Wow rare emoji unlocked

[–] roux@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I thought they were supposed to taste that way. What?!

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have no idea what they're supposed to taste like, but for me even like a few slivers of beet in a salad will just fill my mouth with a revolting taste of dirt. My mom didn't think it was real and kept trying to hide beets in my food when I was a kid, and only gave up when I set up a blind taste-test to convince her lol.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I'm completely opposite. I like the taste but I literally just thought the dirt taste was normal. But I like funky weird food flavors in general. Now I gotta know what they are supposed to taste like.

[–] Dickey_Butts@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

Didn't know this was a thing but I def have it. Mushrooms all just taste like dirt to me as well, wonder if that's a me thing or what.

What if it's the "soap tastes like cilantro" gene? Either way I have it. You know, sometimes I just put dish soap on my bánh mì instead of coriander. Much cheaper in the long run.

[–] BobDole@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

Especially if you enjoy shidding and farding out of your doodoo ass

[–] ihaveibs@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ngl, I've always wondered if it was a bazinga brained way to say "10% of people don't like cilantro" which to me seems like a normal ratio of people who don't like a certain food. It does taste like soap, but I like it.

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

There's no way people are tasting what I am. If there's a salad on the other side of the table with coriander in it, I get a waft of soap so strong that my brain shivers while everyone else smells nothing at all.

I have a very expansive pallette but coriander is totally inedible. Nothing tastes like it. (although, I don't notice it so much if it's cooked)

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It doesn't taste like soap I just don't like it

[–] Beluga@hexbear.net 19 points 4 days ago

Honest and fair unlike the alleged gene carriers

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago

I'm genetically superior and can enjoy proper salsa

Correct. The coriander soap gene, that's real.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'll take your cilantro if you're not going to finish it.

[–] Beluga@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

I always dump a bunch of it in beans and it’s always a treat slurping it up like noodles

[–] WafflesTasteGood@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Cilantro is great, but ginger tastes like soap to me.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago

Could be on to a new fad though: the whiskey + soap cocktail, for the Tide pod crowd.

[–] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

This is now my favorite post. Based, I say. Based as fuck.

This is the endpoint of dialectical materialism.

Thank you. Someone needed to say it.

Next on the chopping block: the asparagus smelling pee gene

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It doesn’t smell like pee. It makes your pee smell like sulfur. But it either doesn’t for some people, or they can’t smell it when it does.

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I’ve never thought it tasted like soap it just tastes terrible.

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Tastes and Smells like grass to me and not in a good way

[–] Inui@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

What about the "celery tastes like (bad) sour water" gene? I always thought they were closely related.

[–] Zoift@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

Cilantro doesn't taste like soap, it just tastes like ass.
