No it didn't and you're a faggot.

Not surpised, glad you like it. The soul of a BLT is in-season fresh tomatoes. The green and animal bits are secondary at best.

From what I have read cilantro is an acquired taste. Is this true? Should I keep putting it in my food in small doses and eventualy I will like it? I really wanna like it because as I said I love mexican food and cilantro is a big part of most 'recipes'. Help por favor.
>>9285389
It's a genetic thing. For some people cilantro tastes like soap. For other people it doesn't have that soapy taste.
Be aware that cilantro can easily overpower a dish. I like it, but even so I'm very careful with how much I use. Salsa can be especially insidious because the cilantro flavor gets stronger over time. If you make fresh salsa and you add cilantro until it tastes right it will become a cilantro bomb as it sits for a few hours. For many dishes with cilantro add less than you think you might need because the flavor will become much stronger as the dish sits or cooks.
>>9285389
A decent salsa or pico is kinda like a macaroni salad or potato salad, best made 24 hours before you want to eat it.
Cilantro kinda bleeds into a dish over a day and becomes eatable, but it needs that time. I'm not really a big fan of it, and I find it retarded as a garnish, but it has it's uses.
>>9285401
This. I go out to eat every Thursday with a couple of friends. One friend and I both love this Mexican place because they put cilantro in everything, but the other dude hates it and says it tastes like soap.
>>9285389
I would be careful about using a "shitload" I love the stuff, but it can be pretty overpowering.
Do you think eating bugs will ever become popular in the west?
>>9285337
if it becomes a broke shithole, sure
so give it about ten more years
>>9285337
Once all the whites are gone and you retarded gooks who already eat that shit live here, sure.
>>9285337
Females wouldn't do it so no. If any man was asked if he wanted to eat a tarantula he'd say yes unless he was a faggot.
are double boilers a meme?
i mean why can't you just turn the heat really low?
>>9285282
Because a conventional cooktop can't even make the heat go that low.
Also double boilers provide even heating compared to the hotspots you get from direct heat which can easily burn delicate things like milk, sugar, or chocolate.
>>9285282
Yeah this thing that has been around forever and has a legitimate use is a fucking meme, you solved the mystery detective assblood
>>9285282
>double boilers provide even heating
This is very important when melting TNT for casting into shaped charges. You get a hot spot in your pan while doing that, you won't have a pan much longer.
What's the point of fast food? Why would you go eat a mcgriddle from Mcdonalds's that costs 5 bucks when you could go to a local chain/place and get a real burger AND also a side for the same price?
>>9285211
Convenience and needing to eat on the go.

Why did you ask a question when the answer is within the question?
I can't order food from a local restaurant and get the food within 2 minutes without stepping out of my car.
That said, I don't really like fast food breakfast and never get it.
Fact: My cheeseburger at the Trump International Hotel is the comfiest lunch.
I think I might be becoming gay. Not because I'm sucking cock, but because I'm starting to find french fries unappetizing. Those look absolutely disgusting, and would make me feel like shit after eating them.
Is that a slice of onion...under the bun? Heh. Jesus.

What's the best substitute for that orange "American Cheese"? It's always the best for burgers in what I've experienced, but I live in Australia and you can't get it anywhere here. I miss seeing orange in burgerland.
>>9285132
It simply depends on the milk used. Any cheese can be orange or yellow.
>>9285141
While I would like it to be orange, I'm more concerned with how it melts. American cheese melts the best.
>>9285132
monterey jack? you can get that in australia
I'm talking what food you eat the most out of every other type of food.
My pick goes to beef flavored ramen noodles. Been eating this shit since I was 4. Chicken fags need not respond
>>9285127
Cheerios
>>9285127
Bush's seasoned black beans go in about a quarter of my recipes
Hunt's garlic and onion diced tomatoes get second place, going in about a sixth of my recipes.
>>9285127
Water. I drink it like my life depends on it.
Someone redpill me on cashews
Taste great, less fiber and protein than almonds.
>>9284992
Honey roasted peanuts are what teenagers eat. Cashews are what dad munches on in the recliner as he tells his peanut eating children to shut the fuck up.

Why hasn't stevia overtaken sucralose and sugar yet? It's an organic sweetener, what's not to like about it
I don't know, sucralose is the absolute worst tasting sweetener on the market.
>>9284982
a lot of stevia products have waaay too much stevia in them and an xtreme aftertaste, and i think that gives people a bad first impression.
It tastes like bitter asshole.

The cheese looks kinda gross but roast beef on an onion roll is amazin
>>9284830
No shit. It's a "roast beef" sandwich. What's the purpose of this shitty thread? Youre a European who doesn't understand what a burger is? You think American people call that a burger? Because we don't.
>>9284831
I throw up in my mouth a little when I see someone eating and Arby's sandwich with that fake melted yellowish plastic on it. There is no way that shit is more than 25% cheese. It's on par with gas station nachos.
What are /ck/`s opinions on kefir?

Why are Nespresso capsules still not widely accepted as a perfectly legitimate way of making coffee?
because keurig won that format fight
reminder that if you drink coffee you are a slave to the capitalist regime lmao you need to drink a drink so you can perform basic human functions lmao cucked by the system yet again
>>9284334
Define "legitimate"
If I'm stuck at a client site and that's all they have, I'll take it rather than disrupt work by walking out to the parking lot, getting in my rental cage, and caging for an hour and a half to the nearest third-wave coffee shop
It's a bit like "washing" your hands with hand sanitizer gel because you're not near running water
In this case, flyover cage bound places are the equivalent of no running water
im going to amsterdam on saturday wheres good for food lads? does amsterdam even have a good food culture or is it just dudeweedmunchies?
Of course a major european city has a food culture.
What's your pricerange?

I went there to smoke (alone) and found a very nice family run restaurant not far from the train station. Liver and bacon + mash was excellent, and I wasn't even stoned.
For what it's worth I would smoke a couple of "skunk" prerolled joints in a cafe each evening reading a book. Lovely city, just stay away from the redlight area.
