Ok, that's a reasonable explaination. I wonder if that type of herbal sensitivity explains some folks reaction to herbacious wines as well? Might be the answer to that love/hate NZ Sauv blanc arguement.

Cilantro is disgusting, it tastes like soap. And yes I know what soap tastes like, as my mother never did understand my ever expanding vocabulary.

When I first moved to California, I couldn't figure out why their salsa was sooooooo bad. Finally figured it out....the cilantro.

Now I can't make salsa without it. I still don't like it in large quantities, but the salsa needs some of it. My wife puts it on her salads. This year I grew a bunch of it in the garden. It did extremely well, so we had fresh cilantro all summer and fall.

Now arugula.....I really like.

I use it in several dishes in moderation. I'm a little surprised at VT's statement that it tastes like soap. I've thought that for years.


Just one more sip.

Didn't know so many people hated cilantro.

I love it. Always have a bunch in the house and use it really often in homemade salsa, rice, tacos, soups, pretty much any mexican food.

I tried to grow it but it died Frown

Don't you know the real reason millions of people risk their lives crossing the desert, and fording the Rio Grande. It's so they don't have to eat Mexican food anymore.

Tastes like a bar of soap to me also. I also know what soap tastes like.
I still use it though, even very finely chopped into a green salad. Best in homemade salsa.

It's the easiest way to ruin something that would otherwise taste good. Another vote against cilantro. I hate it!

I've also found it a tough flavor to combine with wines, and have always thought "beer" when cilantro is involved as I'm not a big fan of the wines with "grassy" nuances that tend to compliment this spice.

I love cilantro!!

Thoughts?

Huge yes. Call it Cilantro, Coriander, Dhania or chinese parsley - I love it.
It's great in Indian, Thai and Mexican food.

However there are few things on this planet that smell worse than coriander that's got left in the fridge and gone rotten.

Fresh Cilantro is a staple in the dinwiddie family kitchen.


When in doubt, open another bottle.
