a couple who lived next door to us, they worked for Budweiser/Anheuser Busch up in Van Nuys, and they were on the science end of things. Talked about how every year because of variances in crops and water and what not, they had to tweak the formula in order to maintain the consistent flavor of Budweiser that America has come to know and love.

Bilger found that Jean-Marie Rock — at the time, the brewmaster at Orval, a Trappist brewery in Belgium that produces some of most beloved beer in the world — doesn’t just appreciate Bud’s consistency, he also legitimately enjoys consuming it. “Tell them that the brewer at Orval likes Budweiser!” he said.
tbf budweiser is one of only a very very few tolerable mass-market lagers

maybe we could seduce them out of hiding w/ a special thread like: "Dear Lurkers Only - what are your 5 favorite albums? Don't worry you don't have to post anything anywhere else ever again." but of course once they do post then we know who they are and we can keep calling their names until they're forced to continue to participate mock them relentlessly.

i have a question for ppl who do like it -- doesn't it overwhelm the taste of everything else when you eat it?
I think the trick with cilantro is just to use it as a garnish. Don't ever dump a bunch of it in your food while it's cooking, or it will overwhelm everything. But a bit of chopped raw cilantro complements a lot of foods nicely: Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, Mexican being a few.
― o. nate, Saturday, 11 February 2017 01:39 (seven years ago) link
nah, cilantro is great when dumped in sauces
― Sufjan Grafton, Saturday, 11 February 2017 01:49 (seven years ago) link
There are some good sauces made with a healthy amount of raw cilantro, true - like various salsas or Indian chutneys. I was talking about dumping a lot of it right into your main dish as it's cooking. That I wouldn't advise.
― o. nate, Saturday, 11 February 2017 01:57 (seven years ago) link
there are good cooked sauces too like methi murgh and poblano sauces
― Sufjan Grafton, Saturday, 11 February 2017 02:13 (seven years ago) link
suppose the amount in those could be considered garnish, though

iirc i heard cilantro started being used with meat because it could cover up the rotting meat smell pre refridgeration? not sure if apocryphal

long-time lurker, recent opinion: i've been harvesting recommendations for years from ilm. i know whose taste i love (tyler, the guy with the doom from the tomb blog; bradnelson emo, etc.) i'm not a music critic. or rather i haven't spent two decades thinking about music through the lens of a critical vocabulary. so it feels weird to post an opinion. it feels juvenile.

I joined in 2007. I was at one of the lowest points in my life and was googling things like "I am sad" and "I am lonely" etc. One day I made a conscious decision to turn that around and google things that I actually liked instead, and I googled "I love music". It was a move that exponentially enriched my life.

basically this place has it's own language. jumping in you have to be both guileless and weirdly confident (like LJ). i think it's probably hard for folks.

One last thing: people have asked me for ten years where I 'found' the music I listen to. I've invariably directed them here with the caveat that 'it's hard to get into.' No one has ever spoken of ilxor again to me.

one of my first memories of ilxor lingo was the term fap, meaning fancy a pint. now that was confusing. I also get the sense i'm one of the only "new" people on this board, think i first joined around june or something after seeing it talked about on The Singles Jukebox, which has a lot of ilx posters

Another mostly lurker here, like lion in winter I've been leeching ilm for info for a while. Found it by googling in 2012 and browsed it every now and then, registered and started checking it out daily in 2014.
i haven't spent two decades thinking about music through the lens of a critical vocabulary. so it feels weird to post an opinion. it feels juvenile.
otm
I fell I'm an extreme example of that mindset, I lack any critical skills not just for music but for anything else really, and rarely have anything more interesting to say than "I like/don't like this".
