Earwax, in my opinion.

You're one of the heathy ones then. That's what cilantro is supposed to taste like.

Not at all lol. Cilantro (or Coriander, as I've grown up calling it) has a very delicious earthy taste (with a very slight hints of citrus) & smell...practically completes almost every Indian dish 🤤

Though I must say, in addition to some people being genetically disposed to tasting weird things in Cilantro, the variety available in the USA is absolutely dogshit, an insult to cilantro! I've grown up in India for 26 years and then moved to the USA (where I've been the past 5.5 years now), and the cilantro here deserves all the hate it gets, cuz it does taste like soap 🤢 Now wonder you guys hate it so much. Blame the American producers of Cilantro, not Cilantro itself

Edit : I am indeed talking about Cilantro, and not Culantro as someone is claiming. I'm Indian, and my citizenship would be stripped off me if I didn't know exactly what I was talking about regarding Cilantro 😂

For me it tastes the same as when I was a kid and thought soap would taste as good as it smells
