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

    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!

    ^^This. I hate the stuff with a passion. It is probably one of the most horrid tastes I can imagine. It tastes and smells offensive. I really don't consider it food. :noway:

    Erk Coriander!! Hate it with a passion. I hate how every modern cooking program ends each recipe with a huge handful of coriander. No!!

    I'm very fond of it but I have a friend that says it tastes like a petroleum product to him. If it tasted like that to me I'd hate it too!

    Hubby and I grow a huge veggie garden. One year, we decided to make homemade salsa and can it. Followed the recipe to a T. Yuck..something was really OFF. Yep..turned out, it was the cilantro. Ewwww. Gave away all the jars we made.

    Now i leave it out of our salsa and it's fabulous.

    i love the stuff but have a good friend who is like you. for him it seems like its almost on a visceral level. maybe its a genetic thing?
