Gwyneth Paltrow is still doing the promotional rounds to support It’s All Easy, her latest tedious and elitist cookbook. And as we’ve already covered, the promotion is Classic Goop, full of amazing throw-away judgments on food, cooking and how the peasants live and eat. Apparently, Gwyneth has a hate-on for dill. DILL. Of all things. Hating dill is like hating mustard: pointless. Gwyneth thinks dill is offensive. She also thinks microwaves are the devil, which we already learned this week.
Her least favorite food: “I really don’t like dill. It’s not really a food, but it really offends me.”
No microwaves: “I believe in old fashioned ways of heating things up. It’s really not so tough to put an oven on or gasoline steaming. It’s like five minutes.”
No pre-made salads: “My philosophy is, it’s really easy to make your own salad at home. It’s cheaper, it’s healthier, you know what’s in it. I’ve had some great experiences with the grab-and-go salad, and some really, really terrible ones.”
Getting her kids to eat healthier: “I really find if I put out lots of dipping sauces, or lettuce cups, or they’re filling things themselves or making tacos, they’re more involved. …They’ll eat more vegetables. My kids are pretty good at home. I try to keep the pantry pretty clean, but when we’re out in the world, it’s all Oreos and Cheez-Its and stuff like that, unfortunately.”
CHEEZ-ITS! I’ll admit, Cheez-Its and Oreos are not for me… usually. But then again, I have like five bags of discounted Easter candy in my house because I’m obsessed with chocolate-and-peanut-butter eggs. We all have our little food quirks, is my point. Gwyneth’s “dill is not really a food” quirk reminds me of one of my dad’s food quirks – my dad was always insistent that bacon was not a meal. One of his favorite food-related sayings was “bacon is a condiment.” As in, bacon should never be used as a stand-alone meal, but merely an accessory to a meal.
Meanwhile, Gwyneth was asked again about her old quote about “I’d rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a can.” When asked if she still feels that way, Goop said: “Hell yes. You know, crack might be extreme, but spray cheese is not my kind of party.” Then this perfect tweet happened:

Another day, another ridiculous Goop sound-bite.
Also, a bra would be a good idea.
You got there first!
I’d rather smoke crack than be a celebrity being photographed without my breasts being supported. She and I are built similarly in that respect, and the same age. I resent wearing a bra much of the time, the same way I resent not wearing my yoga pants, but I do what is necessary for the situation.
And why the hate on crack? I think Gwynn is more of a powder and cigs girl.
I can’t part with my yoga pants if I can help it. But she should have a bra for events like this.
I’m with her on the dill-hate. It’s horrible.
Susanne – HAHAHA!
For someone so high falutin’ she has terrible posture. I’m tall, too, and she needs to throw those shoulders back and not hold herself like a “peasant.”
Yes a bra needs to happen. She and I are the same height and willowy but I don’t fly my girls freestyle in public unless the top or cut calls for it. I’ll never be chesty but I’m not flat either, still in some outfits a bra can make for a nicer silhouette.
Ok, sorry to derail but I don’t understand why, on this website where people purport to be feminists, is there always a “she should wear a bra” comment??? Why are natural breasts so offensive to some people? I would understand if the comments were “oh, a bra would make this more flattering” but it’s always “Wear a bra!” and often in situations where the person photographed is just out and about. I just don’t get it.
+1 TwistBarbie
+2 TwistBarbie. As much as I dislike Goop, won’t fault her for not wearing a bra.
Are feminists not supposed to like bras? Have I missed something?
It’s because she’s over 40 and has 2 kids and it’s simply not flattering to have your breasts halfway down your middle. Even feminists can appreciate a clean line when it comes to clothing.
In my case it’s purely aesthetics. It’s not a political or social statement. Like what Bridget said. I don’t think she’s awful or trashy or anything, just from a fashion standpoint I think it would look better. She’s had problems with this more than a few times and it always comes to mind.
Bridget, feminists can (obviously) like whatever the hell they want , but telling another woman her breasts need to be hoisted up just because is ridiculous. Saying it’s unflattering is subjective and fine but the tone of the comments usually that someone just “should” wear a bra because….it’s what women do I guess? or that it’s somehow inappropriate to go out without a bra. It just seems like certain feminists will defend to the death a woman’s rights to post naked selfies and whatnot because “it’s her body” (and i would agree) but say someone “needs to wear a bra” and no one bats an eyelash. I just think it’s discordant and weird.
It isn’t that it’s inappropriate (or about the body underneath), it’s that some clothing is intended to be worn with a bra. It ruins the lines otherwise. She clearly cares enough not to have a visible panty line. And she slouches like a teenager, which makes it more pronounced.
GOOP doesn’t wear a bra because she thinks they cause breast cancer. 🙁 it’s not a feminist thing with her.
That’s why I make fun of her for not wearing one. Big dill, right?
@mp – I see what you did there …well-thymed.
I think we were mint to be together.
I’m out.
But it’s not just her, I’ve seen it in comments from many different celebrities, regardless, why is it necessary for a woman to re-shape a part of her body in order to be acceptable for public excursions?
I said it would be a good idea because the Cooper’s ligament that supports the breast elongates as we age, and we can ameliorate that to a certain extent by wearing a supportive garment.
@mp and @Smith LOL!! Well done! I won’t get caraway with puns.
This woman is sounding crazier and crazier by the day.
Does anybody take her seriously?! She is a joke. Everytime I see her I just roll my eyes.
Anyone who takes her seriously, I would seriously question their purpose in life.
Gwnyneth offends me. #notalldill
Trashing dill? It’s a great flavoring for certain dishes. She’s really starting to get on my nerves.
Exactly! Why would a fresh herb be offensive? I can get that she doesn’t like it (John Oliver isn’t a fan either), just like some people dislike cilantro, but being offended by it? Well Scandinavians will be happy to learn that dill is offensive, I’m going to make some gravlax and roll my salmon in dill to show how offensive I am.
Also, this girl has never worked anywhere except for acting and it shows. Yes, turning an oven on isn’t that hard, but most offices’ lunchrooms don’t have a chef cooking for you or a fully-equipped kitchen. A microwave is pretty usefull then! (And yes I’m writting this while eating my microwaved pasta in my lunchroom). Same goes for pre-made salads, I’m not a fan of the store-bought ones (e. coli, salmonella, etc., but I’m picky), but the homemade ones are lifesavers!
I am offended by women who bleach their hair to a straw like consistency
Sabrine: 100. Dill is a great seasoning. Maybe it’s because she looks like a dill pickle.
I personally can’t stand the taste of dill. Absolutely hate it. Maybe it’s the same thing as coriander/cilantro… some people have a gene that makes coriander/cilantro taste like soap to them. Dill is kind of like that for me…a total no go.
And Cheese in a Can probably isn’t really cheese at all. There is probably a reason that stuff like that doesn’t sell in Europe…
Personally I have no idea what dill tastes like, never having knowingly eaten it. It seems a strange target for offence. I enjoyed your bacon anecdote Kaiser. The father of an (Irish) friend of mine was adamant that he got a headache if he didn’t eat potatoes with his dinner. So it was chicken curry…and potatoes…spaghetti bolognese….and potatoes. Etc. Still less annoying than Goop though.
Cheeze-its! This is WAR!!! Team Cheeze-its forever!
Right????
*angrily throws golden Cheez-It necklace in the trash*
Don’t you dare… Don’t you dare waste those cheeze its.
It’s just a necklace, Shamby, see?
https://theinternetbachelorette.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/4.jpg
I would never waste the edible version. NEVER.
I haven’t had Cheez-Its in years and was given a small bag on a Southwest flight the other day. They were SO good and I scarfed them in no time. So yea Cheez-Its.
Every so often, like once a year, I have Cheez-its, and I can’t stop once I start. They are addictive.
Do the same, since I live outside the US someone has to send them for me to eat them! Love them, but glad I don’t have easy access.
Dill of all things? What would Greek tzitziki (so???) be without dill? No taste Paltrow!
I go through this with food SO much. I’ll be casually minding my own business, eat something yummy and then find myself methodical buying it in bulk and consuming it like a mad man.
Thankfully it always passes, but there have been embarassing incidents in my food pantry.
What offends me is wasabi..
Cheez-its and Oreos are not for you, Kaiser?
Well then what the hell do you eat when you’re stoned?
Dill is the furthest thing from offensive.
It’s dill.
That’s like saying parsley is offensive.
Doritos and chocolate and whatever I can get my hands on for stony times. I can’t have Oreos in the house because I have no control around them and just haven’t thought of Cheez-Its in years, but think it’s time to take them up again.
Same here. I bought the Costco sized box of Oreos once…it lasted 3 days. After that I stopped, I just cannot buy them anymore.
Parsley is DISGUSTING. I hate the taste of it and it’s a nightmare to avoid as chefs regularly mank up my food with it as a garnish. Vile.
When I was a kid, I loved eating with people like you because they would always let me eat the parsley off their plate…. Loved it. Never got it at home, only saw it at restaurants. I must have just tried eating it one day at a restaurant and was hooked. Never realized until well into adulthood that it didn’t come as individual small sprigs but in big bunches!
Never actually saw anybody else eat the parsley, but they wouldn’t sell it in grocery stores if I were the only one who eats it.
Now caraway seeds are a different matter. Caraway is the devil in disguise. I used to pick out the seeds from rye bread before I would eat it when I was a kid. Love rye, hate caraway. Caraway seeds are the only edible seeds that I don’t like. More precisely, despise. Like you feel about parsley.
I hate the stuff Jwoolman, I can cope if there’s a spring on my dish, I can just lift it off and toss it aside, but the trend of sprinkling perfectly nice dishes with chopped parsley as a ‘garnish’ is the bane of my otherwise easy going dining out life.
That’s how I feel about mushrooms. If a mushroom has so much as touched my food, I won’t eat any of it–I consider the food “contaminated” or “soiled” by the vile flavor of mushroom.
Sorry, but cilantro is Satan’s garnish. Hate the taste, and it makes my throat close up. So, there’s that.
This was meant for below. Oops.
What? Parsley is a staple!
Now fennel seeds? Small doses only.
I’m like this about raw tomatoes. Yes, tomatoes. I like ketchup, tomato sauce, and a few other tomato things, but a raw tomato? If there is a slice on my burger you are likely to get the burger thrown at you. So disgusting. For me it’s not taste, it’s texture. That slimy icky gunk in the center?? WTF is that crap??? Yuck……
I feel that way about tarragon. I’d rather go hungry than eat that awful weed.
I heard once that it’s genetics that decide if cilantro tastes good to you or not. Count me as one who thinks cilantro tastes like soap.
@Eden75 : right there with you on the slimy seeds of a tomato. I never used to eat tomatos at all because of that, until living in France and discovering what they are really supposed to taste like. I never order anything with raw tomatos in a restaurant, but at home I’ll eat them…after thouroughly de-seeding them.
Now I’m craving Cheez-Its and Oreos, and I have neither in the house, booo.
As for dill, I can’t care too much. I have an intense dislike of cilantro / coriander – which is awkward sometimes, because I adore Mexican cuisine – so I guess I could give Gwynnie a pass on the dill thing.
Aw you have that genetic thing that makes aldehyde taste like soap. You’re missing out on the lemony goodness that is cilantro and that gives me major sads for you.
IMO, you cannot put too much basil, cilantro, or garlic (not an herb I know) in any food. That’s how much I love those three things. Sadly, cilantro is a real b*tch to grow…found that out the hard way. My little patio garden yields quite the basil harvest though! 🙂
I used to hate cilantro so much and then a couple of months ago I had it on tortilla soup and I couldn’t get enough of it. I’m 28, so it’s an odd time for tastes to change, but they did for me!
@KB-Can that happen? I mean, I know you can develop a taste for something at any age but I thought cilantro was the exception to that?
Anyway, I’m happy for you because cilantro is amazeballs.
@Kitten I wish that I did like cilantro because I do adore Mexican and South American food and it’s so prevalent in so many of their dishes. I just…can’t enjoy it, no matter what it’s in, alas. No joke, I was at a great Mexican restaurant recently and I plucked the fresh cilantro off of my fish taco and gave it to my friend, lol. Bad me, I know.
That said, I do love basil! 😀
If some one tried to take away my cilantro they would deeply regret it. I love it so much it’s embarrassing. I’m a cilantro stan. All the other herbs are just jelly haters. Cilantro 4ever.
What? I feel for you. Love cilantro. Avocados beg for it.
I can’t even stand the smell of cilantro, let alone the taste. Yuck.
wrong spot.
@Goodnames
in my passion to defend parsley it appears I double clicked. Whoops!
Oh, I should have posted here instead: some people can eat cilantro and think it’s the bees’ knees. But the rest of us, because of genetics, think that it taste like soap. I’ve spent many a Mexican meal picking as much cilantro out of a dish as I can.
@Kitten Well I never thought it tasted like soap, I just hated it. I’m guessing I never experienced it the way people do with that genetic predisposition.
And even for those that do taste soap, it can change! http://mobile.nytimes.com/2010/04/14/dining/14curious.html?referer=
I don’t like cilantro that much (if the food has a slight touch of it, fine). When I was younger I hated it, in South Portugal they use cilantro in everything and during a school trip at 16, I ordered a dish that had so much cilantro that it was greenish. Hated it ever since. Three years ago (I was 37 yo at the time), there was a Christmas dinner at school with all the teachers and staff. They served cilantro soup and I was like, “ok, I’ll try the soup, if I don’t like it, I’ll still have the rest of the menu to enjoy, I’ll eat more desserts”…And why did I try it if I hated cilantro so much? The entire dinner was cooked by a colleague and my students (cooking course). The soup was divine. It had a very slight touch of cilantro, and it was delicious, to the point of me asking my students for the recipe…
I hate cilantro
Parsley is such a non-entity that it borders on offensive. Do something!
Right? Parsley isn’t even a player. It’s not on the bench-it hasn’t even left the damn locker room.
I consider myself a pretty serious cook, and all the greats add parsley to stuff. So I thought, ok, stop being a parsley snob. It obviously adds a nuance of flavor or something. So I added it for years until finally I just said f it this has no taste.
I have to defend parsley, I love it. It has good flavor – for me at least, and it’s very rich in vitamin C. I use the green part for tabouleh or sometimes I skip the tomatoes and use only bulgur, finely sliced red onion, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. The root – I bake it with other veggies or put it in soups.
And I don’t find DILL offensive. I find Goop offensive.
@Goodnames
As someone who loves cooking I just want to say that some parsley can have no taste and there’s a lot of reasons for that: fresh vs. dried and etc. but that you’re right. It’s not added for flavor so much as it is for umami.
Umami is hard to explain so it’d probably be better to google but it’s basically trying to make a “Mhmm” effect. Lots of random foods do it that aren’t really supposed to produce a taste but will amplify the taste of your food. If you do try it again see if the food tastes a little better and if not scrap it!
I love parsley! But not all parsley is created equal. Some is too bland, and some is the wrong texture, but good parsley is lovely!
And parsley is the main ingredient of tabbouleh, the delicious Levantine salad. Which maybe I should make today…
Yes this is very true about fresh vs dried parsley. If I use parsley at all, it must be fresh. The fresh version is very flavorful.
@ESE-I love umami.
To the tabbouleh lovers I am onboard. I use Italian parsley and some fresh mint. Red onion and green onion. I even eat it in a wrap with hummus.
Parsley is pretty good actually. I usually buy a bunch of fresh parsley at the supermarket.
I make really good homemade cheese its. They’re three ingredients and you bake them in the oven. I call them free range cheese its and a batch lasts about an hour, regardless of sobriety.
Homemade Cheeze-Its?!?!?
There is a God.
I was wrong about everything.
OH MY GOD HOW DO YOU MAKE THOSE???
I am moving in with you
Adopt me? Or failing that, mail some to me? 😛
RECIPE PLEASE
@Wren – you MUST post the recipe!
8 oz cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup flour
sea salt, pepper, cayenne (or paprika) to taste
I use a stand mixer but you could probably do this in a food processor or with beaters. Heat oveb to 300*F. Mix spices with flour. Whip butter until smooth, add flour mixture. Stir in cheese gradually (don’t dump it all in at once) until fully combined. Scoop up spoonfuls and roll into a ball. Place balls on baking sheet (they will spread) and bake 20-30 minutes until crispy. Let cool and then eat them all while pretending you’re only going to have one more.
They come out kinda greasy but they’re delicious. You can make them any way you like, really. Add more or less flour, other seasonings, different kinds of cheese, etc. You may have to adjust the temperature for your oven too. My old oven liked to burn things but my current one is pretty trustworthy.
Thank you, Wren! I’m so trying this.
I hide oreos so I don’t have to share them, and I am 55 😆
@ Kitten. I almost choked on my hidden valley ranch crackers that are sprinkled to perfection w/ dill upon reading your comment Kitten. I’m still kicking herein the heartland. Read & laugh along with the comments as much as I can. How are your cats? I never liked Oreos myself or cheez it’s. I needed something to take my chemo pills with one day and wasn’t up to cooking or microwaving.. Fave in to hubby’s stash of Oreos. Good thing they don’t agree w/ my illness and go straight thru or I would eat them daily. It was the first time in 2 yrs (thanks to illnesses & chemo meds) that I could taste a flavor and not cardboard. Cheez it’s dry my mouth out too bad and I choke on them, otherwise another food group in my book I’m so glad I discovered.
I think those like Goop have never faced anything personally health wise that is so earth shattering as to make them stop and think maybe they need to let go & live a little. Goop can have her crack, I’ll take my dill on my Lil hidden valley ranch oyster crackers (potatoe salad also), the occasional cheez it’s (w/ repercussions & Oreos as well). Dill is a natural herb, crack is synthetic.. So much for Goop being health conscious. Lol. 😉 Thanks again Kitten for the laugh. ❤️
Saltines do that for me–the mouth dryness. Do you ever steal extra packs of oyster crackers from soup and sandwich places? I fill my pockets up because I’m a jerk like that.
My cats are good! The girl is still my sweet angel and the little boy continues to ruin my life.
How are you feeling, Green Eyes?
Dill is a brilliant herb. I already liked it but I like it even more now, lol.
Same!! 😎
Ditto!
I know, it’s one of my favorites, and my son’s too. We put it on as many things as we can. 🙂
Plus it’s really easy to grow.
Do you grow it in trays/pots or in outside ground?
I’ve done both, equally successfully. You need to be diligent about snipping off the flowers, though, as with most herbs, to keep it producing.
I love dill. It goes well with seafood and I just add it to salads. She’s WRONG. As usual.
I like it with seafood too, and of course, mashed potatoes!
Every single time from now on it’ll feel like a Goop protest.
LOL, yes, exactly!!!
I think she meant that dill is an herb, or a seasoning, not a food like Spaghetti for example.
Yep. I dont know why these guys keep forcing me to defend Goop but here goes; She was clearly asked to name a food she really hates. She chose to go with a herb instead of a food (probably because she realised what hell storm that naming a food would trigger). And the “offends” her part is clearly jocular hyperbole.
I was looking for some classic GP not something this innocuous.
Exactly, if someone asked me what food I dislike, Parsley and cucumber would be the first thing out of my mouth. Vile disgusting stuff.
I think she might as well have just named an actual food. She already said that she’d rather smoke the crack, so whatever else she said after that would have been small potatoes.
Anyway, I don’t even think dill as answer is what people are laughing at — I think it’s the “offends” part of the answer. If she had just said she doesn’t like dill, we’d still be focusing on the the crack. To be fair, I’m sure she was just joking around, but with Gwyneth both her jokes and her serious sentiments tend to blur into each other because her general tone is set to snooty.
Cilantro for me. Tastes like soap.
@OriginalTessa – did you know that some people don’t have a certain type of taste bud that allows them to taste cilantro properly? That’s why it tastes like soap to them. I love the stuff!
Yeah, I know that because I am DEFINITELY one of those people. Yuck yuck yuck! Tastes so foul it makes me gag.
I’m a cilantro hater too, I got the gene from my mom. My dad and husband think it’s just dandy but it’s banned in both households lol.
It’s not that she hates dill, that is fine. It’s that it offends her. I wouldn’t think anything about this if they said is there any food you hate and she said dill.
If you asked me that I’d say mayo- the mere sight of it makes me vomit (this sadly is not me being dramatic shiver) but my answer on TV would be I have a strong dislike for mayo and always make sure it’s removed from my food when I order. I wouldn’t say it offends me.
People hate food but rarely get offended by it.
Naya, yes. Isn’t it ironic that Gwyneth is the only one in this situation with a sense of humor? People might not find her funny but gosh I wish they’d stop taking everything she says SO LITERALLY! Clearly, she’s having a laugh.
For me, its fennel and anise. YUCK.
I kind of get the being offended by dill. They often seem to serve it with smoked salmon, something I adore until the flavour of dill ruins it. So while it’s not trying to be offensive, it actually does offend me to have something I really like “contaminated” by the stuff.
@K: Mayo…the pre-packaged stuff is gross. But if you ever have the occasion to try real homemade mayo…do. Two entirely different things, what CheezWiz is to Brie, canned Mayo is to the real stuff.
Exactly. And it’s a strong flavor. I love dill, but I could see how someone who didn’t like it would find it “offensive.”
I am really not into dill but I can sometimes tolerate it. My Russian and Slavic friends use a lot of it so I’ve had to get used to it, but I often find myself wishing it wasn’t in the food, like “this would be so good without the dill”. I haven’t told some of them I hate it because that would pretty much mean insulting most of the things they’ve served me. The struggle is real.
I think she looks REALLY pretty in these pictures, but definitely needs a few inches trimmed off that hair!
Seriously this woman is offended by a herb? I’m sorry if my English is incorrect? Basically she’s offended by nature and yet she’s selling an organic life. wth?
Clearly she has never had a dill pickle chip. I love dill.
I’ve never heard of dill offending anyone.
No big dill.
Well-played.
😉
You win! 😀
LOL
You tell my ‘lemon dilly chicken’ that. Frig – that stuff is good. Epicure lemon dilly seasoning with sour cream and a bit of mayo to just thicken it a little mixed up and baked on top of chicken.
Being the peasant I am, I only started even cooking with dill like two years ago haha. Not only am I peasant, I’m behind the peasant times.
Dill offends her, seriously? Way to be dramatic, Goop. If she ate more of that fake food (or drunk some dill tea), maybe she wouldn’t have to spend so much money on colon cleanses as it’s very good for digestion and against constipation.
We are just parsing her words at this point. She is right about reheating in an oven, though. It took me 50 years to realize that if you put left over pizza in the oven, it tastes freshly made.
I’ve lived without a microwave for about maybe 12 years now and the only time I miss one is for reheating liquids like coffee and Chinese takeaway. Mainly just coffee. Every time my French press gets lukewarm, I contemplate my counter space. Other than that, everything else tastes better reheated in the stove/oven.
I’ve done without one for about as long and I don’t miss it. I use mine for sponge disinfecting and warming my heating pads. Never for food or beverages.
If your coffee or whatever gets cold, heat it up with a water bath. Put a pan half full of water on a medium heat and stick the french press or mug or whatever in. When the water gets warm lower the temperature and wait. You don’t want it to boil, just get nice and toasty warm. Check beverage periodically until it’s warm enough for you. Slightly more effort but you can get it perfect drinking temp without over heating. I can taste the difference, it’s worth it.
Hm, good advice, will implement in the morning.
Problem with putting any type of bread in a microwave is if you set it for too long a time it gets hard and is not edible. I use the microwave more than I probably should, but when I have to heat something quickly it is my go to.
I have a microwave and I rarely use it. I wouldn’t miss it.
Can someone tell me what gasoline steaming is? First time I’ve ever heard of it.
It’s for your vag, duh.
It’s a big dill
I think she means natural gas (not gasoline)….eg using a gas stove to boil a pot of water to steam-heat your leftovers. I do that sometimes.
Either she doesn’t know the difference between gasoline and natural gas or the journalist doesn’t. Which is sad either way.
I’m gonna go ahead and blame it on Goop, who probably thought gasoline was simply the posh way to say ‘gas’
WTF is gasoline steaming?!
Seriously y’all, this gasoline steaming thing might be the explanation for her in general. Lol!!! I’ve heard of cooking with natural gas but gasoline? WTH
I am not a dill person- at all- but it doesn’t offend me. I don’t get that sentiment. But so much of what Goop says sounds strung together with discombobulated logic.
I thought she would have liked dill because of her organic lifestyle.
PEANUT BUTTER EGGS!!! They’re our downfall over here. 😁
I love dill it’s my favorite herb this is the most offensive thing she’s ever said. (I’m not joking)
just coming on here to say that Extra Toasty Cheez-It’s are God’s gift to mankind and I suggest everyone go buy a box right now.
LOVE the extra toasty ones!
The person who suggested entire boxes of extra toasty cheeze-its deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Seriously? This is a thing? I’m not even smoking pot and I am going to walk to the store Right Now! If Triscuits does this, too, I will change my religion.
I hate to say that i agree w her. The taste of dill is just off putting for myself…friends who have dill popcorn and don’t specificy see my reaction after ive eaten some, so nasty!!! And processed cheese from a can, really??? I rather eat my own toenails
I like dill, but dill popcorn sounds gross.
Gasoline steaming?? Isn’t that something you do in a closed garage to end it all?
I love dill on potatoes, eggs and salmon..and the two most used machines in my kitchen are the microwave and ice maker..ah, the life of a peasant…
Ha!!!
I had the same, what the f… is gasoline steaming? But a person who feels offended by dill might as well end it all in a garage…god, she’s annoying.
Who gets offended by dill? I can see not liking it, not wanting to eat it, but to be offended by it? What?
I love dill potato chips and dill pickles. When I found out I could actually buy dill all by itself, I bought a jar of it. Don’t think I ever figured out what to do with it, though. Just made me happy to have it around to sniff every now and then.
Was that dried dill?
(Soups or dhals)
Ms. Insufferable must never eat any Armenian/Greek food because we add dill to some dishes and they are delicious. I’m offended by Goop being offended by dill.
Greek food. Love it with passion and all the dill too.
What the bloody hell is a lettuce cup?
Honestly, it’s like this woman is on a mission to ruin food for everyone. I like food. She can buzz the buzz off.
It’s a stiff lettuce leaf you fill with delicious things. Ceviche being the best * drools*
Thank you!
It’s what the vag steam comes in. You don’t think she uses a plastic device for that, do you? Organic, sweetie, organic.
I just spat my tea (it has cow’s milk AND sugar in it, so there) all over my laptop screen!
It’s a lettuce leaf that you fill with food so it can fall apart after your first bite and spill food in your lap. Saves calories.
I do get it now. It’s the Goop version of me smearing my celery stick with cream cheese. But mine doesn’t fall in my lap. Right?!
Funny – I actually LOVE dill (I’m Polish and we put dill in anything and everything).
Girl, that sound is one million women of Norwegian descent thundering towards you, armed with Lutefisk and dill on brown bread. Run. Dill is absolutely a food, and like all herbs, is good for you. Know what isn’t? Sitting around inhaling gas fumes. I almost threw away my Emma DVD over this.
LOL! I was just thinking that I should whip up a batch of my grandma’s pickled herring for her. But lutefisk is even more brilliant! The only question would be whether to tell her that it’s soaked in lye before or after she’s forced to take a bite.
At our favorite Jewish deli/restaurant, I always get the salmon with dill sauce. Yum.
Oh my god I could live with her hating grab ‘n go salads, and thinking that people on food stamps eat limes but HOW CAN YOU HATE DILL???
mission accomplished – she go herself some headlines
she looks great though
Considering dill isn’t actually a food, I’d have to agree in part with Gwyneth. It’s an herb, not a food but she’s still stupid to classify it as such.
1) Get a bra. IDGAF if it’s on order from French nuns who specialize in batiste work, get it on speed dial. 2) Get some conditioner and a toner. If you can’t bear the thought, get a lackey to tramp down to Sally Beauty 3)Step off my pickles, beotch. I am done with her. she has gone too far.
I can’t find anything wrong in what she’s saying. We all have different tastes. I don’t like the smell of garlic.
Seriously. I don’t think she’s always as bad as she comes off. Even goop is allowed food aversions!
I like cilantro, despite being among those who taste its soapiness. No love, no hate, I’m the mythical creature who is just ok with it either way. Mayo, bananas, canned tomatoes, most canned fruits, sour cream, celery, cucumbers, eggplant, anise…those are all another story. Also, I can taste the funk in some pork that is linked to the pigs being too stressed before they’re slaughtered. Good pork is good, but that pork is inedible.
Dill offends her…really. She offends me.
C’mon, she doesn’t like the taste of an herb, that’s common, we’re all repulsed by this or that flavor. If you like dill, do you also like tarragon or winter savory or lovage? I’m a chervil hater myself.
It’s saying that it “offends” her that is pretentious.
+1 I hate anise.
I have a special hate-on for muffins.
Muffins are basically cake, but made slightly worse so that people will eat them for breakfast. But they’re cake. And if you make oat ones, then it’s diet cake which is an abomination upon this earth. I have no use for pastries with an identity crisis.
I love this comment.
I have often thought the same way about muffins but your passion and turn of phrase made my day.
I fervently agree with you.
For 800 calories I’m gonna have three slices of cheesecake, not something with f*cking poppy seeds in it.
Me too – lard pucks.
I suddenly had this vision of a raspberry snowball screaming I Am A Twinkie. Its OK I will show myself out
Um, Ms. Paltrow, knower-of-all-things. Dill really isn’t a food. It’s a herb used for flavoring. People can offend, transgressions can offend, ideas can offend, but what did poor little dill ever do to you?
As as I aside I feel a little sorry for her. Even with all her wealth it must be constricting to live such a regimented life, even though she choose it herself it must get tiresome.
I will alert a few favorite chefs in France and let them know they must stop using dill!!
Mariah finds certain lighting abusive. Chrissy Teigen thinks Trader Joes employees have extra time to note her discomfort. Goop is offended by dill. How does she eat matzoh ball soup then huh? She said she loves it.
I found her Vaggiejumpsuit offensive AND abusive.
But she’s trolling us and I give her props for knowing her brand. She doubled down on the crack comment and I’m sure she’s laughing her ass off about it.
I find her annoying, but, yeah, I tend to think she knew that the doubling down on crack would elicit a reaction, and I guess we’re falling for it.
Was Goop ever a big deal as an actress? She’s been around since the 90’s and I can barely name half a dozen films with her. And half are Iron Man.
When she was dating Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck.
She was sort of an “It” girl but after her Oscar win she didn’t make the right choices or…maybe she just didn’t try. I’m not sure. I wonder how strong an interest acting actually is for her. I think she likes the fame, and I guess she can maintain that fame through telling everyone what to do.
Dill is totally a food–there are cultures that make salads and soups from it. That’s like saying kale isn’t a food.
Dill also has great medicinal properties. It aids digestion and has carminative benefits (combats flatulence.). It’s a source of calcium, vitamin A, and manganese.
Most importantly for Goop,
“The monoterpene components of dill have been shown to activate the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase, which helps attach the anti-oxidant molecule glutathione to oxidized molecules that would otherwise do damage in the body. The activity of dill’s volatile oils qualify it as a “chemoprotective” food (much like parsley) that can help neutralize particular types of carcinogens, such as the benzopyrenes that are part of cigarette smoke, charcoal grill smoke, and the smoke produced by trash incinerators.”
In other words, if she hadn’t been avoiding dill all these years, she might not be showing the effects of her smoking so much!
I agree with you Dad, bacon is an accessory to a meal. Eggs and bacon, grits and bacon…..
Please explain “gasoline steaming”.
Again, more food advice from someone with Orthorexia. She is insufferable.
hehe .. I think she wont last long in my country. she gonna get stomachache.. I am from Indonesia, and we put so many ingredients in our recipes 🙂
I bow to your rendang. It is amazing.
I love dill! Here in Sweden it is on nearly everything. If she ever visits my country, she will have a hard time…LOL
‘I really don’t like bras. It’s not really a necessity, but it really offends me.’
Did anyone else do a double take on her daughter’s name? Apple Martin — I thought it said “Apple Martini”
Fried. Dill. Potato. Chips.
*drops mic, walks out*
Obviously Goop has not lived a full & rewarding life. Otherwise she would know Hidden Valley Ranch Oyster Crackers w/ yes Dill are a delicious food group all upon their own. Silly Goop, she’d take synthetic crack over a natural herb like Dill.. and she thinks she’s the expert? Lol
It was obviously a joke. But it wasn’t funny, because she is an extremely willfully unintelligent person and therefore cannot be funny, but her lack of intelligence makes her think she is both funny and smart. Not only is she a perfect example of affluenza; she’s also a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
I think she’s deliberately throwing these quotes out there now because she knows she’ll get the clicks with them. They used to be less contrived. Now the joke is supposedly on us, by Goop, to get us to buy her latest book of profound culinary insights.
I can’t with this woman. I just can’t. I am all for a healthy diet, but a healthy diet does not mean creating a food prison. Take your kids out for ice cream Gwyn, it will do them good.
Goopy’s level of cluelessness is astounding. She is so entitled and out of reach with reality that it offends ME! Le sigh…
She keeps going without a bra. I do not think her chest looks like what she thinks it does.
