Enough About Me ...

If one doesn't cook the crap out of chicken, it actually tastes like chicken. A taste so fine that if you create a little tower and place it upon a bed of wilted kale, you could charge £29.95 for it. I cannot say the same for tofu. That seems to taste like the chicken everyone is talking about. Dress it up anyway you like, call it a frog leg, one bite and the response is, "tastes like chicken." I'm not quite keen on what the conspiracy is here, but the phrase should really read, "tastes like fermented soy bean" or if chicken really is the flavour ( this European spelling brought to you by ikeepitreal ) than the phrase should be, "tastes like unhappy caged chicken cooked in a pan on high."

Of course I only know this about chicken because I know this hunky aussie guy who cooks it for me. Perhaps that can be the distinction. Chicken actually tastes like chicken when it's cooked really well by some aussie bloke who calls it a chook.

When I cook chicken it tastes like soot.


as a follow up ...
Upon further review, Diet Caffeine Free Coke contains Potassium Benzoate to protect the taste. I stand corrected. It does have taste and it's so valuable it needs protection. From what, I do not know, but curious what it tastes like.
