    Nope, I've eaten soap, and it tastes nothing like coriander.

    So far Salmiak shots are bringing back memories of Flaming Sambuca Shots minus the fire, to which I might add;
    "not for me.."

    Sambuca is anise, isn't it? It is not at all the same as liquorice and salmiak. Raki, ouzo, Sambuca etc are not really the same as Fish- and Salmiak shots which both are very close in taste to Jäger.

    All this talk about seafood has got me hungry for sweet & sour seafood combo with stir fry vegies over rice.

    That's what I had for dinner yesterday and that's what I am having again tonight.

    I see; still.

    I like my vodka with milk and Kahluá a.k.a White Russian; Might be tempted to try a Fisherman's shot; but then, you only live once, right?
    I also like mixing vodka with tomato juice for a Bloody Mary, or with Tabasco sauce, for a different kind of Bloody Mary; or with OJ - for a Screwdriver.
    Was a time I wouldn't mix my vodka with anything and I was the guy who invented the pint of vodka.
    Also I had big hair, didn't care and played a lot of guitar.

    I agree in an omelette, but I've never had it in spaghetti sauce before. I like to put meat in my spaghetti sauce, especially Italian sausage.

    I don't think weed would be a good addition to your pasta. :laughing:

    When I make a spaghetti sauce, it generally has peppers, onions, tomatoes (in addition to sauce), spinach, sometimes zucchini, in addition to browned ground beef, meatballs or Italian sausage. That way you are adding to your veggie quota for the day.

    Coriander and cilantro are the same thing. In U.S. usage, the seeds are known as coriander, and the leaves are called cilantro. That said, I don't taste the soap, and I have tasted soap. I guess I don't have that gene. As the article said, most people don't taste the "soapy" taste, only 14% do.

    Basically, we are both right on the issue. I don't taste cilantro (coriander) as soapy, you might.

    These are British, like Skittles.
    Black licorice puts Europe to shame though, but UK steps in and saves it.

    Brits only do sweet liquorice which is a huge shame to the family of candies. Only good thing Brits have ever contributed to the candy-market is Winegums. :D

    I see Americans calling those things American though, which is a huge bonus to the world they have them, but, that's British sweets.

    If you ever go into a supermarket on another continent... It can be interesting to see different brand names with the same logo.
