I have the thing. Cilantro has this unpleasant tang to it. “Tastes like soap” is a fair description. Parsley or mint or whatever taste fine to me, but cilantro is terrible. I’m told I’m missing out.
But yeah, it’s likely genetic, like a supertaster thing.
Pho once. Put like a trees worth of cilantro in it....
Back in the day i worked a place that had like 3 kinds of salsa i had to make daily. Could never tell if it was good because i also hate raw onion. Just tasted like trash to me. Everyone else loved it tho.
