mmmm… you’re right, marjoram does kind of taste like soapy oregano.
I think the spice of death should be that fish sauce they always add to the thai recipes. The stuff sure SMELLS dead!
Wow, I am glad that someone else thinks marjoram tastes like soap. The first time I used it, I thought that I must have forgotten to rinse the soap out of my pan or something, started the dish all over, only to achieve the same soapy ickiness. I just use oregano whenever I see marjoram called for, now.
Apparently it’s not marjoram that tastes like soap, it’s actually soap that tastes, or rather smells, like marjoram.
I’ve had the same experience as many of you and after a little research found out that “Marjoram’s fragrance is still prized by perfume and soap makers” and that “Sweet marjoram was used as a room freshener and is used to scent lotions, soaps and creams”. Phew…I can finally rest assured, that it’s not my taste buds that have gone nuts…. 😉
Cilantro tastes like dish soap…does that make it the spice of kids that cuss?

That’s cool, I LOL but it brings up the next question …what is the spice of working?
Yeah…I never use marjoram on chichen…doesn’t taste good…
No, no, no…the spice of death is MONOTONY, not marjoram. Cos even chickens who’ve never tasted marjoram still meet the Reaper.
i hate curry. it smells like stale perspiration.
Marjoram is created by the sandworms and mined by a guy wearing a little tiny speedo.
I’ve always wondered what marjoram was for, I’ve had some sitting in my cupboard forever and never used it. Now I know!
Amen to that!
I wonder what the story behind this cartoon is. Have you been trying some new recipes, Doug?

Hey, now, I like marjoram. I just made a big pot of lentil soup the other day, and marjoram is great in that.
I have to agree with Jeff. But I think Cilantro is the spice of death. Tastes like soapy nastiness.
I think Rosemary is the nastiest spice ever. Bleh! I’ve never had marjoram, but it doesn’t sound very appetizing either.

lmao i think it’s the other way no? Soap taste and smells like marjoram? since that is what a lot of manufacturers use to make soap and fragrances
