You are factually incorrect. I genuinely feel bad for those that got a critical botch on that particular roll of the genetic dice.

Cilantro is awful

it's crazy. reminds me of the well-done steak threads where people say "the chef should know how to season to make it more juicy".
Coriander and Cilantro are two different things from the same plant.
I don't know what this even means. Cilantro is an enhancement regardless of other seasonings.
I love those. "There's an art to cooking a well-done steak properly." As though there's some magical technique to it. I usually ask them for their secret, but have yet to get a response. :)
Thats a sad bummer for you. For me it tastes like the embodiment of freshness. Thats the only way I can describe it.

Mods are good and infallible
Yeah, cilantro os awful, but I have no problem with the existence of food I don't enjoy. The issue here is that too many restaurants liberally sprinkle it on their entrees even though 10% of the population think it tastes like soap. It should always be an optional garnish. When I see it mentioned on the menu (like as an ingredient in a burrito), I ask for it to be left out, but it's often thrown on to dishes with no warning. Just a bizarre business decision.
people out here thinking people willingly putting soap flavored plant on their food smh
cilantro is great

Mod propaganda accounts are out in force. Using your influence to promote lies that will lead to innocent people having to ingest such vile stuff. Honestly I expected far better 🧐🧐🧐
Counterpoint: cilantro is awesome.
I do understand for some people it tastes like soap and that's too bad for them.

I've told many lies in my life, but this is not one of them. Cilantro is great.
It's weird...I love cilantro, but when I heard about some people tasting it as soap, it triggered something from when I was a kid
When I was young, my Mom would sometimes order shrimp with lobster sauce from the chinese take out place...sometimes she would share some with me, which I liked, but would sometimes get a soapy taste.
Is it possible I "grew out of it"? Or they used some other type of cilantro?
Alls I knows is I definitely love it now

Exactly. Seasoning has nothing to do with your doneness preference or your genetic disposition.
Not to mention, it's like taqueria use cilantro as a flavor crutch to make their food good when really all it is is an enhancement. There's nothing more perfect than a taco de asada with salsa verde, onion and cilantro, literally the perfect bite.
Yeah, first results said Aubergine. More said Courgette.
Hang on, what's Zucchini? Oh a Courgette?
An Aubergine is the purple thing that's emoji is a euphemism for a penis. A Courgette is the weird green Cucumber but not a Cucumber thing.
I do have it, and it is a magic "make everything awful" ingredient to me. It really makes certain kinds of food completely inedible.
Counterpoint: crushed red pepper flakes
I should almost be embarrassed by how much I use it but I'm not in the slightest.
Having said the above, there ARE times when I can manage it if the cilantro is fine enough and the rest of the ingrediants strong enough to cover it, but it still tends to leave a lingering bad taste for awhile. Soups/stocks or things heavily flavored by them are almost always a no-go. I tried Pho once on someone's recommendation, but they had so much cilantro on it I may as well have been washing my own mouth out with Irish Spring soap.
That, too, and salt. Which, with high blood pressure, is both my love and most hated enemy.
Only in America. From Google:
"Both cilantro and coriander come from the Coriandrum sativum plant. In the US, cilantro is the name for the plant's leaves and stem, while coriander is the name for its dried seeds. Internationally, the leaves and stems are called coriander, while its dried seeds are called coriander seeds."
It's purely a different naming convention.
That said, coriander is fantastic in Indian and Mexican food.

At least 1 of your tacos isnt ruined
Don´t you dare say that again.
Fantastic, you poor bastard.
If you like parsley, it's like that but amped up. It also has a citrus-like taste to it.
