What does it taste like for people without the OR6A2 mutation that makes it taste like soap?

People use that gene as an excuse but really it's easy to teach yourself to enjoy flavors. I've only seen children and childish adults say that to me like they want to be pampered. Great you're a unique snowflake, just like all of the others

To me like a cross between flat leaf parsley and mint.

First time I tried it, I got no soap taste at all, so I continued eating it. glad I'm part of the master race and won't be the first in the ovens.

adding cilantro stems to salsa puts it on a higher level

Never tasted like soap for me as much as it did rotten greens. After 30+ years of being absolutely repulsed by it, I've recently started to enjoy it tremendously.

I used to dislike it because the soap taste was acute for me. But I kept gradually exposing myself to it over some years and grew to love it.

Isn't it only supposed to be a small percentage of people that taste soap? I run into people who hate it for that reason all the time.

Doesn't taste like soap to me but I still don't care for it, nor most herbs. Just pointless weird flavors added to food for no reason (except to mask rotten ingredients perhaps).

It tastes like distilled freshness.

Mutants like OP should be placed inside a gas chamber.

It's simply that some people buy flavorless mccormick-tier spices and others don't.

I'm really sorry about palatelets and manchildren/womanchildren missing out on the exquisite flavour of Cilantro. Maybe one day they'll see the correct way but in the meantime keep enjoying your greasy foods and sugary drinks weaklings.

fpbp cilantro is meant to be paired with another thing. Nobody eats black pepper or salt alone and then retardedly dismiss it as gross.

pure castille soap is actually pretty neutral in flavor before they add shit to it, a little bit alkaline, if that's a flavor

No idea. I'm one of the people that tastes pure soap. Fucking disgusting. People put that shit in everything too.
Every time I'm browsing FB, people always post dozens of those quick cooking videos from "Tasty" and "Buzzfeed". Every single one of them at the end dumps a bucket of cilantro on whatever they just made. Even if it has no business being in the dish.

>Chicken Alfredo
Cilantro.
>Philly Cheese Steak
Cilantro.
>Steamed Dumplings
Cilantro.
>Ice Cream Sandwich
Cilantro.

Chill out with that gross shit.

I was happy when I found out that I'm not weird for not liking that shit, and that the reason it tastes like garbage is because technically my taste buds work better than most of the population.
