS!

If only it was released from Covid jail so I could get my copy.

That was part of Canada for a few years back during the war of 1812.

Now it’s mine!

Yep we’d call the green stuff Corriander, the seeds Corriander seeds and the spice ground Corriander. Much like we’d do the same with Fennel or fenugreek etc.

Tonight cilatro/coriander will be in my chicken soup!!! I will think of you while I eat and silently hate on David Bowie!!!!

Is that the land mass they sold back to the United States. Or was that another panisala / island on the great lakes?

I don't actually know how it went back to the US.

(But I do know how it ended up in @TenderLovingKiller®'s possession)

AP results haven’t budged at all.

It's cool. We don't want it.

Even if Biden gets 270, he'll still lose. As divided as we are now, there's bound to be some faithless electors for Trump. Goes to the House, and Repubs represent more states.

How faithless electors could decide the 2020 election

When it comes time for the Electoral College to vote, some electors could go against their state's vote.

He’ll get more than 270, though.

It’s good for Muskie fishing’ and leaf peepin’ swing by next time you’re in the neighborhood.

Yeah that is crazy with pine nuts. My sister used to eat homemade pesto like every other day and then everything tasted like metal for weeks. Took a while to figure out it was the pine nuts.

Then again. If you go faithless in this election given the current societal and political climate, well, you just put a bounty on your own head. Not that I condone violence, but that America in 2020.

While we are on the topic of food. Is there anyone here that has a strong dislike for fresh Anise (Fennel)?

If he pulls in NC, GA, or PA. Otherwise no, because 1 vote in ME went to Trump

Nah, that is bullshit and there are like a bunch of ways for the Dems to play that one of which basically results in Pelosi not convening the house through inauguration Day which would result in her becoming president. That would be a less than desirable result for most in the GOP plus it would essentially blow up the government. No one is gonna do that.

I like it in a salad, cut thinly with some lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. The tops basically taste like dill.

I had a beer once brewed with honey. It’s was called the bees knees. It was the dogs bollocks.

My wife used to say she hated it but after she realized there is a lot of fennel seeds in Indian food she isn't as biased if she doesn't think about it. Obviously it's even harder to tell with the cooked bulb.

She was showing me some thing that NYTimes posted to help people relax yesterday and it was some guy ranting about how Good N' Plenty are horrible and nobody likes them, but I mean...it's just licorice? I know that is a divisive candy but obviously people like licorice!

I love it, and licorice, except the salted licorice candy at IKEA, it is terrible.
