Dill has a gasoline taste? Never heard that before. Perhaps it's a genetic thing like some people finding cilantro tastes like soap?Sorry. This is petty and very autistic, I know.
This constant ‘dill’ talk bothered me. Dill is not a Middle Eastern spice. At all. It isn’t a widely used herb. It’s used really only used in Scandewegian cooking, some other European dishes, and has an odd taste that doesnt go with many things. Fish is what is accompanied by dill, mostly.
So I just checked 10 different Middle Eastern Cabbage Roll recipes to satisfy my curiosity. Nope. No dill anywhere to be seen.
There is, however:
Chantal was not in delight over dill. She was not eating it.
- Mint
- Cumin
- Allspice (no dill there)
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Tumeric
- Cardamom
- And Seven Spice…….contains cloves, coriander, nutmeg among other things that aren’t dill.
So what was she mistaking for dill?
Possibly the coriander. I can’t believe she doesn’t know mint, although maybe in combination with other spices it might be that she is tasting mint. It’s in half the recipes I found. They all have coriander….seeds. Not leaf. Ground, roast coriander seeds could be mistaken for a dill taste….maybe. Especially if there was ground clove. Clove is a strong, unusual taste and might be giving hints of that sort of petrol-like (gasoline) taste like dill has. (Sorry dill enthusiasts. I don’t like dill. I find it just tastes like gasoline smells.)
Anyone have any thoughts on her weird assumption she was eating dill?
Am I wrong and there’s a rogue branch of Kuwaitis who even know dill is. Arabs don’t eat dill.
I’ve never had to dye the word ‘dill’ so much or even ever before….anyway. Sorry. Thank you for indulging my petty, autistic Dill obsession "
And I’ll let you get back to your usual Chantal programming.
Anyhow--I don't think it's all that deep. As Gunt doesn't know what *anything* is I figure Nads tried to teach her a thing or two, which Gunty promptly fucked up. Nads cooks with dill a lot (mostly in things that shouldn't have dill in them), Chins remembers "dill", so now everything has dill. In trying to sound "smart" she shows herself to be the idiot she is. This is not a new phenomenon.
Besides the fact she can't taste anything anyway due to a ruined palate and her usual speed eaiting.
