    Spices you hate

    I’ll start with "spices you hate".

    Curry

    I can’t stand it. The smell and taste.

    ”No, but you need to try [this] curry.”

    Nope. 🤣

      Not sure if I have ever been around curry.

      Ginger- bad after taste, I replace with Allspice in a all recipes

      Not a spice but RoseMary- same bad after taste as Ginger, I replace with Thyme

        Rosemary is ok in small doses. But understand!

        Find a restaurant that serves food from India, guarantee the place will be drowning in curry.

          klflowers I have, and it is very similar. However sweet potatoes don't grow as well in my climate as pumpkins do. I plant a variety called 'Winter Luxury' to make my pies.

          We do like pumpkin and sweet potato pies...similar flavors IMO. I have an old recipe for a crustless pumpkin pie that’s really good!!!

        Rosemary for me. It feels like I'm eating pine needles. Looks like it too.....

          I hate it whole, or even chopped. But I buy it ground in bulk for making Memphis Dust and love it in that application.

          Sadly, we no longer have Euell Gibbons, to advise us, in such pine matters...

          A loss seldom noted, but a loss, nonetheless... RIP Brother...

          Yeah what's up with that, you don't like pine needles ?

        Nutmeg. And I’m not a fan of allspice.

        With both of those on the list, it’s no surprise I’m not so much in love with pumpkin pie spice either.

        I used to think cilantro tasted like soap, but now I’m okay with it. I read that that is fairly common with cilantro.

          Cilantro tasting like soap is a genetic trait, that as Homey points out affects 15% of the population, including my mom.

          What is strange is that it doesn’t taste like soap any more. Now I like it. I’ve read that isn’t uncommon, for that taste to change.

          I read that it's common for Jewish people not to like it. I have a friend who says it smells like sweaty gym shoes. He's Jewish.

        Caraway seed. Can't stand it. Main reason I didn't eat rye bread most of my life.

          I have a GF that thinks the same... So I'm like..."Eh, why not just get rye bread without the caraway?" She hated it so much growing up that she didn't even know that was a thing.

        Coriander, believe you guys call it cilantro. I'm one of the unfortunate genetic deviants that it tastes like soap too. My wife too so unfortunately my daughter has no chance.

          The seed is coriander, the plant is cilantro.

          Not over here in the UK or a large part of Europe. You have coriander seeds and coriander itself.

          The leaf is fine, I don't like the seeds.

          I just realized there was another interpretation to this comment ...

        I have yet to meet a spice I didn't like, a least that I can remember. One of the Daughters can taste the smallest amount of cumin in a recipe. She says it tastes like butt (not the pork kind). And I love and cook a lot of Mex.

          My daughter tells me that something tastes like butt and I ask her how she knows? She hates the flavors of peppers: bell peppers, hot peppers, hates them all. Husband hates cilantro; I will use it like lettuce. . .

          Duuuude, long story short... I lived in a condo with my wife. Once a week, at random times, we’d get this SMELL. I honestly thought it was rotting mice in the attic. It was raunchy.

          I investigated, but nothing turned up the culprit. Then, it happened again, and I was determined to find the source. I had the courage to ask the guy below me. I went into his condo and it wasn’t him.

          But then I went one below him and he opened the door and THE SMELL HIT ME. That was IT!

          Skipped floor 2 and went into mine on floor 3! He was cooking curry. And the family was Jamaican. SUPER nice family, but we had to get out of that condo for that (and many many other reasons).

          Yeah I get it, there’s a lot of Indian/Pakistani families in this area the curry they use makes me wretch but Jamaician I do enjoy

          texastweeter - Ha! I have 2 different types of cardamom and I have the green one in 3 different forms - whole pod, seeds and ground + and I use it fairly often since in a LOT of South Asian dishes. I don't mind it at all, but I don't want to be biting into any whole pods! I try really hard to fish them out before serving. Fortunately, there aren't usually very many in any one dish - 3-4.

        Cloves. It takes over a recipe in a heartbeat.
