    I like it because it has a unique, sharp, pungent flavor that is unlike anything else I’ve ever eaten. I can’t get enough of the stuff. I could literally put an entire bunch of cilantro in any dish that calls for it. Doesn’t taste bitter nor acrid at all. It makes a lot of Asian and Mexican dishes taste so much better. I wish I could better describe what it tastes like to me to people who don’t like it, cause y’all are really missing out.

      To me it’s so bitter I can’t even bite down on it. It reminds me of syphoning gas for the lawn mower as a kid and getting a mouthful of kerosene. BLECH.

        Man that is so foreign and bizarre to me. My mouth is watering just thinking about cilantro right now.

          Well all of us have unique likes and dislikes, maybe our tastebuds are as unique as our fingerprints. I only know that I can’t abide the taste of cilantro. I do use a lot of other herbs, like thyme and basil that a lot milder, but only lightly because - well I love how things taste without other stuff on them. I am weird that way.
