Lettuce tastes like dirt?

I've gotta subscribe to this just so I can see how it turns out.

........or until you can pounce on us all with your pipebomb!


At least your iceburg lettuce tastes like something. Mine has no flavor, no nutritional value, no use at all really except to try to keep the bunnies out of the rest of my garden. maybe I can use Keysbum's giant mod to smoke em out or swat them all to your end of the earth.

Seriously, there is no reason to eat iceburg lettuce anyway. It's got nothing your body needs. Maybe it's less about your tastebuds returning and more about your body telling you it just doesn't want to bother with it anymore.

omg.....I just recommended somebody upgrade to a better lettuce! Where's the Provari lettuce at?

Charlz, if I didn't know any better I'd think you are getting jealous. Bigger is better.

But Iceberg Lettuce is grown on Iceburgs. Everyone knows that. So why would it Taste Like Dirt?

I'm Sorry. But I can't Trust Anyone who Eats Asparagus.

I have been on an asparagus binge all fall into winter....always grilled -- can't get enough.

Did you know that asparagus makes your pee smell horendous?

Boy, I just hijacked...okay, back to lettuce!

Hi Folks

Lately my wife and I have noticed that lettuce tastes rather unpleasant. It has an nasty "earthy" taste. Previously it tasted pretty neutral, not much taste at all. Lettuce is pretty much off the menu now.

Cheers

It's funny how some foods I used to like are now off the menu since I started vaping. Iceberg lettuce has always tasted like nothing to me. I grow some lettuce myself but not iceberg. I still have some other varieties growing here in Virginia in January! Try some different varieties like Romaine; Buttercrunch; Salad Bowl and salad Bowl Red; Black Seeded Simpson; Mesculun Mix or as someone else mentioned, Arugula. Iceberg is for rabbits. Sorry, off topic, I know. Returning you to your previously scheduled thread...

I think that all vegetables taste like dirt, but then again I've never been able to smell (anosmia). It all tastes like wet cardboard paper.

My too I can't stand most vegetables..although I've always had a great since of smell..I wasn't born with eyes in the front of my head to be a rabbit and eat lettuce..I'm an almost pure carnivore

Sorry, Charlz, I didn't see your post about keeping the bunnies out of the rest of your garden. Plant it as a barrier, right? I have a dog that does that for me.

What a bizarre little thread




Tell me more!

Yes, we have eyes on the front of our heads (a characteristic of a predator) but with my stereo vision I chose to be an omnivore. If it doesn't eat me first, I might try it.

 

[Charlz]

ok.....so proof that you can post anything on these threads and we will dissect, debate and offer some better options.

Tell me.....who won the bet?

Yeah I'm omnivore too but I lean heavily on the carnivore side of it lmao..after all pizza is made mostly with things that grow in the ground and I love jalapenos by themselves on pizza or in some other things...

That rack of ribs I had for dinner tonight had a little tomato in the BBQ sauce.

Hey everyone... Thanks for the laugh.

As for the OP... That sucks. I love lettuce! Hopefully switching it up will help!

Did you know that asparagus makes your pee smell horendous?

...to say nothing of the taste!

Just give your mouth some time to heal and readjust. I ate a lot of red meat as a smoker. I thought the Chantix messed me up for awhile. It took about six months before I could eat red meat after quiting. Some things tasted better while others tasted funny to me.

Lettuce tastes more bitter than before, but I'm enjoying the organic varieties. (Maybe I'm tasting residual bug spray?)

I also noticed, about a month after I started vaping exclusively, it seemed my favorite mexican restaurant had upped the heat from 'Hot as Hell' to something more accurately described as 'Spontaneous Combustion'! I'm ok after my tongue goes into shock with numbness, but getting there is painful!

OP have you tried salad dressing on your lettce?

 

[Shizzle]

just drown it in ranch dressing...solves everything.

You may also be missing a enzyme in you saliva that causes most greens to taste very bad and bitter. My best friend growing up always hated greens because he said that they tasted bad well fast forward one day in college biology class 12 years later and we were learning about enzyme within the body and our professor handed a little stick that looked like a litmus test strip and instructed us to put it anywhere in our mouth for 30 sec, before the 30 sec were up my buddy was spitting in the sink and washing his mouth out yet i didn't taste anything. come to find out you can only taste the strip if your missing a specific enzyme and this enzyme is the same one that causes greens to taste bitter and bad. funny enough the only fix is a exotic bean or dried berry (cant remember which) that you take 1 hour before eating greens and it causes the production of the missing enzyme. Therefore making greens more appealing and tasteful

Sorry that was long hope that helps. Its a answer at least

Probably an evolved thing for a reason and maybe some of us are not meant to eat many/certain veggies..maybe our distant relatives evolved in a place it was better to eat more meat to survive or possibly to avoid a certain vegetable that was poison..hard to say though just a guess. Some people have more pointy teeth for eating/tearing meat..I know my K-9's are quite pointy and I see others that have a lot more rounded teeth there.
