Hahaha shit happens. Seriously though, out of curiosity, would you say it tastes like soap to you? Because that’s what I’ve always heard when it comes to that gene
This is the best TIL I have had in the last several months. I always thought they were all just wrong about the taste, but they were actually just wrong genetically.
I was just referencing a humorous trope about white people thinking everything is too spicy. I have no actual judgements about what flavors people like and dislike.
Sounds like you are a super taster. My wife is a super taster too. She can’t eat food that has been in the same room as cilantro. She likes meat cooked medium well, with maybe just a hint of season salt. She is the only person I know who likes easting salad without any dressing. Anything spicy is absolutely out of the question for her, including green peppers.
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.

Isn’t cilantro the one where some people have a gene that makes it taste completely different?
Yeah, apparently it’s called OR6A2
In other words it’s not cilantro that’s bad, it’s just this guy’s mom grew him wrong and his genes came out all wonky.

My man it’s clearly a joke. Nothing more.

“This ranch dressing is so spicy!”

People are different it really isn’t nice to mock them.

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