Cilantro is an herb that people either love or hate, and I happen to
be one of those who hate it and thinks it tastes like soap.

I ate at a very expensive Indian restaurant last night and told the
waiter I didn't care for cilantro and requested that they hold the
cilantro on my lamb curry. So they made sure to dump cilantro on top
and I wasted half the curry trying to pick it out to make it edible.
Even then, the flavor was ruined every time I bit into a stray piece
and the vile taste overwhelmed my taste buds.

The retards at McDonalds are able to hold the pickle if the customer
requests it. Even Mexican taquerias will hold the chiles if you say
you like it mild. They could even put the cilantro on the side and
let the customer decide whether to put it in his taco or curry.

Vietnamese restaurants are another big offender when it comes to
cilantro. I can't even stand the thought of Vietnamese food anymore
because of it. My guess is that cilantro is traditionally used to
cover up the taste of spoiled meat.

I don't care for the taste of Bell peppers, either. Broccoli is my least
favorite vegetable, followed closely by cauliflower. [snip]

haha. these are the 3 things i don't like.

Broccoli & cauliflower are pretty tasteless to me. so i tolerate them
occasionally if the source is good.

i also don't like blood. but i can eat around it if it's like jelly.

To me, it tastes like soap only if it is cooked. Left raw, it is
slightly herby, like parsley.

Not at all necessary. "Taste" is code for the flavor sensation, which
is 80-90% smell.

I love a good banh mi with the tiny thai chiles. Its been a while
since I had one though. This sandwich would be list without the
fresh cilantro.

This is how I learned to like cilantro - on banh mi. After you eat
about 500 of them, you'll like cilantro :-)

As for the Thai bird chiles, I have to buy packages that are 25% orange
and red and the rest are green. The green ones are tasteless compared
to the reds. So I throw those away.

I go the other way, it is one of the most wonderful fragrants
in food.

When making any meat curry I always through a handful in
during cooking add more so it just wilts before serving, then
top with a small raw sprinkle as a garnish.

You hate me already don't you.\

Gosh, how often will the perennial thread on who can taste cilantro
and its genetic implications have to appear?

Probably weekly.
