The first time I tasted cilantro I was immediately reminded of the first (and 0nly) time I put a penney in my mouth. UGH!!

I like cilantro. If you want to have some fun put a handfull in some ready hot water. The smell will be so strong that you will need to leave your house!

Lol this cracks me up. I think cilantro is just an acquired taste. I grew up in the Northeast US and the first time I tasted the herb I was completely grossed out. Flash forward five years and having traveled extensively in S. America, I now LOVE cilantro. I feel like they’re a lot like tomatoes or peppers, when you taste them for the first time (usually as a kid), you don’t like them, but after continued exposure you grow to love them.

I used to think cilantro tasted like soap and refused to eat it and picked it out of everything. Now I love it, and when my GF picks it out of her food I add it to my dish. I have no idea how the change came about. Also, when cooked, my GF likes the flavor it adds to the dish.
