  • I’ll always remember the first time I went to Chipotle. I guess it must have still been a regional thing at the time because I had never heard of it or been to one, so I wasn’t familiar with how it worked. Someone I had just started dating brought me there.

    There was a small menu on the wall in the area where you wait in line. It listed things like chicken burrito, bean burrito, etc, along with ingredients for each of those. So I thought, “Alright. Bean burrito sounds good.”

    It’s my turn to order. I asked for the bean burrito. They stare at me and I stare at them.

    “No, but what do you want on it?”

    -“All the things for the bean burrito.”

    “I need to know what you want on it.”

    -“What? Just the regular. It’s on the sign there.”

    I have returned to Chipotle only once because that same person I was dating at the time wanted to go. I didn’t want to deal with the burrito process, so I just ordered rice.

    They didn’t specify that there was cilantro in the rice back then. I’ve got that cilantro equals soap gene.

    I have never returned to a Chipotle.

    Thank you for reading my mundane story.













  • I’d just like to point out that there is no “taste of fish”. Different species can taste very different from one another.

    Cod is the most popular among people who otherwise don’t eat much fish because it is versatile and light on flavor. Salmon is one of the more flavorful fish, so I’m not sure what was up with the salmon you had. Mackerel is very flavorful (the oily fishes in general are), which you may or may not like. Sole or flounder are also popular among the lighter flavored fish, and easy to cook. You might like them battered and fried. You should try fresh tuna as well.

    I also am a big fan of sole a la meunier (with butter, parsley, lemon, and capers). I’d also recommend trying teriyaki salmon. I like to make fish chowder with cod. Mackerel I tend to make shioyaki style (while baked with a bunch of salt, served with lemon or ponzu).
