> [@DrDeth](#): > > _Boiled_ beef? Not likely. Sounds to me like [_pot au feu_](http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/pot-au-feu-367768). Prepared well, it is a lovely, belly-warming dinner. One of my favorites, but I just don’t have the patience to do it right. And, yes, boiled beef can be very delicious. What do you think beef stew is essentially? ---

> [@Baker](#): > > I never met a cuisine I didn’t like. There may be an individual food item I don’t care for, but I’ve found something to love about just about every ethnic/national/whatever grouping as a whole. > > One seasoning I don’t like is cilantro. I have difficulty eating things with cilantro in them. Take that out and I’ll like what I’m eating. About 1/4 of people do not like cilantro, and it appears to be a genetic thing. I’m not one of them; I love cilantro when used appropriately. ---

Yes, yes, it was _pot-au-feu_. You guys are so fucking _fancy._ ---

Austrian _Tafelspitz_ is another example of a delicious dish that would be called “boiled beef” by any diner who wasn’t a pinky-lifting rose-sniffing word-mincing foodie pansy. (OW! Stop throwing cookware!) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-cuisine-do-you-just-not-care-for/765326.md?page=9)
