Apple + Cheese
What a winning combination!
Today’s lunch featured a Granny Smith apple and Muenster cheese sandwich that I enjoyed along with leftover roasted asparagus.
Salty + Sweet + Tart
Asparagus
The leftover asparagus was oh-so-tasty!
I know I’ve touched on the asparagus and stinky pee connection previously, but did you know that cilantro is another one of those funky foods that affects people differently?
According to The New York Times, the herb tastes like soap to some people. These people, according to studies conducted by Charles J. Wysocki of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, “may be genetically predisposed to dislike cilantro.”
Interesting, huh?

Yes to the stink. I don’t like to put cilantro in my home-cooked food (with the exception of guacamole). But I DO happen to like it in foods at restaurants. I don’t know why…
I heard that the same soap-tasting gene works for people eating dark chocolate as well!

I love cliantro. I’ve gotten pass the soapy taste, I just don’t taste it like that anymore. My mom still can’t stand it.
