Something I need to remember more consistently: I don't really like quinoa. It tastes mealy and squiggly and oddly wormy and I don't like having it in my mouth. Blerg.

I think it's gross too. I know the naturalliving people are all over it, but it tastes like cardboard.

[tisiphone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it does. And it looks kind of like roundworms :(

[noveldevice.livejournal.com]

Ew. Thanks for that mental image.

I didn't find the texture slimy or whatever, just unpleasant, and oh god, the cardboardiness.

I really like it,and i'm not all earthy crunchy...OK, a little, but never sacrificing taste. I find it's nasty if overcooked tho

I have a texture Thing. I am, basically, extremely disgusted by slimy or wiggly textures.

I have to consistently remind myself that I don't like prime rib. Because I love steak and it's called PRIME rib, ffs.

[tisiphone.livejournal.com]

I forget that too! It's so weird, because it always sounds so good and you get it and it's a fatty lump of fatty fat fat. Arg.

I love prime rib, though cutting the fat off ends up taking forever. But it's one of the few steaks that consistently ends up as rare as I like it, so that makes me happy.

Me too, although I can cope with it. I just think it's the world's most inferior substitute for rice.

I've never had it but it's been on my "must try" list. I can't stand anything slimy, slippery or wiggly (yes, I mean you jello). I might have to rethink having this on my list. They always say it's so nutty and nutritious; I just realized that no one talks about it's mouth feel.

Good to know. I've never had it but I almost bought some at the store yesterday. I'm glad I didn't now.

Well, a lot of people like it well enough. Liv adores it. I just find its texture unbearable.
