Today I read a fascinating article about cilantro and folks who absolutely hate it. Turns out that is due to a gene mutation which makes cilantro
taste like soap to those with the mutation.

I think I like Cilantro, but a little goes a really long way. It's like Chorizo.....if I eat it, my memory can't get rid of the taste for about a
year.

Cilantro tastes ok to me, but walnuts taste a
little like soap, although I still like them. Maybe something to that genetic thing.David K - 5-15-2013 at 07:39 AM

Many years ago when I smoked, I hated it, thought it tasted like soap. Since I quit, I absolutely love it.
That cant be genetic.Bob H - 5-15-2013 at 08:30 AM
