For those who don’t think it tastes like soap go get a bar of ivory and really hit those back teeth with it. You’ll get it.
Fuck cilantro.
I don’t mind the taste, but I’m extremely sensitive to it. If there is one bit in the dish, all of it tastes like cilantro and nothing else. Is this also part of the soap gene?
The first time I had some salsa in a restaurant I was asking if they accidentally poured dish soap into it. It was inedible for me.
I only learned later that it was cilantro and that it is genetic.
I am still feeling sorry for the remark, but it was all I could taste and didn’t know any better.
i always hated weird mex and india foods and recently discovered: no they are not wierdos that like soap
What is the soapy gene?
A gene has been identified as a likely cause of why some people enjoy the smell and taste of coriander (also known as cilantro) while others have exactly the opposite reaction to the point of repulsion. Depending on ancestry, somewhere between 3% and 21% of the population associate it with unpleasant taste, including a combination of soap and vomit, or say that it is similar to the foul smelling odor emitted by stinkbugs. This is due to the presence of aldehyde chemicals, which are present in soap, various detergents, coriander, several species of stinkbugs and cinnamon.

I have the soapy cilantro gene. Cilantro is one of my favorite flavors. No, I don’t generally like the taste of soap. The soapiness of cilantro is very mild for me and is lost in the strong flavor of the herb unless I specifically am looking for it.
i used to work at a poke shop and I had one regular that had a special kind of bowl: he wouldn’t get any rice or greens, not even any protein, he would request like 4 or 5 big scoops of cilantro. covered with crunchies like sesame and tempura flakes with sauce. Like this bro just eats cilantro salad every day
The guy transcended the coriander compass.
