Totally with you on green onion and shallots. And instead of black pepper, I'd say white pepper and grains of paradise. Ever put grains of paradise on a steak in place of pepper? :drool:

But I can't stand cilantro, not sure if maybe I'm one of those that have the cilantro hate gene.

Kiwi

Yes, yes, yes on the white pepper. I love that stuff. Especially in French dishes; in home made salad dressing. Grains of Paradise can even go in apple pie.

Another ingredient is Herbs-de-Provence. Also great in a homemade salad dressing with white pepper.
But has many other uses.

White Balsamic Vinegar

Man I love this stuff for making salad dressings. It's much lighter than that darker balsamic.

Right there with you on cilantro hate.

You eat yucca? I have a whole pasture full of the sons of bitches you can have for free. Farm fresh and totally organic,

Unless it's some fancy shit I've never heard of.

Beef Stew....but the best is the one the French make-- Beef Bourguignon with red wine cooked in it.

Smokehouse BBQ is the most under-rated BBQ joint in KC IMO.

That's yucca.

I listed yuca:

What about jicama?

Anybody that hates cilantro needs to be flogged...
