Since our conversation on this thread two or three months ago about quinoa, I had the opportunity to try it for what I suppose was the first (and still only) time.
Maybe it was just the dish that the quinoa was in or poor preparation by the cook, but I didn't really care for it. The quinoa that I ate had a kind of (maybe it was a) husk. It wasn't really tough, but it was just a little bit unpleasant to eat.
I'm sure that I'll be giving it another try one of these days, though. Sometimes first impressions can be misleading.
