GIP!

You can blame credit [livejournal.com profile] aesc for the inspiration. Just like my default icon, yet not. :D

Venezuelan food, at least in the incarnation that I tried, turns out to have too much cilantro in it. Is it really, truly, too much to ask that when a restaurant provides a list of what a dish contains, they list everything in it so we can make intelligent choices? As it is, I think I would have gotten much the same results by squirting some dish detergent in my soup.

You liked the arepitas though, right?

In case the menus happen to be better written in Brazil, the ingredients you need to avoid are coentro and cebolas.

I feel just the same way about cilantro. Ergh. Ditto bergamot--lemon dish detergent!

That was a gift to me from [livejournal.com profile] dandelow, who kindly replaced her original text ("Merri-Todd pleases the Potions Master") with something appropriately snarky. *g*

Hey!

Don't hate cilantro because it's better than you.

Mmmm... soapy.
