44. you're not the first person i've heard about having an aversion to parmesan, though to me it's such a mild taste
Fri Aug 9, 2024, 06:23 PM
Aug 2024

then again, everyone's tastes are different. i like cilantro, but to mrs. unblock, it tastes like soap. some genetic thing. to me it tastes absolutely nothing like soap but yeah, people are different.

me, i like a good alfredo sauce. mrs. unblock prefers the more assertive cheeses, mostly bleu cheeses, but she has no problem with parmesan. though i've known people who hated parmesan but were fine with cheeses like "stinky bishop", which makes no sense to me, but hey, people are different.

Onions. If I find out there are onions in something, especially raw ones, I won't touch it. Ocelot II Aug 2024 #1
