Science says your tastebuds are lacking.

"How cilantro tastes to you has a lot to do with your genes," says SciShow's Hank Green. He explains that after conducting a few separate studies, scientists were able to pin down most cilantro haters as people with a shared group of olfactory-receptor genes, called OR6A2, that pick up on the smell of aldehyde chemicals. Aldehyde chemicals are found in both cilantro and soap. Uh, yummy?
it is interesting, people are usually all in or all out...the human taste sense is an amazing thing

cilantro has health benefits and tastes good with certain foods to me, I even eat a bushel as a salad sometimes if our garden has a surplus

but some foods that others love I will absolutely not taste or ingest...Humans are something

A proper taco, or even guacamole is not complete without cilantro.

My dad's gf hates Cilantro. I never understood it, it tastes like fuck all to me, while investigating coriander (that's what they call in in English) I saw that it divides opinion.


I agree with you about certain foods. I won't eat offal. Or dog livers. I don't even eat pork, let me explain, I will eat bacon, sausages, ham, but if it's a pork chop, minced pork, belly pork

Nah fuck that
I read somewhere that some people's taste buds make it taste like soap to them.

Maybe, but cilantro and coriander are used to define different parts of the Coriandrum sativum here. cilantro is the leaves of The plant while coriander are the dried, often ground into powder, seeds.

Got some Dutch processes cocoa coming in today. Going to actually make homemade brownies, instead of the boxed ones I tricked y'all with last time. As always we will be using King Arthur flour, there's no point it buying any other kind.

Chicken is in the oven at 350. Should take about 2 hours. House is going to smell amazing.

So I have to ask... What's so special about sour dough? I'll eat it but you seem super stoked about it. I have a buddy who loves it too but I've never really understood.

It's like a science experiment. And it's got a pretty good flavor. I really like it with pancakes and bagels.
