You must be one of those people cursed by genes who perceive coriander as tasting like soap. You have my great sympathy. Brussels sprouts roasted in a pan or the oven with lots of butter are a great though simple joy.
But I myself am one of those people who'd rather die slowly of starvation than eat a beet in any form, showing great betrayal of my relatively more recent ancestors. But I just can't.
"As a Jewish convert to Orthodox Christianity with a fairly wide set of historical books under my belt, it troubles me to see some hierarchs and channels following the world's narrative about "anti-Semitism" and all the things that have been done to "combat anti-Semitism." I'll tell you directly, as a 100% pure blooded Ashkenazi man, how to fix "anti-Semitism:" Anti-Semitism will end when faithless Jews leave other groups of people alone and stop trying to transform their nations and cultures in ways that invariably harm the populations in question. It is really not that complicated.”
Excellent depiction of distraction tendencies. I have a hard time explaining why it takes me 3x as long to do something simple than the average person. Too many freeway exits along the highway of a task! Also if you ever eat Brussels sprouts that were labored over for hours to make them palatable, you’ll still say, “Those are the best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever eaten...but they’re still Brussels sprouts”
Well. A man who scorns brussels sprouts. How you have just fallen in my estimation...
I have tried. And I just can't.
