I love cilantro, but my niece hates it - has said since she was a child that to her, it tastes like soap.

I love it!

However, shortly after eating it, I experience gustatory sweating in the back of my neck.

i think rosemary tastes like soap, and i don’t use it in my food.

I don’t hate cilantro, but a little of it goes a long ways.

I like it in lots of foods, the vietnamese bahn mi and pho bo

rosemary is strong but good with dijon mustard, olive oil and garlic.

I skewer the meat with a branch of it

My wife and I use it a lot. I have heard people say it tastes like soap, but it does not taste that way to me.

My wife says I have no taste, so I’d probably be fine with cilantro

I cannot smell Cilantro. Didn’t know it even HAS a smell to it.

That said, the kindest way I can describe how Cilantro tastes, is:

“Someone ate lettuce (yep, lettuce), threw it up and then tried to force said thrown up lettuce down my throat.”

I think if it tasted like soap it would be a step up on my taste buds!

And by the way, the afore said description is exactly how I describe how it tastes when someone makes a judgment on why this white girl cannot stand Cilantro.

If I ask for something without it, and it arrives, I will destroy the food and then send it back. The places I frequent know my preferences by heart....

I don’t “think”cilantro tastes loke soap, know damn well that it does.

If one likes cilantro and gin, sounds like a major malfunction problem...IMHO.

I have even added cilantro and onions to top off frozen pizza

Best case, it’s a weed that adds no value to anything.
