    Because no. No it isn’t.



    Furthermore, soap tastes like cilantro.

    Imma start eating soap then because cilantro is delicioso! 👌🏻

    You're on team Cilantro?!
    ...oh, our Alien overlords must be watching us in glee right now!

    I can 'tolerate' small amounts (but find it quite yucky and wish it wasn't there) I don't get the "soap" reference many say they taste - I just don't like it. Hate that its sometimes mixed into parsley - looks quite similar - but gives me a jolt, b/c I love parsley, hate cilantro.

    Weird its a super divided thing - and of course, by that, is super interesting to me!

    https://food52.com/blog/21868-i-finally-understand-the-science-behind-why-people-hate-cilantro-so-much

    So, basically you have 'the right' tastes, and I'm forked up

    I'm funny tho -things I don't like I like to keeping trying (just to make sure)
    ... is that like food masochism?

    I put cilantro on anything that makes sense for it to be there. When I found out about the soap thing I was all 🤭 those poor souls.

    I think food masochism falls under excessively spicy things, drinking booze straight up, bitter things and people who like black licorice.

    I think food masochism falls under excessively spicy things, drinking booze straight up, bitter things and people who like black licorice.

    I like two of those things; so I guess I'm a food masochist.

    I also love bitter things.

    I actually kind of want to try cilantro now. Hope it doesn't taste like soap!

    And today's irk is seeing an older post of mine quoted and noticing a typo that's too late to fix.

    Put it on things that don’t make that much sense too! It’s good. I like it on a pineapple/blueberry mix.🤤

    I will say….sometimes you run into some bad cilantro. And I will wish I hadn’t of used it. Sometimes I wonder if the “tastes like soap” camp maybe had a bad experience and got scared off.

    Adding myself to TeamCilantro seeing as I've been gorging cilantro and chili naan with everything this week.

    OK, so I'd been craving hush puppies for a long time because I was remembering the one time I had them and how good they were so finally went into this little place called Fishbone near my apt to satisfy that craving. Had one when I got home and it...didn't taste as good as I'd remembered.

    As an aside, a girl came in and ordered fried fish with a double side of fries and I was like..I wish I were you. :)
    Now I'm more, "Good thing you're young cuz that's a heart attack waiting to happen".

    Black licorice is the very very best.
    The salted black licorice coins? An absolute favorite.
