Cilantro tastes like soap to me. I like it. I can eat as much of soap flavored plant as I want without shitting out bubbles.

Fuck cilantro.
i like the taste of soap more tbh, but cilantro is alright.
i always hated weird mex and india foods and recently discovered: no they are not wierdos that like soap
The first time I had some salsa in a restaurant I was asking if they accidentally poured dish soap into it. It was inedible for me.
I only learned later that it was cilantro and that it is genetic.
I am still feeling sorry for the remark, but it was all I could taste and didn’t know any better.
I definitely have the soapy gene, but don’t mind the taste. I blame thrills soap gum, I occasionally enjoyed that as a kid. My sister also has the gene and can’t stand the taste.
I don’t mind the taste, but I’m extremely sensitive to it. If there is one bit in the dish, all of it tastes like cilantro and nothing else. Is this also part of the soap gene?
For those who don’t think it tastes like soap go get a bar of ivory and really hit those back teeth with it. You’ll get it.
I like coriander seeds instead. While the coriander leaves (cilantro) taste like soap to me and are not nice, the seeds are fine and actually pretty delicious in certain dishes.
Why is top left Kevin James
Am I the only human in the top left?? When I first learned of the gene, I was like “ahhhh that must be why,” then tried it again and did not taste soap. I just kinda hate the taste. It’s like too-much-vegetableness-to-make-up-for-overpowering-whatever-it’s-added-to but I don’t taste soap.
Now do one for people with the asparagus smelling and smell producing gene.
I love Asparagus, but I definitely can smell it when I pee.
There’s a similar gene for grapefruit. My parents love grapefruit. But to me it tastes like the devil. Love grapefruit candy and soda though.
You just don’t know the grapefruit technique yet.
I have a similar thing but with celery. I cannot stand celery because to me it smells extremely bad. Like, the worst thing I have ever smelled or will smell bad. If there’s even a tiny bit of celery somewhere, I can smell it. I don’t even know how celery tasted because I can’t get it close enough to my mouth to try.
I saw a video of someone teaching himself to like celery, and coerced my girlfriend to do the same - it works!
You literally just start by nibbling a bit every day and start eating more and more as you can handle it. She loves celery now, to the point where she just eats it raw as snacks.
Whether it’s worth the apparent torture is up to you. To be frank, picky eaters give me second hand embarrassment when out dining, since you can teach yourself to like basically everything. Usually it’s just people who didn’t get much variety as children.
Or don’t, because a crunchy water stick isn’t worth the effort…
It is if you’re trying to lose weight
Sure, but I don’t think forcing the plus sized homies to gaslight their taste buds is necessarily the best path.
I’d personally start with veggies they already like and build from there.
i used to work at a poke shop and I had one regular that had a special kind of bowl: he wouldn’t get any rice or greens, not even any protein, he would request like 4 or 5 big scoops of cilantro. covered with crunchies like sesame and tempura flakes with sauce. Like this bro just eats cilantro salad every day
The guy transcended the coriander compass.
