They don't serve cilantro at McDonalds so Americans haven't developed a taste for it.

I hate beets. Anyone who likes beets is a self centered asshole. Except for my wife - she's really nice. She likes beets though. We need to talk...

Find some food ingredient you hate. Start a website or blog. Find others with your same hatred. Socialize.

Enjoy life.

Boston....outside of it....
I just think I'm a victim of over-cilantro-ing


everything I have had it in, it just kind of dominates....and tastes like green soap


but I am convinced that someone around here will know the proper way to deal with it.

I used to hate eggplant too, until someone cooked it the correct way.

there's nothing 'to get' in terms of using fresh cilantro...like any fresh herb, it's added just before serving (aside from salsas, etc); at least that's how i use it. sounds like you either like the taste or you don't, or there is an EXTREMELY heavy hand putting it on the dish.

Most recent indulgence of cilantro....


I love it. There is nothing like taking a big bite of fresh cilantro & exhaling through your nose. My mom used to cook with it a lot when I was a kid, that probably explains why I like it so much.

Coriander is the old Latin-derived word, more commonly used in European cuisine. Cilantro is the Spanish-derived word, more commonly used in California [the closest thing to a true American 'Cuisine' there is!]
