What's wrong with you OP?

This "truther" thing, it is everywhere.

 

[Tesseract]

snort basil every day

 

[MilkBeard]

You're literally so wrong.

.

Don't know what crack you're smoking, OP. Basil is great. It smells nice.

 

[PAULINK]

Basil is a great herb plus the plants keep away flies.

so foul that even flies won't touch it. Do we need to say more?

 

[webkatt]

Do you even Pho bruh?

 

[Akiller]

OP, you should visit Genova, i'm sure you'll find lots of supporters there.

 

[Symphonia]

Ban cinnamon.

Yep.

 

[acheron_xl]

Ban cinnamon.

Yep.

You're a monster.

 

[jesu]

I like cumin.

Basil is incredible,as is green pesto. Coriander is equally incredible, as is fresh made salsa.

 

[Stulaw]

I love using basil when I'm making my own bolognese sauce, in fact, it goes well with anything that uses tomatoes.

Rosemary goes well with garlic and lamb ( I usually have a rack of lamb), add roast potatoes and a few vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, topped with a little beef gravy and you have yourself a delicious meal.

 

[Chainsawkitten]

Ban cinnamon.

Yep.

Cinnamon is already regulated. EU has set a limit of max 50 mg per kg dough.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

That's not how you spell cilantro

Cilantro really does suck. Entire restaurants are ruined because of it.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

That's not how you spell cilantro

And we're done here.

 

[immortal-joe]

If I'm having a dish which includes cheese and / or tomatoes, I'm sprinkling some basil over the motherfucker.

 

[mhayes86]

There's nothing wrong with basil as long as you use it on the right foods, otherwise it's too overpowering. I absolutely love it topped on Mediterranean flatbread.

 

[Symphonia]

You're a monster.

Cinnamon's the real monster.

Cinnamon is already regulated. EU has set a limit of max 50 mg per kg dough.

They should restrict it more.

And by more, I mean banish it altogether.

 

[Dicer]

It sucks when you are eating a delicious pizza and then you take one whiff of this rubbish and your appetite is right out of the window. The overwhelming smell holds all your 5 senses for ransom and your only response is to gag constantly while contemplating what is the point of living. There is only one use for this herb, throw it in the garbage, where the juxtaposition makes your trash smell better in comparison.

You couldn't BE more incorrect baby, yeah...

Churros though.

 

[Messofanego]

I honestly dislike coriander 10x more. Whether that's just me, who knows.

As a pakistani, reading someone hating coriander is absolutely baffling to me. XD

 

[345triangle]

jesus, someone's never eaten a proper margherita

As a pakistani, reading someone hating coriander is absolutely baffling to me. XD

something like 20% of caucasians are genetically incapable of liking it. (i'm not one of them!)

 

[SigSig]

Every ten thousand years, the stars align in a rather bad way and threads like these are created.

 

[Messofanego]

Wow! That's so sad.

 

[Anedar]

Coriander is just awful. It's just the worst when you order a nice pho and get it with a mountain of coriander on top.

 

[Greddleok]

I like cumin.

No dude, that's just pee.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Basil is amazing (except when they leave the whole damn leaf in the food), I bet OP is a dirty cilantro apologist.

Spoiler

Cilantro is also great what is wrong with you people

 

[GHG]

I'm buying some basil tonight as I'm making Bolognese sauce.

Eat shit OP, you have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[jesu]

How can we have pesto if you ban basil?

 

[FunkyDealer]

Basil is great as long as you don't go completely overboard with it. But that's the case for pretty much every spice.

 

[charlequin]

Why do Americans hate everything good? Coriander and now basil too?

People whose ethnic history originated in America love cilantro, it's the European immigrants who screwed it up for everybody.

(Honestly I'm not sure I'd consider cilantro to be generally "hated" in America given the popularity of Mexican foods that incorporate it.)

 

[3phemeral]

Do you even Pho bruh?

YES! Mountains of basil and bean sprouts on my Pho.

 

[kingwingin]

That's not how you spell cilantro

This is truth! Shit tastes like soap

 

[User 479360]

I just had basil last night, and it was great as always.

Extra spicy basil beef Thai...mmmm...

 

[PAULINK]

Man, I thought Neogaf was full of distinguished users with a refined palate, guess I was wrong.

[Huw_Dawson]

I think Basil is smashing.

Spoiler

Geddit?

 

[ScepticMatt]

I think some of the premade tomatoe sauces have way too much basil in them.
But I like I to use some fresh basil in sauces myself.

I'd argue that cilantro is even more guilty of being a taste hog in any dish its served in. Basil? Nah.

fuck cilantro

 

[Magic Mushroom]

I don't think there is a herb or spice that I can't stand.

 

[liliththepale]

Man, I thought Neogaf was full of distinguished users with a refined palate, guess I was wrong.

Why would you ever think that when you already knew you had an account here?

 

[6.8]

Basil is great. Tastes great in various Asian dishes as well.

Pho with basil yes please.

 

[BearFlexington]

That's not how you spell cilantro

Get out of my brain Charles!

 

[PdotMichael]

This applies to over half of the OT threads.

We have so many basil related threads?

 

[Wellscha]

Somebody start a Cilantro OT already, put these Cilantro haters in their place.

 

[lednerg]

I, too, disagree with the OP.

 

[BasilZero]

Why you hatin OP ;(?
