Does anybody else remember quinoa?

It was the biggest new "superfood" like 2 years ago, and now that's over I can safely say WHO THE HECK LIKED IT? ITS DISGUSTING! I swear anyone who said they liked it was lying and trying to be a health food guru. Its got a nasty taste, nasty texture, and looks weird. I got this recipe from a friend for "Sriracha quinoa" and they said "oh you'll love it for sure" and I tried it and it was TERRIBLE!! JUST USE RICE FOR GOSHS SAKE!!!!!!!!

Guarantee if you take the quinoa out and just add more rice it would be better.

didnt the western superfood hype increase the price so much that people couldnt afford to eat a previous staple in their diet?

Quinoa and kale are both gross. Anytime I bear about super foods I just assume they're terrible.

With that flair?

Kale with potatoes and sausages/poked boar chop/porkbelly is something my German grandmothers cooked often. It's a "after 2nd WW we had nothing and it's cheap" food here, nothing "super" about it.

I ate it by the bucketful when I was in Peru because it was dirt cheap and you could bring it on backpacking trips.

In the states it was way too expensive for being essentially a rice substitute with more protein

I have no rebuttal. It belongs in the trash.

Quinoa, like kale, sucks as food but its a reliable way of pooping your whole brains out :marseycatgirljanny:

I like quinoa, it tastes a lot better when you cook it in chicken broth instead of water

Yeah quinoa smells weird.

Bulgur wheat is just as good for you* and doesn't smell like feet.

Thank you for writing this. Your actual content (drama and lolcows) being surrounded by paragraphs and paragraphs of worthless references to what random dudes said on reddit is the epitome of rdrama. The entire post could've been one or two sentences, but instead we got this beautiful example of why nobody likes dramatards.
