The plant is called Cilantro, used for its leaves. It’s seeds are called coriander and have a much stronger flavor.

So, they taste even more like dish detergent...................

Aren’t humans at the very top of the food chain?

I dislike fresh cilantro but when it is dried, I like it! Figure that one out.

The smell goes away?...................

Clearly we are more evolved than those who can not detect the aromatic chemicals that others find pleasant..

You know.......once you get past the feces explosion.

I make no comment as to who is more or less "evolved". Some things are an acquired taste such as Pollo En Molé. Being that I was born and raised down here on the Texas/Mexican border, I've been eating these kinds of foods all my life and I like it.
However, I am very well aware that certain of our "local foods" are an acquired taste as I have said.
Take Pollo en Molé For example. I grew up eating it and I love it. All of my relatives from up north absolutely hate it. It is an acquired taste.
As to the cilantro, I didn't know so many people hated cilantro until I started reading this thread. Down here where I live everybody eats it. Always have and probably always will I guess. This thread has been an education for me.

As to the feces explosion problem. Well that doesn't bother me since I grow my own coriander.

When buying salsa I tend to look for visible cilantro.

So do I. If I see it, I leaves it...................(pun intended)...............

Do they have an idea what percentage of the pop has the soap taste and what % has the lemon taste receptor?

4-14% ACCORDING TO hUFFpO................. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/24/why-does-cilantro-taste-bad-like-soap_n_7653808.html

I also add Cabbage, Corn on the Cob and 1 Jalapeno (Optional). You can put any veggie you desire does not need to have exactly like I do. Those are my favorite veggies for my soup that is why. LOL

For a side dish is Rice, I make Mexican Rice to go along with it on the side too.

I love soup. Make it all winter. Mostly vegetable beef. Also though chicken. So I’ll try this too. I’ll copy it into my recipes. Thanks again.

That is a very small group. Anywhere from 1 out of 25 to 1 out of 7.

I sure hope there is some tangible benefit to being in that group, i’m one of them.

[Secret Agent Man]

No, just genetically different. I saw no hint at implying inferior anywhere.

Avoiding death by not eating contaminated cilantro is pretty tangible in my book.....................

[Secret Agent Man]

i doubt cilantro is the only contaminated crop like this.

[Red Badger]

Most likely not, but to me it’s still a ‘benny’.............
