Caraway and cumin taste nothing similar to me.  Caraway has a sort of licorice-y taste while cumin's flavor is sort of earthy/peppery.

Caraway tastes like pain and suffering to me. It's kind of like cilantro that way.

I actually didn't have any of the steak. And I'm glad I didn't because I really hate caraway. The burgers were good, though.

Huh. I guess it was just little enough that I didn't notice. Or the bacon covered it up. I just know that I can't eat rye bread or that cracker-type deal you get at Indian restaurants.

Well apparently I don't like the taste of whole cumin or caraway. Which is weird because I'm fine with ground cumin.

I don't eat poultry - you think it would work with a lean cut of pork, similarly brined?

chop no, loin yes. of course those are just the focus seasonings; i never skip the salt and pepper and often add a bit of rosemary, garlic, and dried red pepper flake

chicken: the texture of dark meat makes me gag and white meat is too dry and flavorless
turkey: as above
duck: too fatty
goose: turkey and duck's problems combined
cornish hen: bone to meat ratio insufficent
quail: see above, add fattiness

I find that most of my lighter-meat needs can be fulfilled with pork or rabbit.

There are a few notable exceptions. My aunt makes very good Tandoori chicken and there is a restaurant near here that makes an excellent Congolese duck.

Man.  Oh man.  I am going to be able to have a grill again.  Technically I can have a gas grill at my apartment now, but no one ever said "I can taste the propane flavor" in an appreciative way.

I'm probably going to burn everything for the first week or so until I get used to cooking with fire again.
