College Activists March on the Cafeteria: What Do We Want? Hydroponic Cilantro!
Wall Street Journal ^ | Sept. 6, 2017 | Quint Forgey and Patrick McGroarty

Students returning to the University of Texas at Austin this fall will have twice as much help wrestling with some of the big questions that college presents. For instance, does water contain gluten? And, is all food genetically modified?

“If you’re not eating good things, how do they expect your brain to grow?” said Hannah Logan, a senior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst majoring in sustainable food and farming.

UT students should only eat and plant native plants. Like Chiltepin!

Cilantro, or Chinese parsley, is the name given to the leaves of the coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum), while both the plant and the seed-like fruit are traditionally called coriander. This is changing, as many people who use the herb may be unaware that the plant yields another spice and refer to the entire plant as cilantro. The coriander plant is in the same family, Apiaceae, as anise, fennel, dill, caraway, and cumin.

The spice does have a very disagreeable taste to some people. Studies have been made but it's something of a mystery as to why.
Most people like it though.

Mine goes to a small engineering college. They have no dorm, only apartments. Wanna eat? Cook it yourself.

Plus, it’s a complete geek school. They are too busy learning stuff to bother with any of this SJW nonsense.

Most students have internships, many with security clearances. My kid has a job at NASA. Again, too busy for nonsense.

Thanks. Didn’t know why, just knew I didn’t like it.

She's had a lot of blowback from some very gassy vegans, too.

Gassy vegans, angry lesbians - is there any other kind?

Cilantro is the one that smells like an old wash cloth with mildew.

I feel as if I'm back in the cafeteria at elementary school in the 1960s. Cilantro is fantastico, in my opinion and that of my entire Trump-supporting family. I don't understand why you're piling on it, except to make fun of snowflakes. A worthy goal, by the way.

But if you don't want your cilantro, give it to me and I'll eat it and bring the leftovers home.

Ditto.

We must both have the gene that makes cilantro taste bad. It ruins Mexican food, it ruins South East Asian food. At least, if I prepare it home, I can leave the cilantro out.

Please eat it before it contaminates both food and drink, gin in particular.

I eat cilantro. I like it, but it does smell a little bit like mildew. I don’t want to put watercress into my salsa por accidente.

“You’ve got to keep pace with their expectations,” Mr. Faulkner said.

Anything to keep the students distracted while obscenely overcharging for continually diluted academics.

Thanks, Red Badger. That makes sense.

I’ll stick to my red and green chili and salsa, etc..

Cilantro tastes like dish detergent...........................

I'm with you.
Apparently cilantro is a love-hate herb. Some love it, others hate it. Nothing in between.
Tastes like detergent or soap to me also.
I simply omit it or sub parsley.

"The spice (herb actually when using the leaves) does have a very disagreeable taste to some people."

It's in your genes and in your head.
