It doesn't taste soapy to me, I just don't like that taste of it very much. But, I will usually still eat suff that has cilantro in it, unless there's a lot of it.

A friend once gave my family a casserole made with cilantro, and we all thought it tasted like soap.

Sure do! It's a necessity when making homemade salsa!

I agree with the people on the link.

It tastes metallic and soapy. I didn't even realize it until we went to a local mexican restaurant that used it in their salsa. Ben pointed out what the taste was... but he likes it.

I don't know if I like it or not, I think I have had food with it in it.... But I do not remember hating that taste of it, I dunno... I can't believe that there is such a hate for it though, that someone would need to make a web site about it

But I used to dislike it. It tasted soapy and metallic to me but now it tastes great... I'd always heard that the way it tasted was determined by genetics, if so I guess I mutated.

In the last year or so I've come to really appreciate it, and I use it a lot in cooking.

I cannot recall what cilantro tastes like. However, according to this one site it tastes like a mix of parsley and citrus, and I like both (in fact, I'll eat parsley on its own), so I imagine cilantro can't be that bad.

I thought coriander was the name for the seeds, and cilantro was the leaves, but I'm not sure if that's true.

Other. I looooove cilantro. I could eat a fresh cilantro sandwich I love it so much. My Mary hates it...but she'll come around.

Yes. coriander is the seeds, cilantro is the leaves. Also known as Chinese Parsley.

I like it fine. Most times I prefer it in moderation, not piled on like some of the ptomaine wagons do it.

Wow, Cloudy... learn something new every day. Coriander tastes so much different from cilantro.

Thanks for the info! I don't think I've ever heard it called Chinese parsley before. That's weird, because I don't think of that flavor in Chinese cooking, but I probably don't have a very wide knowledge of Chinese food. I tend to stick with a few restaurant favorites that are surely Americanized.

I love cilantro and could put it in everything or eat it alone. It is very addictive.

Cilantro/Coriander, I add it to loads of dishes. Its a key ingredient in fresh homemade salsa too. Yum
