That Awful, Awful Herb
Sage Advice
There’s a scientific reason for all that loathing: 10% of the population was born with a genetic defect variant. Researchers looked at the genetics of about 14,000 people and found a DNA variation believed to be the root cause of the soapy smell and taste some people associate with cilantro.In other words, my genes are messed up. Figures. And I marvel at the incredibly detailed science behind it:
The science of smell is fascinatingly complex and not entirely understood, but the current hypothesis is that having a C instead of an A in a specific location close to the OR6A2 gene, slightly alters the shape of the receptor molecule encoded by that gene, and allows cilantro molecules to activate receptors that in the rest of the population are only activated by soap/bleach/death molecules.My kids hate me. As it happens, Mrs. Muse and I are both in the 10%, so she never used fresh cilantro in any of the food she served. And when my kids got out on their own and started sampling other cuisine, they were all, like, "what makes this Thai dish taste so wonderful?" And then "well, why didn't I find out about this before?" So I have a question for you 'rons and 'ettes: 1. Do you think cilantro taste like soap? 2. If you don't think cilantro tastes like soap, how would you describe the taste to those of us for whom it tastes like soap?
Meanwhile, those of us who are genetically predisposed to dislike cilantro can sit back and enjoy some anti-cilantro haiku, courtesy of probably should be a finalist in the "They Have A Site For Everything" awards, http://www.ihatecilantro.com:
A perfect taco
Soiled by your presence
I wish death on thee Spring roll in my mouth
Evokes such unbridled hate
Into my napkin Soapy cilantro
The herbal potty-mouthwash
Invites me to curse Horrifying herb.
Any recipe it's in.
It's all I can taste. Vainly had she searched
For her people, those who knew
The taste of green soap Insidious leaf
I detect you in smallest
Of small quantities Sink full of dishes
wrapped into my tortilla
please hold the bubbles Cilantro garnish:
Like sprinkling soap flakes onto
a once-lovely dish. The next time I hear,
"But you'll like it in this dish!"
I will shank a bitch. "No cilantro, please"
Yet I know when it arrives
It will be present I hereby declare this to be an Open Thread

In a Denny's off of I-95, in the corner booth sit a man and a woman who look up as they are greeted.
"Hail Companions! I see you have received my summons!"
The man speaking has a deep voice and wears horned rimmed glasses, his head covered by an overly large horned helmet.
"Buzz! The resistance gathers! Buzz!" the woman says.
The man with the overly large helmet asks the woman "What are you doing?"
Pointing at her black and yellow striped outfit, the deely bobbers on her head, and gauze wings on her back, the woman says "It's my secret identity! I'm a bee! See? Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
She leaps up and darts around the diner.
"Just because your last name is Bee it doesn't mean you are one."
"Yes it does! Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!"
Shaking his helmeted head he then asks the seated man "And what on earth are you dressed as, Glenn?"
"I'm Santa Centaur! I will crush the evil Trumperor beneath my mighty hooves! He shall fear me!"
"Dressing up as a Brony with a Santa hat isn't so much scary as it is kind of nuts."
Santa Centaur holds up a colorful toy horse. "Don't listen to him Princess Sparkles! By the way, Keith, what's with the hat and stick, you a Minnesota fan?"
"True, my compound is hidden deep in the woods of the land of 10,000 lakes and 10,000,000,000,000 mosquitoes, but it is more. This spear and The Magic Helmet of the Olbermann will let me lead the Popular Front for the Resistance to Trump to victory!"
Santa Centaur holds up the toy horsey and shakes his head. "Princess Sparkles is the leader and it is the Trump Liberation Front."
"No it isn't," interrupts the Bee. "It's the Peoples' Army Against Trump that shall sting him for our triumph! Buzz! Buzz!"
Keith shakes his spear, yelling "Splitters! You are all in the pay of the Trumperor!"
The three turn about as a deep voice states "You know, it isn't polite to plot my demise without me being consulted. Yuge mistake. Sad."
Next to the Bunn Pour-O-Matic stands Trump the Barabarian holding a cup of coffee, the Golden Scalp Weasel shining. Red Melania stands next to him, rubbing her arms, the chain mail bikini reflecting the red light of the warming lamps. "Dahling, eet ees chilly; can you dispose of them queekly so we can get back to the limo?"
"Not a problem it will be magnificent - brief - but magnificent," says Trump as he adjusts his fur loincloth and draws his sword.
Keith raises his spear to the ceiling, dislodging a tile, and shouts "By the Power of the Bathtub of the Olbermanns!" and his helmet glows.
Santa Centaur holds up the toy horsey, neighing "Friendship is magical! Hoof Stomping spectacular! Buy Gold! Charge!"
The Bee spins, yells "Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Wouldn't want to Bee Ya!"
Red Melania rolls her eyes as the melee begins and heads to the counter. "Yes two coffees to go; one black the other with cream and Sweet and Low."
Screams come from the corner booth accompanied by neighing, buzzing, and the hissing of the Golden Scalp Weasel.
"And two slices of Key Lime pie. Zank you."

Phenylthiocarbamide is commonly used in taste tests, where the ability to taste it is again genetic.

OTOH, I can't smell hydrogen cyanide, which is unfortunate indeed for a chemist. I found that out once working in the lab when someone entered and said, "Jesus Christ, this place REEKS of HCN!" Turns out someone was purging a KCN solution with argon and had led the pH get a little too low.
I couldn't smell a thing.

Without working too hard on it, I'd say it's a "fresh" flavor, not as cool as mint, not as strong as big leaf or Genoa basil, but with the same flavor profile (subtle), not sharp.
Of course context is everything and one can overwhelm any dish with almost any ingredient. But cilantro properly used does not dominate any of the dishes where it's best - as a topping on good street tacos, in Thai stir-fry dishes. It's delicate and really can only be added uncooked, cooking pretty much destroys it.

Come sit by me, joncelli. I think cilantro tastes like soap, and I have severe lactose intolerance, as well as a shellfish allergy.
My daughter has the soap/cilantro thing, and is also allergic to tomatoes, strawberries and potatoes. She stops breathing when she eats them.
I have to be really creative with meals.

The thing is that I didn't start being lactose intolerant until 3 or 4 years ago (about the time my gall bladder started to go downhill, now that I think about it). Before then I could eat as much ice cream as you could put in front of me and swill egg nog at the holidays. Now that would lead to an unfortunate outcome, so to speak. Thank God for Lactaid.

It is not as resin-y as good olive oil. but I admit it might tinge to an almost soapy scent.

On brussel sprouts???
change your nic to WTF?
Posted by: fixerupper at December 21, 2016 12:44 PM (8XRCm)
Green beans, brussel sprouts and most other vegetables are all fantastic, if you know how to prepare them.
How many people go through life thinking green beans are those grey, mushy things that used to be served in school cafeterias? Or even "fuzzy" ones? The Capital Grill, one of the best steak houses around, serves brussel sprouts roasted in a balsamic glaze with leeks, which is to die for.
People don't spend enough time or effort on the lowly vegetable, choosing instead to mortgage their home for a new meat smoker. If there's a veggie out there that you don't like, your just fixing it wrong.

It's pretty good when it's fried. I prefer batter frying it, but my dad used to soak it in buttermilk, toss it in corn meal, and then fry it. He would eat it like popcorn. But he also loved dill, and would use pickle juice as a salad dressing, so I question his taste buds.
I do find it interesting that I hated dill as a kid, but now that I am older, I crave it. I love boiled new potatoes tossed with olive oil and fresh dill, with grilled salmon. Yum. Now I'm hungry for lunch.

I don't know how to describe the taste, but this is the first time I've heard the soap comparison.
Now... mayonnaise. I hate mayonnaise with the fury of a fire in a sugar factory, but worse. And it is every f***ing where. People now put it in Caesar salad dressing. It ruins most dips. It even goes in steak tartare - the iconic bistro Balthazar in NYC has it as part of the steak tartare recipe in their cookbook, for God's sake.
Nowadays, chefs make a reputation for their aiolis. It's mayonnaise with a few spices for whatever's sake. I once received a burger in a great hotel in SF that was slathered with mayonnaise. When I noted that that was not listed as an ingredient on the menu, the bartender noted that they would provide a replacement burger, but "Gee, the chef is just really known for his aiolis".
Big mayonnaise permeates our food culture like a poisonous gas, but is arguably worse.
Don't even get me started.

Roasted beets are great. So are roasted green and red bell peppers. Most roasted veggies are good.
And green beans with a mustard vinaigrette are also good.
Once I got past the canned and Bird Eye's frozen veggies of my childhood and started preparing fresh veggies, I found I liked most of them.
Not okra though.

Sorry... but this just pisses me off.
Its not a DEFECT... its a difference.
Maybe that gene sequence only does that... maybe it does something else... but the hubris to say this minor variant, is a DEFECT?
Clue Bat... one of the best historic fencers in the Nation, has an extra vertebra... also, his arms are slightly longer than what is normal for his height...
Is that a defect?

I don't care if it's healthy. I would rather die than eat it. That's not very healthy.
Usually the same people trying to sell you on "clean eating." Bah!
And don't get me started on the attempts to popularize eating bugs.
Eating *bugs* tastes like failure (or so I imagine), particularly when it's pushed by people who want me to give up beef and bacon because of livestock flatulence. Crickets are pet lizard food, I'll take a BLT.

Which reminds me of when a group of us sophomores from my all boys high school went on a field trip to a famous art museum, whereupon we spotted an attractive woman in her young 20s rocking a pair of shorts like this with an even more pronounced camel toe. Fuck Rembrandt! We followed her around like a pack of little puppies. She still comes up at reunions.

But I also absolutely love almost all veggies and herbs. My dear hubby hates almost all of them.
The only exception is red, green, orange, yellow peppers. He eats them raw like apples or something. I can sort of stand them if they are cooked in something although I usually pick them out. But I can't eat them raw. They burn my mouth. He seemed puzzled when I told them they burn since they don't burn him a bit. He thinks they taste sweet and sort of "peppery".
I'd ask him if cilantro tastes like soap if I could ever get him to try a piece. We were engaged to be married the first time he ever tried a lettuce salad and he was 40 years old the first time he tried cooked cauliflower. He likes them both now, so there is hope for cilantro. I'll just have to be patient.

Your tuna salad recipe sounds a lot like mine, although when I am feeling nostalgic for my college days I leave out the onion and celery (there was a cheap sandwich shop that used to make their tuna salad with just relish and mayo and sold two sandwiches for a buck, so I ate there for lunch a lot).
However, I did try adding cilantro to my regular (i.e. relish-based) tuna salad and it didn't work (at least for me). The flavors of the relish and the cilantro were both very detectable and seemed incompatible. When you substitute capers for the relish you don't really taste them as a separate component, but they add something to the blend that creates a very satisfactory result.
Kind of like some dishes/pastries etc. have sweet and savory versions that both seem to work.

But taste is highly individualized. Does ciliantro taste like soap? Is green tea far more bitter than black tea? Is celery bitter or flavorless? There are probably hundreds of these things.
You really want to really torque your noggin, experience of color may be different. It's not just color blindness, you and someone else can totally agree on which color is which but your brains can see different things.
Anyway, people in my family experience taste very differently, so you can imagine how fun food has been.

This is a Korean breakfast dish featured in the WSJ a few years ago. I make it all the time - oatmeal, an oz or so of tofu (I often leave the tofu out), one raw egg, sriracha, salt and pepper. Cook the oatmeal and then stir in egg and tofu and cook for another minute or so.
Have it for breakfast and you won't need to eat until dinner.
I like it, but everyone else I know thinks it's weird.

Cilantro is one of the herbs in the garden most "eager" to crossbreed, usually with parsley. Hard to tell the cross apart. And the taste is mild, maybe even a little bland, and, sure enough, soapy.
There's a chance you have what Fields called "an Algerian in the fuel supply."
You have to watch that straight mint, too. It is a sexy, sexy beast.
Posted by: Stringer Davis at December 21, 2016 01:17 PM (H5rtT)
yes, I think so. I can't stand green tea, but my sister loves it.
And yeah, if you don't like something you don't like it. However, like jwest pointed out, sometimes you don't like something just because you've always had it prepared in a crap way, like veggies out of the can. Sometimes when you try a food you hate in cooked in a new way, you find that it's actually quite good.
That's not true of cilantro though. If it tastes like soap to you, nothing will make it taste good.

Fried eggs, sunny side up or just barely over easy. Need that yolk as runny as possible. Toasted rye bread. Lots of ketchup. You know you have it right when the yolk and ketchup intermingle in a bloody mess.

447 Coddled eggs! The Brits make soft scrabbled eggs that are not dry."
Scramble eggs slowly over low heat and they will not be dry. I don't "thin" them with anything.
You can toss an awful lot of things into scrambled eggs and they will be good - sautéed mushrooms, diced ham, cherry tomatoes, herbs , cheese - the same sort of things you might put in an omelet.
But ketchup? You'd have to hold a gun to my head.

interesting theory - that women don't look in the mirror after getting dressed. Just kidding.
I expect she didn't just accidently put those on. I expect she knew she was going to be out in public, in front of a camera, doing a story. In my limited experience, dressing is one of the more conscious actions women undertake prior to camera time.

By the way, the plant bolts quickly. Once that happens, the taste changes from tangy to nastily bitter. It may be that some of the problems experienced with coriander comes from the supplier having harvested the plants too late.

38 What happened to Bay Leaves?
They are all green and fresh looking, now. And they taste like shit compared to the dried out, pale Bay of my chilldhood. Posted by: garrett at December 21, 2016 12:32 PM (pfa8g)
We have a bay laurel tree - great to stick the leaves under chicken skin before roasting, great to flavour custards too. It can be a little difficult to find the plant, but they are reasonably cool weather tolerant, or you could grow them inside in a pot. Bay laurel has that bay taste but with floral and herbal overtones, and the leaves are a little more narrow. I think (I could be wrong), the jars have California bay, which is different.

One of the only herbs that cant be dried. I never noticed that until she pointed it out. She was trying to isolate the "fresh" that cilantro brought to things like salsa. Conclusion: there is no way to do it with a dried herb substitute yet (soap or no soapy taste). Maybe the soap (chemical) is what goes away when it dries out?

the taste is hard to describe... tangy, but it really isn't that the herb itself is all that good it's how it makes everything else in the dish taste, it makes things that would be a little bland into things are to die for.

No, 90% have a genetic defect. The rest of us correctly identify Cilantro as a "death molecule." While the rest of the world waits for the causes of cancer, rhumatoid arthtitis, autism and irritable bowel syndrome to be discovered, we already know: don't eat soap!

For additional irony, when I mentioned my 'taste quirk' and and asked people: "So, what does cilantro taste like?", the usual response is a long moment of silence followed by... "Ah... it tastes like... ah, cilantro."

Get a bunch.Grab both ends and twist where the rubber band is, snapping off woody from leafy part.Before discarding the woody part smell the freshly cut end.Magic!.
Now wash leafy part (with a drop of soap, How about that!) rinse and put on the table. Use only your digits for Cilantro.Spoon and fork are for soup and main dish.
Cilantro's intense smell reminds me of the time I visited McCormick spice factory in Towson, Maryland.Two to three blocks before you actually arrive at the factory, that wonderful aroma dancing in air grabs and holds your attention.
