Am I also deficient if I lack the ability to taste soap when I eat cilantro?

[–] ARk@lemm.ee 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

please eat all the cilantro so we never have to see it on a dish again

I'm one of the very rare people that have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, but likes it. I blame the soap flavoured gum I had as a kid here in Canada.

So maybe save a little soaplantro for those that want it ;)

cilantro tastes like soap for you ? no way, is this real ?

It's pretty common. I mourn for those that aren't freakish enough to actually want to eat soap. I mourn for those like the parent too, but for different reasons.

Yes because it makes you worse at finding and disposing of those damn stink bugs, whose stink smells vaguely like how soapy cilantro tastes because of aldehydes.
