Not our fault you are a genetic dead end and biological freak that will never ever get to taste how cilantro actually tastes.

Cilantro really needs to be used in the right foods. Stuff from places like Mexico, the Middle East, or India. Make yourself some falafel or fesh pico loaded up with diced cilantro and you'll get it

[Anonymous No.17581788]

I honestly feel bad for tastelets who are genetically unable to appreciate cilantro. It would be like not being able to appreciate black pepper. Sounds terrible

You got it backwards. """People""" who believe cilantro tastes good are the ones that can't perceive its true awfulness.

Why even use cilantro when you can use parsley instead

I wish cilantro wasn't so polarizing. I enjoy it. To my wife it tastes like soap. Some recipes it's essential, so I try to make hers separate. It's difficult sometimes though and the times I don't add it, it feels like its missing

86-96% of the population get to enjoy a great tasting widely beloved and cheap herb that adds freshness and flavor to a variety of savory dishes,
4-14% are degenerates that have fucked tastebuds as punishment because god hates them.
Surely it's those 4-14% that are right and don't have a disorder, not the majority enjoying life because their creator didn't despise the concept of them being happy.
You will never get to experience it and to cope you convinced yourself that your genetic shortcomings are actually reality and totally normal

[Anonymous No.17581864]

You just get over the smell eventually anon
Smells and tastes like crushed stink bugs but after you shovel it into your mouth, chew and swallow mindlessly for a few years the flavour becomes nice

fancy new supermarket opened and they had all kinds of produce. decided to try it, see what the all the fuss is about. big mistake. should have gotten some parsley too in hindsight.

it's literally that easy
>great for salads when raw
>great for stews when cooked
like any herb, just don't use too much or it'll overpower all other flavors.
also it literally comes from the ground so wash/disinfect it or it'll taste like dirt.
if none of this works then there is no turning back, you're too far into being a school-shooting white kid and your endgame in burgerland is to gobble on other cultures' watered-down bastardized gastronomy while watching black women twerk live on tv.

It's just a leaf. It taste like a leaf. It's not some mind blowing secret.
You just have to use it wisely. It's good when you want a clean crisp taste that cuts through something oily.

It depends on what dish its used in. Of course if you use it in cuisines where it's not used, it will taste like ass. Cilantro or Coriander as we call it here, normally is associated with Indian, South American cuisine. It definitely doesn't go well on pasta, it's quite aromatic so it needs to be added where there are several layers of flavours, otherwise it overpowers everything In a simple dish.

Did it tastes like soap?
Cuz there's people with a genetic issue that makes cilantro taste like soap.

[Anonymous No.17587925]

>>17586615
tried just bit of it at first on some oily, tomato based pasta and on its own. I'm aware I'm doing it wrong. It's described as refreshing and cuts through oily / meatiness but when that flavor and aroma hit, its not what I imagined. other anons said it goes with tacos so I might try that.
>>17587813
It didn't taste like soap for me. A tad bitter with an awful smell that I couldn't stand

[Anonymous No.17587932]

Did you just rip the leaves off/
I find that it's more enjoyable with dicing it into fine pieces rather than whole leaves.

[Anonymous No.17587936]

>>17587932
I coarsely chopped the leaves before mixing. When that didn't work, tried a whole leaf as well to just to see what's up. Didn't bother finely chopping though.

People, who hate cilantro do so, cause they have more receptors in their nose that recognise the two chemicals present in both cilantro and stinkbugs.
They smell MORE of the stuff that's in the leaves, so they have more accurate perception of them.
Liking cilantro is like not being able to smell the stench of shit and thus claiming it is delicious
