I guess she’s not making Chinese pork stew with carrots anytime soon then. Too bad.
I met some Buddhists in Taiwan who don’t eat garlic. That was new.
I used to go to an indian vegetarian buffet and they made a note of the dishes that didn't include garlic and onions.
Its been years since we moved out of that town, but I assumed it must have been some prohibition against pulling out root vegetables? But then again carrots....
Google is my friend. If you experience garlic and onions as stimulants...well damn, you're living on one super-sensitive plane of existence!

I was told that the “fire” from garlic produces lust.
I guess your link about them being almost an intoxicant is pretty close.

Yeah, that won't be on the menu any time soon I'm afraid. When she eats mooncake she won't have the kind with the yolk inside either.
On the bright side, she uses a lot of mock meats (Beyond, Impossible, etc.), and they're getting so good now that I don't necessarily miss the real thing anymore.

I like some of that stuff. I’m also looking forward to lab grown meats even though it creeps some people out. do we have a thread on lab grown? We should.

Since it’s lab grown… does that mean we can also ethically find out what human meat tastes like?
I’ll see myself out now.

Often, under the influence of wine, Liu Ling would behave in a completely free and unrestrained manner, sometimes even stripping off his clothes and sitting stark naked in the middle of his room. Once, when others saw him in this state and chided him for it, Ling famously retorted, "Heaven and Earth are my pillars and roof, my house and its rooms are my trousers and jacket. Pray, what are you gentlemen doing in my trousers?"

from Zhuangzi, Section 2 (Burton Watson Translation)
There is a beginning. There is not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is being. There is nonbeing. There is a not yet beginning to be nonbeing. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be nonbeing. Suddenly there is a being and nonbeing. But between this being and nonbeing, I don't really know which is being and which is nonbeing. Now I have just said something. But I don't know whether what I have said has really said something or whether it hasn't said something.
a total keyboard tongue twister.

The Walmart Great Value brand is indeed, well, a great value. Only three some odd bucks Canadian and it makes like... a billion cups of coffee. It tastes surprisingly decent, too.
