Anastasia13 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 My mom and I can't tolerate the smell or taste at all. The best way to describe it is a bitter lemon soap taste that makes me want to gag. :x Cilanto is awesomesauce. Getting Over Cilantro For those looking to acclimate themselves to cilantro, mincing, pulverizing, or crushing cilantro is a good place to start. Bruising cilantro through these methods releases enzymes that break down the offending aldehyde compounds, leaving them less flavorful and aromatic and allowing other flavor compounds to shine through. Cooking cilantro also greatly reduces its potency, which is why most recipes call for adding it fresh as a topper after cooking. If you're looking for a little cilantro flavor without a super strong in-your-face presence, try adding it to food as it cooks to lessen its strength. http://foodreference.about.com/od/Herbs-and-Spices/a/Why-Does-Cilantro-Taste-Soapy.htm
LittleWaySoul Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 As someone who hasn't been in VS for quite some time, this thread is highly amusing. :hehe:

das8949 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Dust, I would be interested in assuming responsibility for Vocation Station. I have been around for several years and belong to no group or have a particular friendship at this time. I have submitted topics over the years that have brought about discussion.I have a Masters Degree in Library Science and am computer literate. I am comfortable with being bullied as I am an open gay person on Vocation Station. However, we remain celibate and attend church etc.I support members of VS whom enter communities by having novenas said in their class honor for DSMME as well as for a Carmelite. As I read these pages I must say if I were the one choosing a couple of names would be deleted immediately. It only take one submission to express interest and convey your sincerity and humility. I would be honored to have further discussion with you at your will. Thanks Darlene Steinemann
Antigonos Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 eat cilantro or the terrorists will win. I knew that must be the reason I've got tons growing in my garden. (Used a lot in Mid-Eastern and Indian cooking, both being favorite cuisines of mine)
CrossCuT Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I can no longer participate in this thread after reading the hateful posts about cilantro. My faith in humanity is waning.
maximillion Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Let's nominate cilantro for the dUst ban. :winner: (or would that be the dUst bin?.............) Edited August 1, 2014 by maximillion
OnlySunshine Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I can no longer participate in this thread after reading the hateful posts about cilantro. My faith in humanity is waning. I think I'm going to submit you to be banned since you don't hate cilantro like you should. That's just preposterous! :hehe2:

Credo in Deum Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 If I was the Mod, I would have closed this thread at the first mention of the "c" word.
das8949 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 AMEN! Such disregard for the nature of the subject at hand.
OnlySunshine Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 AMEN! Such disregard for the nature of the subject at hand. We're only joking. ;)
OnlySunshine Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Ill make you my peanut thai dish that has cilantro in it and you will change your mind! Youre all heathens! Does it have wheat in it? I'm allergic to wheat.
maximillion Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Referring to the OP, we are obviously all totally irresponsible. Look what we have done to this serious thread! :winner: :hehe2:

Should I use cilantro in whatever I decide to cook? :P
das8949 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Mater, It is the intention behind the joking. You all know the policies and one is not to hijack a thread. For me, since it is a very serious post, it should have remained that way and the cilantro business could have been shared on the lame board. It has no business in Vocation Station. You are showing disrespect to DUST as well as the Vocation station board. I would enforce that policy of not hijacking. It is not just you - all the talk of pizza and cookies etc do not belong here either. The purpose is too discuss issues relating to a vocation to religious life, priesthood, brothers, etc. Edited August 1, 2014 by das8949
