@achewood Irish Nachos are a charming take on the original, but I wonder what Uighur Nachos would be like. A mutton leg on a crisped pita?

Is Ray being extra generous or does he just have old newspapers laying around the house?

I mean, why not pack the box with $100 bills?

Somehow I can buy Ray just having this lying around. Then again, knowing Ray -- even if he deliberately planned this, he'll play dumb about it and claim it wasn't intentional.

Also, did the alt text get changed? I sense at one point it was the title of the thread, but now it's just about packing material.

No, the alt text was to my knowledge always about packing material, but it didn't make for a very good thread title.

the best thing about this is that the salsa got shipped to the sort facility in memphis and then back to teodor.

Ahhhhh. Well, you're very right -- I can't honestly think of a better title for this thread, given that this is more a "funny concept" comic and less a "funny dialogue" comic.

(You see, it's less a humor position than a humor concept...)

You know he got really interested in history one day and bought a bunch of artifacts off eBay.  Then when they came in the mail, he couldn't remember what they were or why he bought them.  Then he got distracted by the fact that he had just eaten like half a piece of paper completely on accident.

If a cat ever sends me anything wrapped in newspaper, I'm checking it for poop first.

I hate cilantro more than any other food item. That is all.

ANY cilantro is too much.  I will not consume certain brands of salsa because of it.  Nasty.

It is also known as corriander, or chinese parsley.

It is tasty and will not hurt you!

Actually, coriander and cilantro are not the same.  They do come from the same plant, which is quite easy to grow.  Coriander is a spice and therefore a seed.  Cilantro, an herb, is the young leaves of the plant.

I love cilantro, but it's an acquired taste.  It's kind of soapy tasting, but in a good way.

Can you make salsa without cilantro?  I thought that was the whole point.

I don't know if salsa can be made without cilantro, but there is an awesome dish at PF Chang's (it's a chain but I don't know how widespread) made with pan-seared beef and just tons of cilantro.  It is super-tasty and it reminds me of what a dish might be if the Iron Chef Secret Ingredient were cilantro, and the winning chef made the best dish possible.  It showcases the flavour of the herb just perfectly, and as a result I truly believe that there is, in fact, no such thing as too much cilantro.  

Cilantro.  Cilantro.  Mmmm, cilantro.
