Either way, can you describe what the flavor is like to you?

 

[Buxtehude]

It tastes like parsley on crack!

 

[hahaoya]

I love cilantro. I love the smell, too. It's just so...herbal!

 

[Buxtehude]

I shall wear a sprig of it in my hair.

 

[diablita]

you two are funny<br><br>
I'd like to like it, but blech. It tastes like soap to me. And that's what it smells like. I used to buy it for my bunny from time to time (variety) and it was a labor of love, I tell ya, cause the smell rubs off on my hands.<br><br>
I can tolerate a small amount as an accent note in spicy salsa or aji amarillo (Peruvian dipping sauce)

 

[hahaoya]

You know, I never used to like it, and was always, "What's the big deal?"<br><br>
Bot now I love it so much that I grow it in my yard and whenever I water the plants I rub some leaves between my fingers and smell my hands obsessively until they ain't smell no mo'.

 

[Buxtehude]

It <i>is</i> rather soapy.<br><br>
Oh how I loathe cilantro.

 

[hahaoya]

Soapy? Explain that to me. Better yet, I'm going to go outside right now, rub it all over me, and see if I get weird looks. It'll be like a poll! BGrossed-out glances means they are cilantro haters. Drooling and quivering-of-lips means I've shot them with Cupid's arrow. <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">

 

[Buxtehude]

Haha makes herb threads sexy.

 

[hahaoya]

Hah!<br><br>
Like my momma always said to me: If ya got it, Trixie, flaunt it!

 

[hahaoya]

I'm kidding, or course. Okay, off to do a little experimenting. Wish me luck!

 

[diablita]

Report back, haha! I think I read that there's a chemical you either do or don't have, that influences whether or not you like the stuff. Funny enough, google led me to <a href="http://www.ihatecilantro.com/" target="_blank">this hilarious website</a>.

 

[triciaflower]

I like it because it's snappy and adds zip to salsa and soup.

 

[hahaoya]

I must have looked awfull funny with green smears all over my body because no one would come near me for a sniff. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"><br><br>
I never knew cilantro was so hated. Huh.

 

[diablita]

No drooling and quivering of lips? sorry <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"> But thanks for taking one for the team! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
I wish I could tolerate it.

 

[seattlegirl]

The best way I can think to describe it is that it tastes like "fresh."

 

[bootsie]

mmmmmmmm...cilantro!

 

[Gingerbread]

Good stuff! Haha, sorry you didn't get the drooling <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"> perhaps you just didn't see enough people?

Cilantro is the devil. It tastes like vomit. I can't even walk by the noisome little herb in the grocery store without wanting to gag. Just thinking about it makes me angry. Grr.

 

[jebba]

The anti-cilantro haiku are awesome!
