FUCK YOU YES IT IS
errbody’s been going apeshit and emailing me this fucking joke of an article in today’s NYT. (let’s not forget that NPR ran this same “blame it on your genes you stupid fucking crybabies” article back in 2008.)
luckily, The Awl knows what’s up:
THIS JUST IN: a life without an adventuresome palette is a life barely lived. DUH.So, really, it’s not that you’re an unrefined hick, it’s more that your genes are lacking in culture. The article suggests several options by which you can allow yourself to appreciate the subtle majesty of cilantro, but it seems like a lot of work and we know you’d be much happier sticking to regular parsley, right? I wouldn’t trouble yourself too much about it, you boorish culinary xenophobe.
