>>13000572
coriander*

>>13000640
mild, fresh, herby.

You have a genetic disorder. Not meming, it's a well known fact that some people are broken and taste cilantro as soapy or metallic.
Normal people taste it as fresh and leafy with a bit of citrus.

>>13000758
coriander is the name of the entire plant

Their is a minority percentage of people in the world who are genetically predisposed to disliking Cilantro. This is due to an improper gene sequence and it makes cilantro taste like soap. Congratulations you prove your genetic inferiority. Into the oven with you, shoo shoo.

>>13000766
So is cilantro. And Chinese parsley, for that matter.

It's literally called being a "supertaster"

cilantro in Spanish.

I know people think this, but I'm skeptical of the gene excuse. I suspect it has more to do with eating it as you grow up, and becoming familiar with the taste. Also I think for people that don't like it, if you start to use it more frequently and incorporate it into your recipes, you will eventually start to like it. It seems mainly that the people that hate it have not had it much in the past, and when they suddenly have it for the first time as an adult, or for the first time in a long time, they are shocked by its flavor and have a strong dislike for it. Regusa if you're reading this, I'd love you to investigate the issue and make an episode explaining your findings.

Those are all English names, but cilantro is the most common one.

>>13000833
cilantro is not English.

>>13000838
Of course it is.

>but I'm skeptical of the gene excuse
Why?
> I suspect it has more to do with eating it as you grow up, and becoming familiar with the taste
That doesn't make any sense, there are plenty of lifelong cilantro haters.

Eurofags know what Spanish is, only the Eternal Anglo insists on coriander.

You're the one with a genetic disorder. We taste cilantro as soapy because it contains molecules similar to those found in soap.
We can taste those molecules. You cannot.
Who are the broken ones between those who percieve reality and those who cannot ?
Are young people broken because they can hear unpleasant high-pitched sounds that the old cannot hear anymore ?

It's fucking coriander.

Yikes.

>>13001031
You taste cilantro as soapy because your genetic mutation binds the aldehydes incorrectly and misfires your tastebuds.
If normal people couldn't taste or smell aldehydes then we'd be a master race immune to stinkbugs, but it turns out stinkbugs repulse everyone universally.

just stick to microwaved ready meals, you will never ever be able to enjoy food correctly

>>13000829
No. Us without the gene literally only taste it as fresh and leafy with citrus overtones. Like a lemony parsley. No bad flavors at all, ever, even trying it for the first time as an adult.

I like cilantro, but it has a strong distinctive taste, I get how someone could dislike it. it's not subtle like basil or parsley, where it's almost impossible to use too much of it

>>13001515
Exactly. It's just a very strong flavor. It's not surprising some people are taken aback by it after trying it the first time.

>>13000660
When I first started eating cilantro it tasted like soap, but over time I've come to really enjoy it and can't taste that flavor anymore.

Like with any bitter food associated with the "supertaster" gene, I think some of it is just acquiring a taste for things you may not have been previously exposed to.

oh my god i fucking hate cilantro this tastes like fucking dish soap. how do you people like that shit

>>13002198
By not having a genetic malformation.

it doesnt taste like soap to me. we are wired differently. you are gay

Cilantro is very powerful. While it is intensly delicious, a good chef does not want to crowd out with a single herb all the rest of the flavors that are indicative of professional preparation and high quality ingredients.
If, however, you want to make your tongue allow your 2 week old lazy bachelor nutrition chow leftovers to pass unregurgitated towards your stomach, then cilantro is the magic ticket.

I eat cilantro to detox, after having first consumed chlorella. How it works is, cilantro causes the toxins to detach from your cells, while chlorella mops them up and prevents them from re-attaching to other sites in your body. I generally do this after a week-long water fast.
