Take fresh warm pita, slather with mango pickle and firm yoghurt. Top with generous handful torn coriander, cucumber batons, tomato wedges. Wrap up, eat over the sink.

I was also a soap taster. To make matters worse my dad bought some cat repellent for the x-mas tree that was basically really strong cilantro. I think it put off my cilantro appreciation for an additional 5 years. This article is kind of interesting. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/14/dining/14curious.html?_r=0 Cilantro is the poo poo now.

I guess my dislike of coriander is due to my immature taste buds and not simply not liking something. I suppose that's just not allowed, or evidence of my inferiority to you and your sophisticated tastes. Evidently a mature palate enjoys absolutely every flavour. Well, why don't you pat yourself on the back, and then do a bit more growing up.

Yeah, I hate the taste of caraway, it's a culinary squick for me. And no, I don't hate other people for liking it, it just has such a pervasive taste that it can ruin food for me quite easily, so I stay away from it. We're talking about adults with a considered opinion on the taste of something, and that opinion is "no thanks" - it's not a 4 year old throwing broccoli across the room because it has the wrong loving shape or name or has a new and strange smell.

Dane posted:Indeed. You are so right! I am not quite where I actively avoid cilantro, mainly because it just isn't interesting to my palate.. It is kinda like... Well.. Just doesn't bring anything to a dish besides itself. Doesn't really compliment the taste of everything else. Subjectively I may be wrong - objectively nobody should give a poo poo about my opinion on this subject, because it doesn't matter. The reason why some people have to excuse their food behavior might be because some people turn into evangelists when they find out that there's something they don't like... 'Oh you don't like apples, try this one... This is excellent... Go on... Try one... I promise you, this one is special... Have you ever heard the proverb about apples and doctors? They really are good for your eyesight... Did you know these random apple facts? Let me subscribe you to this weekly apple newsletter 'the orchard in you' etc... In cases like these, I would argue that the reason why there's so many people who are 'allergic' is because of the reaction to them simply not liking something..

Like wrought said, it's more for the people who justify their dislikes by contorting science and saying that they're born with it or some such poo poo. Still, saying that you unilaterally don't like something so ubiquitous in so many cuisines is pretty immature and I don't see how anyone could think otherwise. That said, I don't like French Onion Soup Mix at all, so I guess we're pretty much the same, or something. ~olivebranch~ I get the food evangelist thing, but, idk, I would say that avoiding all preparations of something based on what minimal experiences you've had in the past that led to your prejudices is pretty immature. I think we're talking about two distinct groups of people though. Those that tend to not like, and those that will never try something because they hate it. The "tend to not like" crowd I have no qualms with as long as they are open minded and are willing to try new things.

What about avocados? My gag reflex triggers every single time an avocado or avocado-flavored anything (guacamole) goes into my mouth. Like you can make me a sushi roll with avocado inside it and not tell me there's avocado and imagine I didn't see it. One bite and I'm fighting the urge to spit it out and throw up all over the table. I'm pretty sure I wasn't abused with avocados when I was growing up so it can't be that.

Already people here have said how they think otherwise. I cook a lot; I have a broad range of foods I enjoy. That said, there are some things (not many - but caraway is among them, Dane!) that I just don't like. What is hard to comprehend about that? Do you like every single flavour you come across? Taste is inherently subjective. And what's this poo poo about "unilaterally"? Who else should decide what I do or do not like? A committee? I have tried coriander many times to check that my tastes haven't changed, or I come across it (and other disliked foods), and I can taste them instantly, and I don't enjoy eating them. If you think that makes me immature then you're an imbecile and frankly, in that case I don't care what you think as your opinions have no credibility.

Oh well, lots of other people like this so I guess I have to like it too, otherwise I'm immature? Saying "I don't care for thing" is not the same as "that thing is bad and noone should like it". What is the threshold for enough people disliking something that it becomes okay to prefer not to eat it because its not to your taste? How many cuisines need to enjoy this or that ingredient before it becomes immature for me not to like it? Four? Six? I try to have an open mind but I don't enjoy every single thing I put into my mouth. I'll even usually try to have said thing in a couple of different ways/places, just to make sure I didn't get a "bad one" or have it prepared poorly, but sometimes I still don't like it. I guess I'm actually a child. There is a reason 'taste' is a euphemism for one's subjective enjoyment of something. There are lots of reasons why people won't try some things or continue to eat them after they've tried them and some of them are widely considered more or less valid than others. To suggest that there isn't a single valid (mature) reason to dislike a particular ingredient just because a lot of other people like it is super duper dumb, I have to say.

I just steeped some dried cilantro in a tea ball. A few things I found: 1. If you do this, the cilantro fits out the holes in the tea ball, making the ball useless and just something else to clean. 2. Don't bother doing this. 3. I've determined cilantro tastes like "herb." Maybe it needs the other flavors in dishes to complement, but it doesn't really seem to stand up on its own. I guess my opinion is indifference. I'm not sure where on the age range this puts my taste buds. SubG posted:Bahn mi. After looking it up, this sounds delicious. I'm going to make cilantro-lime chicken first (recipe comes on the side of the herb container) to see if my wife likes it before I try to make anything she's never heard of. She claims to dislike cilantro, so I want to try it in something she's more likely to enjoy first.
