My girlfriend is a smart ass and she said that there's some gene which dictates if cilantro smells nice to you or reeks to you.
She loves cilantro and I want to vomit when I smell it. That's especially weird when considered, that we have similar palettes and tend to eat almost everything what's not dribbling of grease.

Like any herb cilantro is fine in the right doses in the proper dish. Only thing I despise is a cilantro garnish, it's cheap and lazy.

The cilantro taste is genetic. It tastes like soap to me. Like putting a bar of soap on your tongue.
The rest of my family does not have this.
You can look this up.

Cute.
If you think cilantro smells bad you have poor fucking genetics and no taste and you're probably a chicken tendie chomping faggot
I bet you wear glasses, have one or many food allergies, and needed braces as a kid you fucking malformed wastes of carbon.

I eat chicken tendies a lot for my gains,[spoiler] I'm /fit/izen.[/spoiler]
>I bet you wear glasses,
No.

Zero allegries. Except cats.
>and needed braces as a kid you fucking malformed wastes of carbon.
My teeth are straight and I didn't need braces.
It smells and tastes like stink bugs to me.
Could this potentially be why a lot of people don't like it?
It was an acquired taste for me.

Yup, there's a compound in Cilantro that reacts to your Olfactory senses.

>When people say they hate cilantro, they often attribute this food feeling to a soapy aftertaste. Thanks to a new video from SciShow, we finally know why cilantro tastes like soap for some 4-14 percent of the population.
“How cilantro tastes to you has a lot to do with your genes,” says SciShow’s Hank Green. He explains that after conducting a few separate studies, scientists were able to pin down most cilantro haters as people with a shared group of olfactory-receptor genes, called OR6A2, that pick up on the smell of aldehyde chemicals. Aldehyde chemicals are found in both cilantro and soap. Uh, yummy?

this is racist
I think it is genetics. It tastes soapy to me on its own, but quite tasty when it combined with other ingredients.
Cilantro smells nice but tastes like soap.
