I know natto is good for you and most of my family (on the Japanese side) eats it regurarly. But I find the smell of natto repulsive and it gags me. I hate natto, never tried it, never will. Anyone else hate natto?

and wanted another immediately. I’ve also had their chocolate tart topped with raspberries. It was wonderful — not too heavy or filling, yet still rich. And the taste of the raspberries was a great contrast. They...

I bought a suspiciously cheap 10kg sack of “Siam Smile” brand Thai perfumed rice. I’ve been cooking it in a my rice cooker, which for the past 15 years has produced perfect rice every time with very approximate...

the whole rearranging of the main page is gawd awful...very confusing, and FAR from user friendly. aside from that it’s perfect, who at chowhound has too m uch time on their hands???

Four of us went tonight. And perhaps I had my expectations set too high; I had read a bunch of ravings on this board. None of us would define ourselves as connoisseurs, but we all like to go out to eat, three of us are natives...

I’m looking for a recipe for a cookie that I can use a cookie cutter on and decorate with icing. That simple, or so it seems. The only recipes that I am finding are for sugar cookies! What about a girl who hates them? No...

Virtually no posts at all and only one in the last year. I’m obliged to go tonight with some friends. What’s not to be missed (or at least what should I order given the choices) and what’s to be avoided?

I’m going to Gradisca tonight and a quick search revealed absolutely no posts with dish recommendations since 2003. For those of you who have been more recently than that, which dishes can’t be missed? Which are to be...

You’re both exactly right. Anyone who reads both of your reviews (ie, LOVED and HATED Coi) can tell that you both feel strongly about your experiences and I defy anyone to determine that one of your experiences was more or...

i got some chicken liver to make bolognese and i had to buy a whole bag of them even though i only needed two. what can i make that even i can eat and please others at the same time. and remember i HATE liver...

Disclaimer: wax is not covered in this post. I just hate the idea of circumcising a wine bottle. To be more precise: waste time and skills in order to cut a circumference around the capsule, leaving most of it intact except for a...

It seems like a lot of people are aghast at anyone who uses a garlic press. I’ve been using one forever and I think they’re great. Martha Stewart says they’re wasteful, and I can kind of see her point since...

Hating right along with you, I am I am! Look, it’s tasty enough. But the obession with NO substitutions is a pain-in-the-arse. And the seating situation there – good gawd, forget-about-it. The Pug at Hungry Cat and the...

I chose black formica as there were little choices here (I live on a Caribbean island). I hate it..the only time it looks good is when it is wet. Otherwise it holds water stains, scratches easily and well, the guy did a crappy...

I posted on this board looking for a taco stand that had awesome fried tacos in OC. No one responded. I read a thread on Tito’s Tacos and most of you hated the place and did not talk favorably of the food. Last night we had a...
