I totally design my diet around whether or not cilantro tastes like soap. It 100% tastes like chemicals to me and ruins every food that it touches, so my diet is anything that doesn't include cilantro.
That's what you meant, right
?
Then claim that everyone, even those who like cilantro, should eat just like you.
Dang, I did it wrong.
So, I have to start the campaign that avoiding cilantro is the ONE WEIRD TRICK to drop 10 pounds in a week?
Am I getting closer to how this works?
I'll take the rejected cilantro.
I'll trade you for all those delicious sounding crackers.
#CilantroIsPoison
Take my crackers and I'll cut you.
It's not worth messing up a perfectly good knife over, lol. How would you slice your cheese?!
What sort of person only owns one knife.
For that matter, what sort of person would cut someone with a cheese knife.
I'm Scottish, I have a whole arsenal of knives and random bits of wood fashioned into bludgeoning devices.8 -

Mackie's of Scotland Haggis & Black Pepper Potato Chips
Mackie's Ridge Cut Whisky & Haggis Potato Chips
Sadly, both are crazy expensive, too much so for a novelty picnic dish.
Didn't actually realise Mackie's made either of those flavours. Don't know what sort of eye watering price you're talking about, but Mackie's are some damn fine crisps. We're talking classy snacks here. At home at any occasion.
ETA their ice cream is even better, but tricky to import via Amazon. And not, as far as I know, Haggis-flavoured.1 -

Heh.
It looked like it was one bag for $49 or $55. Looking more closely, it's 12 3.5 oz bags for $49 or $55 for 24 small (40 g) bags. So either $4 or $2.29 per bag, which I would totally pay if I could buy an individual bag, but of course not. Apart from the cost, I don't know if I really want that many chips I have not tried. I'm going to see if I can find some store selling UK foods around here that has them, you never know!0 -
I tried the raw potato today. I don't know what I was supposed to expect. At first I tasted nothing and then I tasted something. I don't know what that meant.
I think I will stick with cooked potatoes from here on in, though. I have to say the texture of the raw potato was pretty nice.
Dr. Oz is still quackers.3 -

Funny, they are a Scottish brand and being Scottish I never really thought of them as posh! Not any more than say Kettle or Walkers Sensations et al.
You need a friendly Brit to send you some.

Hey. I like eating raw potatoes. Dip them in a little salt and yummy. Yes, I am weird. I also ate raw slices of onion too. On the other hand, raw turnips are really good. Like radishes without the bite.
This may be a stupid question, but aren't raw potatoes supposed to be poisonous? Perhaps it was just a rumor started by Big Cracker to keep us from testing carb intolerance with potato.
Only the peels and eyes, and if there is any green left over on the potato after peeling it. Do a good job of peeling and remove the eyes and they are perfectly safe raw.
Poisonous potatoes, they must be referring to potatoes that have been stored for a long time - especially if not stored in a cool dark humidity controlled environment. Growing up I ate many a potatoe raw, would walk out to the garden, dig beside a plant and find a new potatoe, cut it off the root, a quick wash and chomp chomp.0 -

I think that is why I eat so many raw veggies. My Mom was raised on a farm and did the same thing so she always had raw veggies available for us to eat. I used to watch her peel potatoes and she would frequently cut off a chunk and eat it while peeling. I don't think she was even aware of it.
Summer dinners usually included a platter of raw veggies, many from our garden: carrots, celery, green onions, turnips, radishes, cabbage, etc. Cool, easy to prepare, didn't heat up the kitchen, and tasty.2 -

Cilantro is of the gods! You walk that hashtag back right now, cilantro hater.
Seriously though, I know it's not for some people. My sister can't even stand the smell of it and we are both from a Latin culture that uses it frequently and in large amounts in meals.
I could never figure out how on earth people liked that stuff until I finally learned that it literally doesn't taste the same to most people when I was around 25 or so. I just thought people were nuts for liking the chemically taste.
I used to not like it at all. Maybe my genetics morphed. And I should be paid thousands for them to study this phenomena.
Worst X-Men power ever.
Rude. Do you even have a super power bro?
I'll have you know I can turn biomatter into energy to tense various strains of muscle all over my body to exert feats of strength.13 -

If I were watching Springer and Oz together, I would be tolerant enough to finish at least one full bag.2
