    Apparently the cilantro tasting like soap thing is genetic. I'm in the soap family too.

    I always get Pho....and i ask for it without cilantro...but i can still taste it on the other veggies bc they use the same chopping board!

    I actually had to google to find out what it is. We call it coriander on the other side of the pond!
    I love the stuff, in soups and especially in Chinese hot pot. Yum!

    I am SO in the CILANTRO!>:(YUCK! camp! Any dish or sauce or salad that this WEED goes into is completely flavored and ruined by this awful stuff! I know people that absolutely love it. OP, you are the only one I've "talked to" who seems to feel as strongly as I do. Now I know I am not alone!
