The Ink-Pot and the Palette

(Another tab I've had saved in my browser to come back to when I had a moment!)

So hilarious that you posted about this, because the day you did -- or the day I read it, at least -- we had this very discussion at work, re: cilantro love vs. cilantro hate. I'm the only person I know who hates it, everyone else loves it. Tastes like soap/astringent to me. And as you say, removes a wide swath of Mexican and Indian food for me unless it can be left out.

I think I've mentioned before that S and I are pretty certain I'm a supertaster. Cilantro is one of the foods that super tasters tend to not be able to enjoy. I tend to keep trying these things, however, in the hope that this time, this time it'll be different, to varying degrees of success. You give me hope that that approach may some day yield results.
