can confirm that to me, cilantro has a soapy taste. Yuck, yuck, yuck.


Me too. My wife doesn’t believe me.

My theory is that some people never experimented with curse words when they were six years old and never had a bar of Ivory soap raked across their teeth vigorously.

In short, they have no idea what soap tastes like....I do and cilantro is much better.

Lemony anus doesnt belong on food. Its disgusting and Im “that guy that eats everything.” Like adding peppers to everything that shouldnt have them, its just the mexicanization of our food (not that pepper eaters have any idea what theyre eating).

FWIW north of the border, cilantro is also known as Coriander. And it was in use in Greece and Egypt for almost 4000 years.

I love cilantro. But it does sort of taste like soap.

I love cilantro and here’s a recipe for salsa I’m sharing with everyone and we think it’s pretty good.

SALSA
1 14-OZ CAN READY CUT TOMATOES OR IF YOU PREFER, 6 ROMA TOMATOES, REMOVE SEEDS AND CHOP INTO SMALL PIECES
1 CAN DICED GREEN CHILIES
1 TSP WHITE VINEGAR - OR MORE..DEPENDING ON YOUR TASTE
1 TSP KOSHER SALT
2 CLOVES CRUSHED GARLIC
½ TBS FRESH CILANTRO - OR IF YOU LOVE CILANTRO ADD MORE...I USE 1/4 CUP FRESH
4 CHOPPED GREEN ONIONS
¼ TSP OR MORE RED PEPPER FLAKES
PUT ALL INGREDIENTS IN FOOD PROCESSOR AND CHOP A FEW SECONDS. REFRIGERATE. KEEPS FOR 5-7 DAYS.

USE THIS RECIPE AS A GUIDE AND ADD AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE OF THESE INGREDIENTS. DO A TASTE TEST AFTER A FEW HOURS AND SEE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD MORE HEAT SUCH AS WHITE VINEGAR OR RED PEPPER FLAKES.

maybe a little bitterness like soap. I love our own fresh picked with tomato, sweet onion and some pickled jalapeno juice I could eat a whole bowlful.

Why cilantro tastes like soap to some people Whether you taste a mouthful of antiseptic when you chomp into a bite of cilantro-rich salsa comes down to a roll of the genetic dice.

As if I would ever chomp into a bite of cilantro-rich salsa or any salsa of any kind.   I'm one of those Southern "picky eaters" you've herd tell about.   I'll never know if cilantro tastes like soap to me but rest assured, my mind tells me that it is much worse.   I'll give you a hint, my first grade teacher made me sit alone in the cafeteria for hours after lunch to eat English peas.   I never did eat them.   Articles like this are Steven King stories for me.
