Guac, salsa, good. Without cilantro. Cilantro, bad.

on social media. Eat nothing but handfuls of cilantro for four weeks.

I mean, if people will eat laundry detergent this is a cake walk.

an ingredient I leave it out and won't even buy it, but I'm so lazy, if it's in something I am eating I still eat it.

I Agree!

This is a topic that should be addressed frequently.

Glad you’re on board. Fuck Cilantro.

complaints from me with cilantro. Love it in salsa, guac, chimichurri sauce and it's the base of my carne asada marinade
It's fucking delicious

Cilantro...  
JohnG in Albany : 6/16/2019 7:45 pm : link
is one of those things that people seem to taste differently, at a physiological level.

I think that explains the love/hate opinions of it.

Or not. *grin*
There is a genetic polymorphism in human populations.  
DonQuixote : 6/16/2019 7:50 pm : link
If you have certain alleles, cilantro tastes more or less like soap. If you don’t, it doesn’t.

That is not all there is to say, but it could be a big reason that people are split on the issue.

Love the taste in most Mexican foods. Great in detoxing as well.
Just sub parsley

All recipes should be adjusted to your taste. Everyone has a different pallet

Like people who freak if you put fish and cheese together. Unless you’re paying for my groceries or dinner stfu about how I cook my steak. I’ll he raw before rare.

Love cilantro

Don't wash your face? I've had my mouth washed out with soap as a kid but you can still taste it as an adult when cleaning yourself.

You've never used a dish that wasn't rinsed properly?
It's genetic  
Tb_21 : 6/17/2019 12:33 pm : link
See the link below. There's a gene that causes cilantro to taste like soap to some folks, that's why cilantro is such a love / hate thing.

Escabeche, and therefore has it's rightful place among the Her Gods on the Mount Olympus of Culinary Herbs.

Albeit, a lesser position than parsley, thyme, oregano, tarragon, and many others... but nonetheless a righteous seat at the Assembly of Necessary Culinary Herbs.

You don't like it? That's YOUR problem.

Go ahead. Serve me something with cilantro in it after I specifically said 'no cilantro.'

Then we'll see whose problem it is.
tastes like soap and ruins meals for me  
PaulBlakeTSU : 6/17/2019 1:13 pm : link
genetically, it's either an enzyme I have or lack that affects the way cilantro is broken down.

It's incredibly frustrating because I love all of the cuisines that feature it heavily and so whenever I"m out with friends and family, I always have to ask for the cilantro to be put on the side for others to add as a garnish or I'll get a second order or say, guac, without the cilantro.

It's so powerfully aromatic in my mouth that I can understand why people who don't have the genetic aversion would love it

You wouldn't get the dish at all... Can't you read the sign over there? It says "NO SUBSTITUTIONS" and "WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE."

Go down the block to Burger King and "Have It Your Way."

Well, then. Since my dislike of cilantro is a genetic disorder, I'll sue you under the Americans with Disabilities Act and end up owning your restaurant. Get used to saying, "would you like fries with that" at that Burger King after I fire you.
