    My partner has the same story about being horrified at and disappointed in Edmund, but I just don’t understand - Turkish Delight is such a treat.

    It’s soft and yielding with a delightful sweet rose flavor and the powdered sugar melts into syrup in your mouth. How do people not like it?

        To quote Guy Fierri regarding roses in food: “It tastes the way old furniture smells.”

            He has a sauce brand that was fantastic except they included little flavor bits of things like “actual onions and peppers” that would get stuck in the spout.

            This is why people use powdered chemicals you madlad!

        So you dislike the thing that I like. Well, well. Guess what? I absolutely despise the things that you like. And the things you love? I abhor them. You must be a brute, a philistine, a barbarian, not only to have such an uneducated palate, but to have the foolishness to admit it. Ha ha, truly! This person has different tastes! Very bizarre but also absolutely wrong.

          could be a cilantro tastes like soap or a broccoli tastes like sewage kind of thing.

          the cilantro one is genetic supposedly, the broccoli is that one guy on lemmy and I still want to know if its also genetic or any other reason but there probably aren’t enough people with the correct skill set that care enough to figure it out.

          I also don’t like rose in food but its mainly because someone I always hated as a kid, and still don’t want to be anywhere near, smelled like rose

            I love cilantro, but the taste of rose makes me think of potpourri and soap in old lady’s bathrooms. I’ve had rose flavored Turkish delight before, and it was okay, but I much prefer the other flavors.

            Most cilantro soap people are considered super tasters. We can detect the bitter tasting compound in a lot of vegetables easier than most.

      I don’t even like the non-rose flavors, but the rose is absolutely disgusting. Literally tastes like someone sprayed perfume in your mouth.
