I've said this on the blog before but it REALLY REALLY bears repeating. Parsley is absolutely fucking disgusting and I hate it. I hate the minging ack-yacking taste of it, the way everything it touches tastes of it and...well I hate it more than jazz but less than Reiki. I am always very annoyed when it is sprinkled all over my food in a restaurant. I didn't ask for it, I don't want it and it SHOULD be not on my plate. Food should be parsley free by default. That way if people DO want the cruddy crap violating their food they can request it and people who don't can enjoy their food with vomiting, sending it back, or spending a long time scraping every filthy green flake of it off their food.
Parsley, I am VERY much against
Not even a wee sprig on your mushroom soup FMC? Just a wee itty bitty bit of greenery? Just a smidgen? Eh?
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree. Had a couple of meals over the last month where parsley was entwined with what I thought I was getting. No warning on the menu.
ReplyDeleteThey wouldn't do it with Marmite, cheeky fuckers.
I'd say no, but at least you can lift a sprig out Sheepie, but chopped up parsley is the devil's smegma.
ReplyDeleteExactly BBB, no mention of it on the menu. It's so bloody annoying.
Ah, grow up and eat it, it's good for you.
ReplyDeleteyou can't be eating things you don't like.
ReplyDeleteNonny
It's disgusting. Why would anyone eat something they found disgusting? What's grown up about eating something vile and minging? And what's so good about it??
ReplyDeleteDrat, we crossed, but what Nonny said.
ReplyDeletemeh, parsley is ok in my book.
ReplyDeleteThey should really mention that it's garnished with parsley though.
So many restaurants have such superfluous descriptions like
"delicious fresh baked fish delicately cooked in a tender bed of . . . blah blah".
I'll decide if it's delicious or fresh thanks, just tell me the ingredients instead of flattering yourself.
Heh heh heh, riled ya.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I suspect that you'd be pproven wrong about not eating things you don't like. Apparently if you try something ten times you'll end up liking it, at least more than you did at first.
Guinness is a good example.
There's loads of good about parsley - I can only remember digestive aid though, and it gets rid of the smell of garlic off your breath.
I used to pick it and eat it out of the garden as a kid. Mmmm, parsley. Thus proving it is not inherently disgusting, you just find it so.
HOw do you feel about coriander? I know a lot of people who hate it, think it tastes soapy, but I think it's food of the gods.
I don't mind coriander, I rather like coriander and carrot soup, basil too is fine. I just find parsley and cucumber utterly disgusting.
ReplyDeleteMorgor! That's funny, I ind overly flowery description ridiculous too. I remember once getting 'tender moist delicate' lamb chops than I could have used to repair a puncture.
Cucumber eh? Sounds like you're a Supertaster, and you'll experience as bitter what others can find sweet.
ReplyDeletehehe, whenever I see descriptions like that I just think "assholes."
ReplyDeleteI don't mind descriptions of how it's cooked or where it's been sourced from, it's just the pointless ones that get to me.
Could nearly do a list with alternatives:
"Fresh" : "tinned"? "out of date"?
"Delicately spiced" : "wit' spices lobbed on by a big clumsy man"?
"Delicious" : "foul tasting"?
hint- smothered in.
ReplyDeleteDelicate- pungent
Lightly roasted- in a volcano
hand rolled- well a hand pressed the machine button.
crushed potato- to wanky to mash it
Supertaster? We can have a title with 'super' in it? YES!
ReplyDelete'Nice to meet you, my name is FMC and I am a supertaster. What do you do?'
I just think that stuff's funny. Like Elaine having to write blurbs for the Urban Sombrero in Seinfeld.
ReplyDeleteA good job for a blogger.

it's sooooooooo 1970's........our chefs had to be weened of using it like heroin addicts. chives became their methadone....
ReplyDeleteHah Manuel, I noticed that actually, you can't get mash out these days without chives chopped and sprinkled all over them. What is it with chef's and their dire need to besprinkle perfectly lovely food with herbs?
ReplyDelete(Off to Tescos to buy spring onions and Guinness for venison hotpot the paramour is making later. Yummy. Posts about food always have me drooling. Even disgusting food like cucumbers and parsley.)
Cucumber has it's uses FMC - its quite nice in a glass of G&T, as I recently discovered.
ReplyDeletei feel the same way about olives! just the thought of them makes me feel sick.
ReplyDeleteI have several herbs growing on the deck in pots but parsley isn't one of them. It has no flavor.
ReplyDeleteCucumber?? In Gin?? Yack.
ReplyDeleteEtheline hates them too, Tina. I don't mind olives at all, except when they stuff them with bits of fish, like tuna-which I also dislike. Then they're gag worthy. The Marklar here goes all funny when you give him an olive, he carries it around in his mouth, dropping them now and then to and rub his cheek off them. Odd little fellow.
You really mean you can't taste parsley at all? Lucky Medbh, if that is the case.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the double post earlier.
ReplyDeleteHere's what wikki says.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster
I can't eat/drink anything on that supertaster's list (except the first one) and grapefruit juice, which I find shockingly sour/bitter.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it before.
Fillet steak tonight, potatoes (with home grown garlic chives) and no parsley.
I'd never heard of it either but I see cabbage is there and that makes me vomit, and green tea, which is disgusting and sprouts! VIle wee iron-y cabbages. But it also contains alcohol and I'm pretty sure I'd lick alcohol off a scabby leg.
ReplyDeleteYour dinner sounds delightful BBB, as will be venison hotpot. He's just come back and put it on-it takes a while to cook, and already it smells delish. Stupid having to wait for things to cook.
The spriggy parsley or the flat leaf parsley? And what about rocket, eh?
ReplyDeletenow, here's a question. is it both kinds of parsley you dislike, or just the "crinkly" kind? for me, i'll eat flat-leaf parsley (aka italian parsley) any day of the week.... but that curly-leafed parsley makes me gag.
ReplyDeleteeverything in moderation.
ALL parsley, all of it, mucky cruddy poisonous weed.
ReplyDeleteRocket's okay. Not wi----ld about it, but it's okay. It doesn't make me retch.
I've just had a dinner that woudl kill a pig. I believe elastic waisted pants are called for.
I've had three quiet days with the pups and no cooking.
ReplyDeleteIt must be lovely to have a man cook for you.
It really is. I'll never take it for granted. Plus he's a terrific cook. Left to my own devices I'd subsist on diet of cheese, toast, steamed vegetables, eggs and maybe the occasional put upon banana.
ReplyDeleteParsley is dogfood.
ReplyDeleteI hate hate stupid condiments - once complained very loudly when I got once got parsley sprinkled over my fucking TOAST!
Also once got icing sugar sprinkled around my toast. That got returned very swiftly to the kitchen.
Quite right! People fucking about with delicious buttery non herb/sugar needing toast deserve to be horsewhipped and then blunderbussed with ball-bearings and rock salt.
ReplyDeleteIf they're that worried about dickying it up for you they ought to cut it up into soldiers and arrange it in a complicated but delicious buttery pyramids-like Gamma used to do. Parsley on toast, really, what a liberty.
alcoholic beverages : me likee
ReplyDeleteBrussels sprouts : ick
cabbage : not too keen
kale : not sure
coffee : prefer tea
grapefruit juice : too sour
green tea : ick
spinach : i like
soy products : meh
I guess I'm not a supertaster, just a good taster ;)
"elastic waisted pants"
