What herbs/spices do you absolutely hate?
 
I abhor rosemary. It stinks and tastes like soap. It permeates anything it is in and makes it inedible for me. I tried flashing the disgusting stuff in a bit of olive oil to get rid of the soapy taste. However the stench was still there. I guess you can tell that I REALLY don't like it.

I'm not a big fan of cardamon either. It's a bit strong for me.

I do like a bit of saffron from time to time. However, unless you get the threads or pay an arm and a leg, you are probably paying for tumeric.

I love rosemary! But I hate cilantro. Ick. Its another "permeates everything" sort of herb.

Glory87 01-30-2007 01:55 PM

Fennel, anise.

OREGANO!! BLEH!!

RidiculouslyAddicted 01-30-2007 02:08 PM

Cilantro for me, too!
Also, not a fan of ginger.

For some reason, Thyme and me don't click. I also don't care for Parsley but I love Cilantro.

Fennel, & curry does not agree with me

I absolutely can not stand cilantro in anything except salsa where it belongs, and even then, not too much.

I do not like cloves in my ham or anywhere else. Yuck!

I love rosemary on a roast :T

I think anything used to excess is icky.

I had a friend who brought in bunches of fresh cilantro to work once and I thought I'd gag from the smell. It took a long time before I'd taste it, but I do like it, especially in salsa.

I have a couple recipes that call for fennel and rosemary and I had to go and buy those because I didn't have any on hand. I wonder if that means they are something that I didn't like in the past? I don't remember.

I like cardamom in a Swedish Christmas bread that my Mom makes--oh, so yummy and if you forget the cardamom, the taste just isn't right.

Ginger (fresh) actually turns my stomach if there is too much of it in the dish.

Anise. Hate, hate anise.

Not too fond of sage.

Adore cilantro but it makes my throat close up and I wheeze. I guess that's not a good thing, so I avoid it.

Another anise, fennel HATER here. Also curry.

Wolfena 01-30-2007 03:23 PM

I don't like rosemary either... or fennel.

I can only take ginger in TEENSY amounts.

:)

I can't stand cumin. Even the tiniest speck ruins a dish for me. I also hate fresh parsley, though I don't mind dried.

Ruthxxx 01-30-2007 03:45 PM

I grow lots of herbs and just love all of them. Too much of anything is hard to take though!

shrinkingchica 01-30-2007 07:40 PM

Wow, Anise is really unpopular. I hate it as well.

Also, shallots and anything else in the onion family. Yuck.
