Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 The first time I used Cilantro, was in my Potato Soup, instead of a little parsely. I must have over used it. The first time I tasted it, it tasted like soap, but then I tried it in salsa and I loved it. Now it doesn't taste like soap at all to me. Funny how tasting something you haven't liked before, prepared in new way, your taste buds just seem to change overnight. That is the way it was with Asparagus for me. I had always hated the smell of asparagus cooking and couldn't eat it without gagging. Then I was somewhere, where it was disguised in a salad. I never saw it or tasted it, but LOVED the salad. From then on, the smell and taste has never bothered me. It was so weird to go from really hating something to loving it. Now I love Asparagus and make casseroles with it, " creamy " aparagus soup, Asparagus and Leek Chowder and Love to steam it and squeeze fresh lemon juice over it and add a little salt.

I didn't like it the first time I tasted it but I sure got used to it fast. My BIL is from Yucatan and it was added to everything. The more I ate it the more I loved it. Now mint, yikes I can't even stand to look at a candycane lol Donna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I have to agree that tasting things more than once can make a big difference in likes and dislikes. I never liked water chestnuts. Every since I was a kid that particular crunch is like fingernails on a blackboard to me. But every year I taste it again just to see if my tastes have changed. They have not, I still hate it and I've finally given myself permission to stop tasting <g> Lu A cat isn't fussy - just so long as you remember she like her milk in the shallow, rose patterned saucer and her fish on the blue plate. From which she will take it, and eat it off the carpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
