durian....vile.....vile.....vile. Why would you want to try and get to tasting something that smells that bad(rotting garbage).
Curry leaves smell like nothing in particular, but add a delicious taste to soups.
Perhaps Durian tastes much better than it smells, that's why I want to try it. Some people say that if you can get past the smell, the taste is wonderful. Can't say I don't like it until I do, and using that philosophy I've tried some pretty good stuff I otherwise wouldn't have.
Then again, there are people that like Cilantro, and I find it vile.

I don't particularly like the leaves, but I love the seeds.

Cilantro ruins otherwise good food.

friends have had it and they say the flavour is milder than the smell, so if you don't mind something that tastes slightly of rotten garbage go for it.

The seeds are pretty good too, and the leaves aren't bad if pickled or preserved. They seem to lose that 'yuck' factor.
But raw . . .disgusting!

I've had things like tripe soup, and Andouillette (sausage made from intestines), which wasn't bad but I probably wouldn't have again. But I tried it!

Well I suppose while you peeps are eating the stinky things I'll have a Dorito.

I've always wanted to be on one of those cooking shows. When the panel informs me I left out one of the required ingrediants... the kidney? No I fed it to the fucking dog. I didn't want to puke seeing you eat it.
As for chicken breast, if you don't smother it in an Asian sauce so you taste something, you might as well eat it as chicken fingers smothered in a dip.

Not only do I find chicken breast bland, I find it very dry (and yes, my wife insists on buying it all the time too!).
The only decent chicken breast dishes I've had recently are Indian or Middle Eastern dishes where they marinate it in yogurt....makes it really juicy and of course then there's the exotic seasoning.

It's the fat that makes most meat tasty, but today's industry is so intent on giving you a healthy, fat-free experience, they forgot about the taste.

Sorry but I disagree. The food today is less healthy, more fatty. And yet still more bland.

Brine it for about 3/4 of an hour to one hour, and you'll never complain about dry flavourless chicken breast again.

Chicken and pork tends to be far fattier these days and trying to find a nicely marbled steak at a grocery store is like searching for Noahs Arc. Sounds fun but you really wonder if it does exist.

Noah was a welder?
