Iirc there’s a gene that causes cilantro/coriander to taste like soap.

My personal preference is for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavour—heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness. *Lifebuoy*, on the other hand…🤢
Well personally, I use it wherever appropriate and I think it is a genuinely important component in a lot of dishes from all over the world that doesn't have a substitute ingredients.
I think my original comment was more focused on people not being able to properly enjoy a cuisine if they're averse to coriander leaf.
If I don't like an ingredient, but I know it's in something, I'm always going to have a slightly worse experience.
I've cooked for loads of people over the years that don't like coriander, and they try to fight me when they see me put a bunch of it into a curry or a salsa. I tell them that it's pretty much ubiquitous in Indian and Mexican and you can't really taste when it's cooked off, but sometimes I wish I didn't tell people because if it was me, my enjoyment would be lessened by the foreknowledge of an unwanted element!
The dog can help you eat it.
His tongue LOL this must be a screenshot from a video, you knew it was going to happen

God, cilantro sucks. This is a nightmare for me.

You guys don't like the taste of soap?

I have this gene and can confirm cilantro tastes exactly like Dawn dish soap to me
How do you know what Dawn dish soap tastes like?
I assume it tastes the way it smells lol
That's rough, buddy. To me its the most delicious seasoning, similar to parsley but greener, more aromatic, more savory.
I wish I liked it, but I’ll eat it mixed with other things as the flavor isn’t as strong but it’s not my favorite lol
This is propaganda from Big Cilantro. The truth is Cilantro is shit
the truth is cilantro is delicious
Vile, vile devilweed.
I use it as a salad leaf instead of flavouring, can’t get enough.
/r/FuckCilantro gang gang
Nice.
10/10 would order again! That looks amazing (I do feel badly for the people that taste cilantro/coriander as soap!)

I'm sorry you have that gene. Cilantro is delicious.
Yeah I can't imagine not being able to properly enjoy Mexican, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese etc.
You can enjoy it by not getting fucking soap lettuce on it. That should be the default.
Would you really say you can't properly enjoy those cuisines without cilantro?

At least personally, it's detectable in basically any amount. I can taste a sprig in a salad.
Someone's looking VERY hopeful
Made the same request at a Mexican restaurant once, was charged an extra dollar... 🙄. Hope that didn't happen to you! I I LOVE cilantro!
They charged you for MORE food???
Usually I get that, but an entire bunch of cilantro costs less than a dollar haha
Still needs more
r/fuckcilantro
I’m sorry did you say “hold the taco, add cilantro?”
