tastes like coriander

>>15947812
tastes the same as the genelets, just not in an unpleasant way

I like how it gives a "fresh leafy" taste to food (when added raw).

>>15947812
I used to hate it, it's an acquired taste and I think the soap gene thing is bullshit.

>>15947812
Its a less potent parsley I find.

>>15947812
it tastes like it smells, but when you use it in a salad or with onion and tomato it gives it a really cool and refreshing flavor that relaxes me when i eat it

>>15947812
It's really kind of a hard taste to describe, fairly strong, citrusy but in a different way that citrus fruits.

>>15947812
Tangy, fresh, and tiny bit leafy. I eat tablespoons of the stuff, in one meal, when I have it lying around

Carrot greens are very similar.

If they don't taste like soap to you, then that's likely the best approximation you'll ever get. Cilantro is like that but a bit less sweet, more "spicy".

It's a weird thing. It's nothing special, but it's nothing special in such a way that it's just wonderful.

I have the soap gene according to 23andme, and at first it tasted slightly soapy, but it grew on me and now it only tastes like a brilliant freshness and almost like a leafy mouth cleanser in your mouth and it's one of my favourite herbs ever

>pic related, you can smell the orgasmic freshness through the screen

Can't speak for others, but to me it has a slightly "minty" taste to it.

Get some stink bugs and let them spray your hands with their stink
Now imagine you can taste that smell, that's what it tastes like to me
Hated it as a kid but love it now

Cilantro is great for metal detox, combined with chlorella which mops up what cilantro dislodges.

It has a 'fresh' taste that especially goes well with certain Asian and Mexican dishes. Think parsley or chives but with a lettuce crispness and tang that compliments dishes but might not be impressive on its own.

it's a very distinct fresh, citrusy taste

>>15947812
Tangy and fresh. Chilis OTOH taste exactly like dish soap.

Like hops.

>>1594781
Exactly.

FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME OP, YOU COPYPASTA SPAMMING BOT, a small amount of cilantro can make a dish 10x better. but if you overdo the cilantro like all of the chucklefuck wannabe poser chefs out there, if you even add A LITTLE more than a very tiny amount to a dish, it does NOT matter if you have the soap gene or not. it will overpower the dish and ruin it.

less is more with cilantro. I love it, but too much is pure evil and wrong.

NOW STOP MAKING THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>15947812
It brings a freshness like a subtle citrussy flavour would but not actually citrus.

>>15947812
Like savory mint

>>15947812
i dont get citrusy from it.. it does taste a little like carrots and parsley mixed. it's fresh, zesty. second only to dill for me as a favorite herb

>>15947812
I have the soapy cilantro gene and I still like it

>>15950687
none of that shit is real, stop reading women's checkout magazines

>>15951653
I disagree, especially if you only have dried stuff on hand. It can easily get lost

>>15947812
Taste like a beautiful summer eve

>>15947872
this, as I kid I thought it tasted soapy but I'm fine with it now

>>15947812
That shit needs the roots so you can bash them up to make a green curry from scratch.

You'd be suprised at how many tastes buds you lose when you age. My guess is your old and can't taste how bad coriander is. To me coriander is unedibly soapy. It ruins food by being way too strong tasting.

>My guess is your old and can't taste how bad coriander is. To me coriander is unedibly soapy. It ruins food by being way too strong tasting.
My guess is you're a tastelet retard, and the legions of geriatrics all over Asia eating the shit out of it would tend to back that up.

>>15947872
it isnt bullshit. you are just an inferior tastelet.

>>15952402
Mixed with aromatics it smells delicious, it's just a shame it loses so much flavour in the pan

Like the Lord's own pubes

>>15952507
Please don't be disrespectful to people with genetic differences

>>15947815
A littlebit like parsley as well.

>>15947872
Fucking this. It tastes the same to everyone. It's just people are divided into those who push through and acquire the taste and those who pussy up and refuse to acquire the taste. First time I tried it I thought cilantro was disgusting, but now I love the fresh, clean, green flavor it adds.

>>15947872
Me too. But it taste like soap to me.
I love it in asian broth with lime, but I don't like it in dry dish

>>15947812
Tastes like shit im not kidding. At my boarding house the kitchen cunts would put it in every decent meal and just fucking wreck the whole thing. I hated those wagies that worked in the kitchens. I wanted to fucking kill them. It gets to you when you repeatedly have to rely on someone else to feed you and everytime they do it they fuck it up. Sometimes lads in the boarding house would just fucking snap one day at the kitchen staff and yell at them in front of everybody coz the food was so shit or the portions were tiny or they would give some cunt in front of you more food. You better believe i had the biggest grin on my face.

>using genetics as an excuse for having a child's pallete
ngmi

>>15947812
Tastes a tiny bit lemony, tiny bit peppery, and still a little "soapy" but it's not noticeable unless eaten raw by itself. It really has its own flavor, kinda bitter like basil but different.

>>15951653
I've literally added fuck tons of cilantro to meals it does not ruin it.

>>15947812
i thought i didn't have the soap gene because i had only tried dried coriander until a few years ago when i got an indian takeaway with fresh leaf and it just tasted like pure soap
>>15947872
i think you might be right, only because i read the same thing about cruciferous vegetables tasting inedibly bitter to some people. i disagree because i hate cauliflower and brussels sprouts but love broccoli

Imagine paying to give your personal data away to corporations and law enforcement.
