This is an excellent example of a great black & white cookie...

Poured fondant (dark chocolate)...that has snap...bite & the cookie crumbles.

Roll over cookie and let's see the evah so important cookie behind...

Nice & firm with no extra junk in the trunk.

Sorry cookies you belong in the Post Office...

Yup, liking or hating cilantro is actually a genetic thing. There is no medium, either...if you like it, you love it. If you're the rest of us, it tastes like waxy lemon soap. Blech. I've gotten to the point where I can choke down a couple of pieces, if it was used as a decoration on top of some salsa, but I can't eat anything in which it's an actual ingredient.

Bill, Such a nice thought. Not your dying.

Greg... it's a chemical intolerance or something like that. You either like it or HATE it. You know how much I love food, but cilantro kills everything for me.

I've tried to like it. It won't work.

I've been dying to go to Killer Cafe a breakfast/lunch spin-off of Killer Shrimp. I already knew what I wanted and there it was on the top of the menu. I didn't need to read any further.

I wanted the breakfast burrito. It's made with scrambled eggs and killer shrimp.

I ask the waitress if there's any cilantro, beans or rice in it. "No, just cheese."

Perfect! I order it. It arrives and it looks great... except for the green stuff poking out. You guessed it... cilantro. I don't take a bite. When she gets closer I tell her that I cannot eat it. I don't normally send back food, but I just could not eat it.

She pokes at it! Oh... it's in the Pico de Gallo. I tell her again that there's no way I can eat it.

She apologizes, says it's not a problem and gets me another without the cilantro. Not a problem until I start eating it.

HUH??? Where are the shrimp? I pull it apart and it's egg, underdone bacon, avocado and cheese. I tell my friend, Nancy that it's wrong again. She said... no, that's what you ordered... the breakfast burrito.

What I wanted was the Killer Shrimp Breakfast Burrito, not the Breakfast Burrito.

It was my fault! I picked at it leaving a pile or raw bacon on my plate.

When the waitress comes by she asks what the problem was. I told her and suggested that if anyone else orders a breakfast burrito.... Ask them if they want shrimp or bacon. If I see what I want on the top of the menu, I'm not reading the rest of it. I didn't know that there were two breakfast burritos.

I told her that it was my fault. She said, no.. she should have known there were two breakfast burritos and she should have asked.

She took it off the bill.

I left her a 50% tip.

I still want my Killer Shrimp Breakfast Burrito!

PS... That brick on the side is extra crispy hash browns.

Mar, I thought of you the other day, I was choking on a piece of Cilantro, you came to mind. You would have been the last person I thought of if I died.

Two eggs whisked with a bit of 1/2 and 1/2 fresh ground sea salt and black pepper. 1 slice of gouda and two slices of precooked Boarshead bacon cut up for the omelet filling. Two slices of Italian toast with I can't believe it's not butter w/olive oil and Smuckers natural concord grape spread. A glass of 2% milk and 2 cups of 8 oclock french roast.

Mar,
Cilantro is Soooooooooo good. I dont know why you dont care for it as it adds a lot to the Mexican cooking! We recently planted a ton of Cilantro in our garden and I'll soon have enough to feed an a Army!
Any way.......... that Burrito looks very tasty but its so tiny!
I wish sometime you could come and visit us and I'd have the Wife make you a Burrito that you would find SO delicious that you would be begging for more!
I personally like cheese in mine and rice (NO beans) and as you know when I order my Chorizo Burritos I always get them with cheese! The way they serve them (depending on the cook) is: Chorizo (I have NO idea how he does it but the Chorizo does not ooze/drip grease) with cheese and sliced/diced potatoes!

I remember you posting about Killer Shrimp! Those shrimp really look outstanding!

That cilantro is some bad stuff. I never really have to be on the lookout at home...but I have learned to wave that off as many ways as possible.

Breakfast was a buttermilk doughnut.

I wonder which was the worse breakfast health-wise: protein but with bacon fat or high carbs with veg fat...

Greg, do you eat prosciutto?

Absolutely not!

Then I guess you don't care much for steak tartare or carpaccio. Pity.

I'm sorry my friend but I find those types of foods absolutely disgusting!

I must admit that I first had steak tartare in Brussels. It was a little more than I could handle. My Belgium friends really enjoyed it and I know others do but I had personal issues with it. It was seasoned nicely but regardless??

Paul, I know that taste very well.

A few weeks ago a friend sent us some salmon jerky. Now I love salmon and I love lox but one taste of that nasty jerky lasted the entire day.

Nasty is too nice of a word.

But you never considered the six pack as the culprit?

MAR: Yes but the aftertaste of the salmon remains. Why? I am not sure but it does. To this day I have not bought salmon of any type.

I would consider Michael Hoffman an expert when it comes to most food. Big difference between lightly smoked and cold smoked.

Quite frankly I have not been a fan of any type of salmon for several years. about 25 years ago a friend and I was driving down the coast line of Oregon and California, we stopped at a road side place selling smoked salmon. We stopped and bought a pound along with a six pack. For some reason, we both got extreme indigestion and every since then, the thought of Salmon does not work for me. Very personal though as I know many of you totally enjoy it.

First off.. Lox is not raw. That is the sandwich of Gods.

Your sandwich will kill you eventually.

Lightly smoked is still considered as RAW!
Yes........ Spam will kill me eventually but if you over eat ANYTHING in excess .......it will kill you............ P/Butter eaten in excess will also kill you! It's not as if I eat Spam on a daily basis......... your arguement holds NO water Mar!

Well, there's a good bit of water being held. You see, lox isn't lightly smoked. It's cold smoked, and that means cooked. And I happen to like Spam, and Treet -- and I even liked Prem and Mor, not to mention Swift's Camp Pie.

But first you must look in to the "why".

OK......... I;m still sticking to my guns here............
Here is a good example of three things dont belong together on a sandwich or in this case a Bagel............ (you notice I said "together)
Raw Salmon, Cream Cheese and a Red Onion......... as someone else said........... to each their own but IMHO....... that is just plain gross!

Now HERE is a good sandwich............... Fried Spam, topped with a well done egg, tomato, mayo and some nicely melted preferably med. to sharp cheddar.

Re:What's for BREAKFAST...??? (CCJPO)

The "why" of Spam is primarily due to the fact that there was very little fresh meat to serve to the troops during World War II, therefore it was necesary to either provide canned meat or let the troops depend on their hunting skills to provide meat for themselves. My father used to talk about eating local game, horse, skinny ass cattle, whatever could be had while he was in France and Germany during the war. Spam was the alternative. It then became very popular in the Islands for the same reason, little or no fresh meat available. Spam or SOS was a staple for sunday morning breakfast at our home. I still eat both today, although my preferred is SOS. My beautiful bride and our two sons refuse/refused to eat eiter, however the grandchildren love both of them. I guess there is no accounting for taste!!!!!
