Extremely Rude Waitress Tonight

[Aragarthiel]

It can be juicy but it's like someone soaked a washcloth, and it doesn't help any. My tongue focuses on the fibers, it's just the way it is.

If that's what your steaks taste like you are not getting good properly cooked steak. It's not supposed to be dry

Omg, I don't really care for steaks or chops or anything like that. I have only once in my life had a properly cooked steak. I was at a friends, and they kept saying that it was really good and I should try it. I did because it was just one bite, and I don't hate it that much, I just think it's chewy and dry. Anyways, it was SO GOOD. Apparently it was a very good cut, and cooked nicely. But I will never order it at a restaurant because why bother? I actually feel the same way about grilled chicken. Dryyyyyyyy. Boy, it makes me sound picky, but I swear I'm not.

I forgot about grilled chicken! It reminds me of the sole of a shoe, or maybe a flip-flop.

And how do you feel about tomatoes, aspargus, cheese, esp. parmesan? Perhaps you two can't taste umami.

[Aragarthiel]

Hate tomatoes (except in sauces) but I love cheeses.

I also don't like tomatoes, unless in relatively smooth sauce. I like asparagus, really like cheese including Parmesan. I think I can taste umami, based on a quick search. I like soy sauce, green tea, celery, spinach, fresh fish.

[BeeMused]

I was just wondering, the main taste in meat is umami after all.

I too hate raw tomatoes, the taste and the texture... *full body shudder* Soup and sauce are fine.

Another raw tomato hater here. They taste a lot like green peppers, which is fine, but they're mushy and their flavor dominates the rest of the dish. I do like a lot of tomato-based stuff though.

The one year I grew tomatoes, I used some in a pot of chili and gave away the rest.

At high velocity...

[BeeMused]

Heh! We seem to need a group: Tomatoes Haters United or something

[Seanette]

I don't much care for tomatoes in solid state, but sauce and such are fine. Loathe bell pepper.

[mathnerd]

I'm the opposite. I actually love tomatoes, but can't eat them, as they try to kill me.

[raudf]

I love fried green tomatoes and am okay with tomatoes as soup or sauce or cooked. I don't much care for them raw. I prefer my carrots raw, but if they are cooked, it better be in a soup or stew, because otherwise, I just don't like 'em.

I also don't care much for jello or 7up/Sprite, thanks to being sick all the time as a kid. Mom didn't force me to eat it, but it was all I could eat for a while there. (Kidney infections suck.)

Texturally, I don't like shrimp. Just chews like rubber (and this is coming from someone who loves gum!) and tastes bleh to me. Confounded my parents since they both love shrimp.

I wouldn't eat sweetcorn as a child cuz it reminded me of teeth. I'll eat it now, tho.

[Aragarthiel]

My husband and I both swear that SPAM is dog food, and I can't eat mushrooms because I keep remembering that fungi grow on feet, too.
