Aka coriander in the UK. You Brits have the weirdest nomenclatures. What next, you're gonna tell me eggplants are called aubergines? Get outta here.

Cilantro is the bee's knees
I like it on my tacos
I like it on my Pad Thai
It's my everyday supply
Without it I'd be lost
Trust us motherfucker
I use it in my hair
I use it in my balls
And even play solitaire

Cilantro is such a polarizing herb; those who love it swear by it, and those who hate it avoid it like cancer and talk mad shit about it behind their backs. So which side are you on?

Now that @RowdyLesnar is banned I can even throw you a vote for Worst Thread Starter too. But you will have a lot of competition with @Danger Dave and the reining champ @NoGoodNamesLeft it's looking like it will be a contentious awards season this year.

Hey, did you know that cilantro tastes like soap to some people?
 
I like it in my tacos, but I hate fresh onions.
Be interesting to see how many people hate fresh onions vs coriander cilantro.

Cilantro is weird. Every time I see a hipster spot. That is their preferred garnishing. They add more of it so they can charge you more money.
Personally it makes no real difference to me. I see it in Vietnamese places. It makes no difference I have it or not. Even with Mexican food, I don't give two shits about cilantro itself but I get super happy when I see pico de gallo

Weird theory about cilantro being used to justify high prices, as it's cheap AF. It's also a key ingredient in Pico de Gallo.

I know it is an ingredient and the price. I just don't care for it by itself. Go look at any Asian place that caters to primarily to hipsters

Isn't it just a common ingredient in a lot of SEA dishes?

I'm just not seeing this connection between hipsters and cilantro, lol...

It is a common garnish for Asian and Middle eastern food but there isn't an extraordinary amount of it. You can also see it on top of avocado toast and in non Asian salads in America now. It's even in Chilli at trendy BBQ spots. You even see it in Ramen in America. It's a novelty ramen in Japan. Next time you see it and it doesn't belong there. You might be the hipster.

Again, I just don't see this hipster connection. Cilantro is delicious provided you have the right genes. Put it in whatever food you want. Has nothing to do with being a "hipster"...

It's not a defect, it's a superior sense of smell and taste. There is a compound in cilantro that tastes like soap, it's just that your defective, shoddy sense of smell can't perceive it.

Filthy animals might as well be shoveling shit down your gullets, convinced it's chocolate while telling those of us that can smell the difference we're the defects.

I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like shit. But I still love it and eat it every chance I get because it’s super healthy and a great chelator of heavy metals in the body
