Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 05, 2021

what does the guy on the right have against Cilantro?

Why? What’s there to agree or disagree when the other side is clearly wrong? Ergo, we have all solemnly agreed to disagree that we disagree.

I got Eggs Benedict at one restaurant topped with cilantro. It actually tasted very good.

I don’t think we can even all agree that no one looks good wearing an umbrella beanie.

Benny can agree to disagree.

Yep. I’m a cilantro user, but I’m careful to do it in moderation…

I don’t care if you garnish – just don’t put it on my food!

As far as I’m aware, Cilantro is the same thing as dhania. We use it in curries and as a garnish in curry side dishes.

Problem is street garnish. Never sure if you’re getting the uncut real stuff.

Yes! Get rid of cilantro! I never understood why it tasted like soap until this past couple years when they finally did studies on it. Horrible stuff. Horrible! And if it’s in something, that’s all I can taste. eww

Which one is Benny?

Oh, coriander….. I like it.

“It doesn’t matter what you say. It makes no difference anyway. Whatever it is, I’m against it.” – Groucho Marx as Prof. Quincy Adams Wagstaff in “Horse Feathers” (1932)

I love it too

The singer or the Seasoning?

another re-run.

It’s kind of like October: pumpkin spice everything.

If I want spice on my food, I’ll put it there.

Spices became a part of western civilization in the days before refrigeration and were used to cover up the taste of rancid meat. Nowadays, they are used to cover up bad cooking.

They are the gastronomical equivalent of a high school band: if you can’t be good, be loud.

AND BASKIN-ROBBINS® WILL ONLY SERVE ______________ FLAVOR! (Fill in flavor of your choice. Personally I’m good with most anything except strawberry.)

You have GOT to be kidding!!!!! This is America, fer gawd’s sake. . .two Americans have AT LEAST 70 different opinions on any one subject. . .

Famed chef Julia Child hated cilantro with an unbridled passion. She banned it from her home, her kitchen, and all of her sous chefs from using the herb.

Arrg! Cumin…I hate the damn stuff. I love Cilantro, put it on my Ice Cream…Yum!

Well I don’t know about cilantro, but I got some fajita seasoning at Sam’s club that I absolutely love. Makes them perfect.

I hate cilantro. So I found it amusing when my 23andme report said that I hate cilantro.

It should be “Just say no to parsley.”

My wife loves cilantro. That doesn’t bother me because it doesn’t taste like ANYTHING to me. I can chew on leaves & stems and taste nothing. I guess I am lucky I missed out on the soap gene.

And the beat goes on, the beat goes on Food probably is second only to politics for generating comments.

Who garnishes with cilantro? All I see are parsley garnishes. I like a little cilantro in Southwestern dishes, but haven’t seen it as a garnish.

If a parsley farmer stops making his payments, can they garnish his wages?

I could’ve told him that that one’d be a loser.

Remember when the “right” threw a hissy fit because President Barack Obama said that he liked arugula?

For every cause there is an unequal and opposite cause. That’s why we have fights. Well, …at least a scuffle or two.

Many years ago, when the price of parsley was going up. I came up with a parsley subsitute. Unfortunately, the taste wasn’t acceptable unless you mixed it with some real parsley. Then the price of parsley went down and I had to abandon the scheme. Too bad, I had an absolute blinder of a tradename: Partially

(Groans gratefully accepted)

Personally, I dislike the taste of cilantro!

Benny’s obviously not very bright since it’s well known that many people don’t like cilantro. Clearly he should have tried something like ice cream or chocolate.

Cilantro is not a garnish. It is an essential ingredient for salads and salsa. Parsley is a garnish…no taste…only a little color.

The guy on the right wears an umbrella hat out in public but a foil one at home in the basement.

No problem here. I’m against the practice of garnishing someone’s pay check. I don’t know what cilantro has to do with this scourge.

147 replies on a comic about cilantro . . . Interesting

Well, March 4 has come and gone, and the 2nd coming of the most recent savior didn’t materialize any more than the 2nd coming of the original savior. You’d think that after awhile (like, say, 2000 years) it would finally dawn on these suckers that they’re being hustled. But no.

Wages or culinary?

Just say no to liver… and eggplant.

Almost 200 comments on CILANTRO? What is this world coming to? No, I don’t read them all, just skim through.

Now if it was kale, I’d sign it

Apparently, to approximately 10% of people, cilantro tastes like soap.

For those who like cilantro/coriander, see:

Some substitutions:

Depending on the dish, mint and fennel have been suggested as a substitute.

I doubt we can agree on anything much.

Why does Go Comics charge to create accounts?

So long as Faux Nooze exists, Benny will Never succeed.

Cilantro is Heavenly.

Cilantro tastes like soap to me.

I don’t care for turmeric, though it’s supposed to be good for health and got very trendy a year or two ago. It’s a stinky flavor.

Soap.

Cilantro tastes great in tacos al pastor. Respect.
