    There is no life without The Trinity! (onion, garlic, peppers)

    But there are people that just can’t eat some foods without digestive repercussions. And food tolerances can even change as we age. I used to love eating peanuts and other tree nuts. But as I have aged, my digestive tract can no longer tolerate eating them except in small amounts. But I now pile on the herbs and spices when I cook. I want strong bold flavors in my food as I have aged.

    Life, it seems is weird and changing.

    Onions and peppers? At that point you’re basically ordering ‘food, but with the flavor DLC removed.

      My sister made guacamole and wanted me to test it. I asked how much garlic it has and she said she never puts garlic in it. I could only convince her to put a tiny bit in but I would’ve easily doubled it.

          Garlic in guacamole is good. Put lime juice over your raw garlic and let it sit and mellow out.

          Nah, he’s a grumpy but kind libertarian (ACTUAL non-hypocrite libertarian who just wants to be left alone without hurting anyone and be self-sufficient, not the RL GOP kind) with three ex-wives all named Tammy and a significant fortune in gold buried somewhere.

          Of the many things he is, a Karen is thoroughly not one.

              Yeah, I can see how it could be interpreted that way out of context, but in context it’s a joke about how he has very old-fashioned breakfast habits, dialed up to 11 for increased hilarity 😁

      GERD… ugh.

      Got a horror story and a triumph regarding that.

      One of my oldest friends had GERD something terrible.

      Had a bleeding ulcer from it that nearly killed her at one point.

      Was put on Aciphex but it gave her terrible diarrhea with the hot shits regardless, so I suggested she try a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar after each meal. Goes down thermonuclear hot for 10 seconds or so but eases up quite fast.

      It seems counter-intuitive, but vinegar is a digestive, in that it aids digestion by being an acid base, and it also tempers the acid pumps in the stomach because again, it IS an acid, so they produce less.

      She was off the Aciphex inside of three weeks. Hot shits… gone.

      For general stomach soothing, I put a capful of Braggs apple cider vinegar into a cup of water before bed. It makes the water spry and slightly tangy. Works a charm for my stomach - esp when I eat out.

      Vinegar is the best!

    Onions I can to like thanks to guacamole. Never got to like bell peppers. I can tolerate most of them, but green is a no-go.

        They pretty much do taste the same. The red, orange and yellow are great to add to salads for a touch of color.

      The taste of green bell peppers is so inoffensive that it’s kind of amazing to me that there are people who specifically can’t eat them

        Well, it’s all subjective, of course. For me, if there’s the smallest amount in a dish, it will overpower everything else in the dish. A very little bit goes a very long way for my taste buds. So if someone were cooking with the “holy trinity,” they can probably cut the bell peppers by a ⅔ to 3/5 if they’re using the green ones.

        Yeah, that taste overpowers anything else in a dish for me. In some dishes, I can takes it, but I’m really sensitive to it.

    I eat white onions only if they are fully caramelized and dissolved into something, and red onions only raw. Peppers have to be spicy or I can’t eat them. That’s the weird one, I have no problem with the taste or anything but I just can’t swallow them its like my throat is trying to squish a rock or something. If it’s blended into something like hummus its fine though.

      This is kind of what its like for me. White onions, same as you, they need to be basically liquid/mush before i can eat them.

      Red onions however are the devil. I can’t stand them in any form.

      For me its an issue of texture, i hate how it feels to eat onions and peppers. I have been physically sick (vomited) because i bit into a bit of onion/pepper i didnt know was in my food. My body just rejects them.

      White onion= flavour good, texture bad (unless mush) Red onion= flavour bad, texture bad Pepper=flavour overpowering and i am never sure if i like it or not, texture bad.

        I actually only became able to eat them at age 26-27. One day they just didn’t taste like shit any more. Several other thibgs too, but still not brussel sprouts which just taste like dirty dishes or dishes left on a drying rack that have been splashed while washing other things.

    I thought only my mum didn’t eat onion. She eats like a toddler and thinks vegetables are something that happens to other people.
