Reality Check by Dave Whamond for January 27, 2025

Aversion to cilantro?! Well, I have lost all respect for The Man of Steel, now.

Not checking for Kryptonite, The Man of Steel must be getting rusty.

General Tso’s chicken, from CityChinese Kitchen, strikes again.

Cilantro is NASTY!!! One of the worst things ever.

Too much MSG!

… it’s okay, I’m over the Kryptonite… but we’re still splitting the check two ways, right?

Aha. Just what the alien astronut theorists has always suspected.

kung pao kryptonite…

On a date with Wonder Woman, I would not be thinking about eating stir fry

Made cilantro pesto once. It was wonderful…

Tarragon the Terrible won’t make anything taste better.

So have I.

For me, it’s onions. I hate everything about them. And they hate me. It was always a fight between Mom and I.

“Aversion” is a good word here …!

Supperman.

No, just an ounce or two of Monosodium Glutamate … I’ll get a few Imitrex shots immediately and a mouthful of Excedrin-Migraine.

I’m guessing he’s a supertaster.

Or maybe Koriand’r just puts up a tough fight.

I just wish people would understand that all taste is subjective, and that just because someone introduced or “discovered” something new doesn’t mean everyone is going to fall in love with it. The first time I tasted cilantro somebody put it in chicken salad. I sent it back, thinking the chicken had gone bad. Hasn’t gotten any better since.

Cilantro tastes like vomit.

It’s genetic, not just my weird preference.

There is a Chinese dish called Westlake Beef Soup that has lots of cilantro, I love it!!!

I’m sitting here eating Walker’s shortbread scotties by the handful just to get the taste of this comic out of my mouth! :)
