How old are you? And are you a little boy?

It is what you prepare around it. All grains are boring when standing alone. This recipe is fool proof. I have sent this to people more times than I can count.

Vulgar though? Strange choice of words.

I prepare quinoa in the pressure cooker with chicken broth. It is a whole different dish prepared this way. I won't eat quinoa any other way.

1) Vulgar connotes without manners or class. Vulgar doesn't quite fit quinoa, which is pretty far from cheap and classless.

2) You may not like the bitterness from inadequate rinsing. I buy pre-washed quinoa, and then rinse it again in a fine-meshed strainer.

3) Quinoa is really tasty if you treat it as part of a salad--with an acid (lime or lemon) and olive oil, finely chopped veggies (red peppers, scallions), something sweet (dried apricots), and something crunch (toasted almonds).

I'd rather eat quinoa than oatmeal. This recipe is pretty good:

Whether you like a food or not is a matter of personal palate.

Slurring other people's palates with words like "vulgar" is just bitchy.

I am intrigued. What are you talking about?


My guess is pasta salad.

WTH is wrong with your toenail clippings?

Agree - not vulgar, vile. And the taste of prosciutto is vulgar.

I love quinoa. Whole grain pasta, however, is just horrid.
