Oddbean new post about login | logout hold up! you hate pesto?! let’s get to the bottom of this. who hurt you?
I have tried to understand but I don't ... I think it is rooted in the word. Peste is the Spanish word for stinky and it is all I can think of as I eat it. Outside of that I find the texture troubling
Well.. Well.. You’re not supposed to eat it directly. And I hope I’m not insulting someone important, but if there is a texture, it’s not done right.
I've had it on pizzas and sandwiches and many people with better palettes than mine swear by it. I think it is definitely a trauma of some kind but all I can think of is the word root and that the first time I tried it I was probably in my 20s
Our pesto has a bit of texture, but I like it. https://image.nostr.build/530eb79a63d01a871a376c91a1508873c5f1203470abff212fc415e7e7128cd9.jpg
Looks so good. I like some texture. Mmm
Also, I totally eat it off a spoon sometimes
Pesto is supposed to be a flavor paste. The same concept as seasoning salt, but for wet substances. herb, cheese, nut, roasted garlic, oil. All ready for addition as a flavor explosion 💥
when you say it like that I agree that it's amazing when it touches my tongue my cuban side yells why u eat stinky
that part must be written in Cuban Spanish. For authenticity.
Comemierda, solamente un anormalitico comería algo llamado peste
