Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I live in Japan and I can't stand natto. It seriously makes me want to puke. The last time I tried it, I was gagging and I was afraid I was gonna hurl.
I think that it's just unavoidable. Like I love mushrooms, but some people hate them with a passion. I wonder if it's something in people's DNA. It can also be cultural. Too many Japanese people despise cilantro/coriander for some reason. Yet I hate natto vehemently.
It's not related to race exclusively, around a quarter of people think cilantro tastes like soap. I can't stand cheesecake, I've literally vomited from it but almost everyone else loves it. Black licorice is loved or hated, lactose intolerance, dehydrogenese produced more in some people. We're all built different.
Same with Brussels sprouts- some people like them, others absolutely hate them.
I’m not a fan of cheesecake either. I don’t even like those danishes that have fruit and then some type of cheese. Gross.
I love cream cheese on bagels but yeah those danishes and that disgusting cream cheese frosting is not edible to me either.
I like everything bagels with cream cheese.
