    The way it was explained to my father in law by a man in Costa Rico is that it is a genetic thing, call it the cilantro gene. While on vacation My father in law continued to complain that all the food tasted dirty, literally like it had dirt dumped into the food. My mother in law thought he was crazy. Finally a native cook told him to ask for no cilantro to be in his meals. The man explained that people either have or have not got the gene/taste bud that allows them to enjoy cilantro. After ordering the rest of his food with no cilantro he enjoyed all the native dishes

    Wait. If cilantro is the death weed, what would happen if you put it in the microwave (aka, "Death Box")?

    I would rather have the Dawn dishsoap in my mouth, then cilantro

    So... The cilantro comes after the Dawn dishsoap to get the nasty taste out of your mouth?

    Don't hate on cilantro just because your tastebuds fail at life. :indifferent:

    They really do. I also cannot stand anything with onion in it, not even a smidge. I love the smell of onions cooking but I would rather try to decapitate myself with a butter knife than eat one.

    hate onions too, but for me it's the texture. both raw and crunchy or cooked and slimy, totally grosses me out either way. btw i've seen people on the internet describe this as a "selective eating disorder" to which i replied, are you fcking kidding?
