You need background information. First, my friend Rob Radosti doesn’t like cilantro at all. He seems about as averse to it as I am to cow’s milk. Next, a salad recipe that I really like a lot:
Mix
1 bag mixed salad
Trader Joe’s Creamy Cilantro Salad dressing
Shredded Mexican cheese blend (to taste, I like to taste it, so I add a lot)
Freshest Salsa you can find
Tortilla chips added on the table (I like to toast them in the oven to ensure crispiness)
Tonight’s conversation with my wife Carol:
“I hope we have enough salad dressing for the cilantro salad” I said.
Carol responds, “I don’t really like the cilantro salad.”
“What?” I said, honestly surprised, I thought she liked it as much as I do! “I guess you and Rob could start a group of cilantro haters.”
“Well, it isn’t really the cilantro, it’s alright. I actually don’t like the salsa in it.” she said. I guess I looked at her funny because she explained herself. “It tastes like it fell out of a taco. It makes me want my taco back!” I burst out in uncontrollable laughter.
Now I wrote it all out here, line by line and you know what? It was funnier at the time. I wish you’d been there, you would have laughed too.
By way of a brief amendment; we didn't eat Cilantro salad tonight.
